Just a Fun Flamingo Table

This week's tablescape is a break from all of the mayhem and madness going on around the world. We wanted something fun and diverting - thus pink flamingos. Nothing says entertaining and amusing like this crazy, wildly popular icon of pop culture.

This table is much more reserve and constrained than we usually set when using pink flamingo.

Gnomes Gone Wild Tablescape

Our brother's granddaughter, Maya, and Pat worked together on this week's whimsical table setting a fun, garden-themed tablescape perfect for Spring.

And before anyone asks - no, I don't have any gnomes in my yard. The neighbors and my family already think I am a little "odd" what with the ginormous amount of dinnerware, flatware, glassware, and books that I own and store in every room of my house.....

Just a very small selection of gnomes that I own

The red mushroom sprouted....Pat and I went to TJMaxx and guess what I found? Yep. Another mushroom that I had to have. I added it to the table after I had taken the blog pictures and after Pat left since she is not quite the "gnome afficionado" and devotee that I am......
