Surprise, Pat!!! I know you hated the metal pelican, but I had to get it........this will teach you not to leave me alone with the table while you are gone.

Yes, I know, the stuff inside the shell doesn't all "go together" - but it's my first attempt at a centerpiece......

I originally thought about just setting the pelican out at the party Pat is giving next month, but I couldn't wait. (You can tell we have both have a weird sense of humor.) Don't leave me on my own, Pat, to finish up the table.......

I put one of the mugs on the table so you can see what it looked like

I like pelicans and I like this table! The plates are cute and I love all the little beachy touches, especially the napkin rings. You did well with your centerpiece and of course that big pelican belongs on this table. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love this and your plate stack is amazing. A few weeks back while I Big Lots I picked up a Pelican and then put it back. After seeing this beautiful table I really regret that.
ReplyDeleteI love the pelican and the dishes! Too cute. And your centerpiece is lovely - you did a good job finishing the table!
ReplyDeleteA great casual, cohesive table. The stripes really make it pop! And no one would have guessed this was your first centerpiece.

I love this! So summery, beachy and cheerful. I love how the centerpiece turned out and the metal pelican. The striped cloth is the perfect backdrop- great colors. Gotta love the pelican plates- real keepers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and lovely tablescape. Thank you for sharing at Dishing it and Digging it link party.
ReplyDeleteI love the pelicans too. They'll grow on your sister, give it time. Fun theme!
ReplyDeleteHola, qué suerte que tu hermana cediera con ese plato de pelícano; a veces las piezas más peculiares son las que terminan dándole más carácter a una mesa bien decorada. Yo estuve ayer buscando ideas de vajillas y combinaciones de colores para eventos, y terminé con la cabeza tan saturada de opciones que necesitaba un respiro total. Un colega me recomendó entrar en spino gambino bonus y aproveché los bonos para España que tienen ahora. Empecé con mala racha, pero en la última jugada gané un premio que me cambió el ánimo. ¡Es ideal para desconectar tras planear una cena perfecta!
