Pat and I have been "playing" with our dishes again.....and this made it very hard to choose which table to feature this week. So - I threw the choices in a hat and picked "Them! Revisited" - our version of the famous si-fi film of the 1950's about ants on the loose. The table really came together when Pat found the material for the napkins last year. We couldn't use all the ants we had - some were just too big for the table. But I think that you will get the idea.........

Here's a closeup of the napkin fold.

The hamburger is actually the salt and pepper shaker.

Tiny pitchers filled with daisies match the centerpiece.

Ralph came to the party dressed for the event.

These great plates were purchased at Pier 1 last year.

The square salad plate is from World Market.

Red and black placemats were used for added color.

Each place setting uses both a water glass and pilsner.

We had to end with this little guy.......because he is so cute.
