Father's Day Table

11 years ago

I'm slow getting this table posted but wanted to share my simple ts. DD gave me this set of Gibson dishes. I hadn't used them on a table so set a man table for the day using one candle for the cp and no flowers.

Kids spent the day helping us pull out our over grown shrubs from the circle drive way. I asked DH what he wanted to do after he got home from work.(He's been working seven days a week running high water) He said it didn't matter so wonder if he'll say that again.LOL

You'll have to excuse the pink bird nest beside the buffet. It was left from DGD's BDay party. Was so busy getting ready for the party that I didn't get any really good pictures to share.

We dined on Chicken Alfredo from Costco, tossed green salad and garlic toast. Leftover cake and ice cream for dessert. Hope all of you had a nice day and treated your DH's better than I did.

Such a beautiful table setting. I love the gold chargers and the candle in the middle of the table. Everything looks great. I'm sure your husband appreciated it.

Punk, your table is perfect for Father's Day!
The dishes look so pretty on the gold chargers and I really like the lacy overlays on the placemats.
Dinner sounds delicious!

What a delightful table, Nana. And like the others, I love the ties. Who'd have thought! Well, obviously you did! I bet you might have a bunch borrowing this idea in the future. Especially if it shows up on someone's blog. I hope it does. That was so neat your dear husband got a trip to Africa. It must have been such a thrill. Hope he took lots of photos for you. I have to admit I'm not looking forward to Father's Day, just can't believe its already the 2nd one without my Dad. But I do enjoy seeing tablescapes and decor, and thinking of all the wonderful Dads (here and gone) who hold special places in our hearts. hugs, Karen

PD, this table is one even my husband would appreciate--golf related! What a cute find for your centerpiece, and I love the way you used the black/white with the green accents. I was just thinking "now isn't that great that she even had green candle holders to match"--good that you snagged those at the sales! The last picture would be my DH too--he much prefers to eat in front of the tv! LOL Luvs

Have to brag on our DS and DIL. They had family to their home for dinner: Planked salmon (grilled by our DS), corn, coleslaw, apple and blueberry pies and watermelon. They have a 4 month old baby girl and a six year old boy. We did 'hand the baby around' to give Mom and Dad a break, and I played a long and very loose-rules Game of Life with DGS to keep him happy. Warm and humid here so we stayed indoors with the A/C on. Hard to top last Fathers' Day when they announced new baby coming in February! Such joy!

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
Blue & White dishes are my first love!
Punk, these dishes from DD are just lovely and the table you set for
Father's Day is just perfect! I love the look of the blue stems
and the napkins are such a beautiful blue.
I have to agree too - that the
lacey placemats are really pretty and I think create a special elegance.

punk...you never cease to surprise me w/your t'scape talent...it's 'Father's Day'...man's day...macho ...& you pull off the most 'handsome' Father's Day table with 'lacey placemats!' ;-) I love it! & I love all the 'layering' to achieve this 'manly' table! The CP choice is perfect! & candlelight, too... Can't see everything on your buffet but it sure looks good from a distance! TFS...& slow down some, punk! (@ work, I mean) ...you & DH! TFS! Jeanne S.

Thanks so much everyone for all the sweet comments. Those are actually Noble Excellence lg gold plates under the others. My dear family blessed me with a set of eight at Christmas.

I hadn't thought of the top place mats as lacey until some of you brought it to my attention. They are made out of some type of string so I thought of them as manly.LOL

Here's a close up of the buffet. Used some blue candle holdrs and my black cake plate I used for DGD's BDay cp. Also a couple of my gold candy dishes.

Thanks again for all your comments.

I hope your DH had a great day and enjoyed his special table.
Very refreshing!

Karen, so glad to see you posting. I've been thinking about you and need an update on how you are doing.

Candy and Karen, thanks for the comments.

DH has been working every day for over a month at work so no R & R for him. Hopefully the water will slow down and let him enjoy some time with family over the 4th.
