Tax Time Tablescape

As we scramble to file our taxes before April 18th, it occurred to us that it would be a great tablescaping theme (yeah, I know....weird but different.) Pat pulled out the old place mats that she made and the money bags she bought when she gave a party/dinner for me after my retirement (Pat's theme for that party?? but of course is would be  "Living Off the Public Dole From Now On") and came up with the table for this week.

Our great-niece came up with the color combination of "Apricot" and "Periwinkle" Fiesta(ware). We are going to miss her. She graduates next month from Cal Poly Humboldt and is moving to Boston to continue her education

Pat bought the flatware this week at Costco - "Pinch" by Mikasa

Glasses are "Picardy" from Pier 1 several years ago

Authentic money bags act as the centerpiece

The place mats are made from old 1040's ripped and decoupaged onto heavy craft paper

Where it came from:

Place Mats - Handmade years ago

Dinnerware - "Periwinkle" and  "Apricot" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements,Ltd. and  eBay (both colors are retired)

Flatware - "Pinch" by Mikasa from Costco this month

Glassware "Picardy" from Pier 1 seven or eight years ago

Apricot Hemstitch Napkins - from Pier 1 six or seven years ago

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