Pretty in Pink

12 years ago

The best thing about this table is that it only cost 1.99, the price of the Boa. I had every thing else. I got the placemats last summer. The sherbets my DGD found at a yard sale, and the stems are from last year's Valentine table.

Hope you enjoyed looking.

Best $1.99 table I've ever seen! Great idea using
the boa as a CP accent.

Everything is so pretty and sweet looking!
I know my DGD would love sitting at this table -
waiting for 'Prince Charming'!! lol
Love the layering of your dishes - especially with those ruffled glass ones.
I see you have the pink polka dot dishes. Did you get yours at CTS too?
I'm eyeing your flatware. Looks like a swirl pattern with two colors.
Never seen that before and I like the look.

Great table Nana - and I did enjoy looking.

Oh you've got some 'pretties' on this table! What strikes me first is your flatware that must be clear & picking up the stripes of your placemat! Cool!

Your placesetting is so pretty... love the clear plate & the polka dot one! Pretty crisp t'cloth & napkins, too...now that boa, hmmmm, that's pretty 'risque,' isn't it! Giggle, giggle!~~~~~

A pretty, fun table, nana! Love those tulips, too! TFS! Jeanne S.

Pincushion and Pretty in Pink Eden
Q

Eden notoriously takes a long time to establish herself and start blooming well. At least, that's been true for a lot of us. I hope this doesn't discourage you, but 2 of mine took 4 years, but that 4th year was great with a huge first flush, then almost constant bloom thereafter. Another one only took 3 years and it bloomed non stop all summer. Two other 4 yr olds have never bloomed. If you're in zone 6 or above, you will have blooms sooner and more of them than I get here. She's worth waiting on, in my opinion.

Wow! You're right. At least they're related🤣 The buds didn't look right, but both have similar stems, and clasping leaves. I couldn't think of anything else.

@CeresMer Zone 7a NJ The bands of Bolero when I got them were small and had a little BS. Since I had never gotten bands before they looked especially small. However when I went on to planting them in the ground I found all three to be very well rooted. The three just hung in there all last year. I guess they were dropping roots. This year they just took off. I could not be more pleased. This is one of the bands: This is the three of them in the ground last fall: This is one of them with huge fragrant flowers this spring: The shrubs are much, much, bigger now but I dont have a current picture. I think I allowed them to grow by removing 95% of the forming buds. Still there are more than enough flowers. I cant guarantee each and every purchase will be perfect but every rose I got from them is doing well. If you buy through Amazon you can return/get refund if you get a bad guy. Shipping gets less on multiples. I dont have that much experience buying roses but I think this a good purveyor. You will love Bolero, especially after a year or two!

Is it very hot where you are? I grow both regular and PiP Eden and haven’t seen that before but heat can reduce the petal count and cause stripes like that. I’m in the PNW and my Edens are mostly resting during the hottest part of the summer and our hot isn’t very hot compared to other places.

Nana, oh so pretty in pink! Love your layering. Your flatware caught my eye too. Please share if it's clear or swirled. Your stems are so pretty all decorated.

I have several boas and haven't used them in awhile. After seeing yours I might remember to use them again. Thanks

Thanks everyone! This was such a fun little table to do.
Darn I always forget to mention something in my descriptions.
The polka dot plates are from CTS. The flatware is clear. they are from CTS too.
I think it's neat that it looks swirled against the placemats.
The sherbets are pink. They look clear on my monitor.
The napkin rings are hair scrunchies. I love to re-purpose things.
Thank you all again

Thanks for the all the details on your table Nana.
I'm laughing as I took another look and see that yes indeed
your flatware is clear and picking up the pattern from the
placemat! (Jeanne..your eyes are still young enough to see that)!!
Again Nana..love this 'pretty in pink table'...
