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














Where it came from:
Red Place Mats - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago
Rattan Place Mats - from Pier 1 eight or nine years ago
Green Charger Plates - "Geranium" 13" Chop Plates by Bordallo Pinheiro from eBay and Replacements,Ltd.
Red Dinner Plates - "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach from Tuesday Morning, eBay and Replacements,Ltd.
Blue Luncheon and Bread and Butter Plates - "Vintage Cobalt" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from where ever we could find it (antique stores, eBay, Replacements,Ltd. etc)
Gnome Accent Plates - "Gnomes" by Kiss That Frog from eBay
Glassware - from the Dollar Tree (always available)
Flatware - "Treble Clef" by Gourmet Settings from Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago
Red and Yellow Napkins - from Pier 1 
Gold Napkin Rings - from Pier 1 ten or eleven years ago
Gnomes - Where ever we can find them.......

This week, we will be joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch:  http://betweennapsontheporch.net/
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......
