Hmmm, not sure about that--those things shed really bad, might end up with feathers in my food! LOL

spray them with hair spray and it cuts the shedding down some!! i have used them to make multi colored wreaths, and the hair spray really made a difference! I think the idea looks really pretty and festive!

Hi Betty, No problem, it was funny AFTER I read the whole post! LOL That china was my DH's Grandmother's. The soft pink colors of the flowers look nice in my china cabinet, and she would love that we use it and enjoy it. Chocolate covered strawberries! Yum! Almost time to make some of those again. We have several roadside stands by strawberry fields here, so love to buy the fresh picked ones. You won't be the first "pink convert" on here. I have some pink, but Judith, Sandi, and Dream Goddess have LOTS of pink goodies. ;o) So how are you enjoying retirement? Did it feel strange that first week--sort of like you weren't "supposed" to be home all day? Took me awhile to get out of the get up early and get busy routine--however, you can see that I've completely gotten over that now! LOL Luvs

Thanks for the get well wishes. We had one big project left after completely redoing our kitchen & that was to do new wallpaper on the diningroom wall which is adjacent to the kitchen. DH wanted to get to that today, only thing is, he sort of pooped out & I ended up doing most of it til 11:30 p.m. We started at 6 p.m. & he kept taking breaks & then went to bed on me at 10 p.m. & I just kept at it. I'll probably be sorry tomorrow, not over this cold yet, but definitely feeling better today. We had unexpected company last nite & they loved my table, I have an in-between Valentines & Easter decoration on my table & they loved it, so I had to send her the site where I got all my inspiration! LOL Had to tell you ladies that one!!

Delph, how do you remember those things, LOL...I don't dislike them ...only in my house! :) They are very cute to look at...Some might feel that way about my 4 little gkids! And thank you! OA, I don't think the dishes are older than the napkins...she didn't always have them...somewhere along the line she acquired them....and she really didn't want to give them to me! I kind of twisted her arm...:) One of my other sisters got her good china and gorgeous china chargers when we split up her house.... And no way could I make any of you look bad! Maryanne! How nice to see you..I wanted to email you, but you have no email.. Thanks for your comments and visiting my little blog too! Thanks Luvs, Betty, pdg, dd, dd50, mo, magpie..and Prosperity..I appreciate you kind comments.. DD, I did them 3 diff days..don't want YKW to go ballistic! PD, they were 5 each...same by you? NCnana, I never ask anyone to pick..like with dessert, one of each please! LOL Lynne I wish!! I have been trying to improve my skills, but I would love to take a course. Food is difficult, and the lighting has to be good... But thanks..:) Jane you are so sweet. You and so many of the others here do a great job on your tables..we all inspire each other...

Would like ideas for centerpieces

Thanks for the great ideas. I thought about candy but also thought "Halloween". I wondered about the little battery powered string lights but don't know how long those stay lit. For the food tableI have three large metal fall pieces that are a gourd and a pumpkin in green and a pumpkin in orange. They are very nice and I was able to get them really really cheap at a floral design shop that was closing. You have given me alot to think about. Im not sure of the size of the pumpkins but Im sure you have all seen them as they are very common. I would estimate them to be about 10-11 inches tall and kinda fat. How's that for a description.

I agree, Jaybird. However I think the boa would be waaaaay too much temptation for the Brat Cat. I am positive he'd love me to decorate with one! LOL

Snolady, Thanks for sharing this with us. I have a pink boa (it doesn't have the pretty feathers though) that would look really pretty for a Valentine's and Easter deco on a side table in my living room.

I stopped by Big Lots the other day and they had heart wreaths covered in feathers. Came in red or pink. Just thought someone might want to know. ;o) Luvs

It is a nice idea... I bet that clear floral spray paint that Michael's has (DesignMaster, I think it's called) would work well to preserve the feathers and prevent shedding, too.

Michaels had had some cute feather wreaths at Christmas. I'd gotten one with peacock feathers.

And why didn't we get to see a pic of your peacock wreath, Jenn? That sounds pretty neat. Or maybe it was in one of your pics and I just didn't focus in on it. That happens to me allot too. LOL

It's not my craft. Just one I found online. I would think you could either glue a feather boa to a styrofoam wreath shape or some flat cardboard cut in a wreath shape and set the glass inside it. Anyone else got any ideas how this craft might have been made.
