Frou, Wow!! Super table. What a great buy on that sari!! Those heavy chains are really cool, but I love the little Mardi Gras plates the best. I didn't realize the parades were any time other than on Fat Tuesday. But then I don't know a great deal about Mardi Gras, other than there are crewes who put on the parades, they throw lots of beads, the colors are purple, green, and gold and there are lots of masks. I would like to visit New Orleans some day, but I don't think I would like to go at Mardi Gras time, I'm not a big fan of crowds. Wonderful job for just "throwing it together." TFS, Candy

pd...What a lovely Easter Table! Those dishes are really very pretty. I love the pinks and the blues and I just love those Bunny Naplin Rings. What a great GW find. Your St Pat's table is very pretty. I really love the different shades of green. I think the chargers really set them off nicely. Those glasses are such a nice added touch...I can't believe the amazing finds that you get from GW! All very nice. jane

You gals are so amazing. I read all your comments and then went back up to look again before posting comments and I'm laughing so darn hard from seeing that I didn' put my glassed in the same order on the table. Is this normal when tweaking?LOL I do want to thank you all for your wonderful comments and just taking the time to try and help me understand what it takes to make a tablescape right. I will go back and add two more place settings because I couldn't agree more that it wouldn't be the way I would leave it if I was entertaining guests for dinner. Syble, I take it you haven't been lucky enough to sit at a table with GOLD COINS. Is this right? Well I must admit, I'm Busted! The gold coins are the stickers that came on the Princess House crystal. So gald you pointed that out because I knew I should go back and remove them and relight the candles but didn't want to take the time. I should be ebarrassed but I'm laughing so hard, only because all of you are so fun. Did some of you others notice and not say anything? I was going to remove them and forgot.LOL Punk
