Hubby's Birthday Table

13 years ago

Tonight we're having corn chowder, breaded baked chicken, green salad and garlic toast.

Bought four of the leaf plates from Pottery Barn last year when they dipped in price, but . . .

I don't see them this year, so it looks like I won't be adding to the collection.

Got the chargers on Ebay for a song. One had a little frayed place on the edge that was easy to fix

with a glue gun.

The duck decoy belonged to my father.

Happy Birthday to DH! Sounds like a yummie menu. Your table is really cool. I love your table, lanterns and duck make it so manly. The placemats and leaf plates give it just the right fall touch.

Happy Birthday to your DH. Clam chowder sounds so good especially now that our weather is rainy and cool, huh? I love the fabric colors in your placemats and napkins. And the decoy goes great with those lanterns and the wreath and vines tie them together perfectly. Sorry about there not being more plates available. I like the woven chargers, they work so well for all seasons. Hope you had a nice evening together. Luvs

Februrary Purple Birthday Table

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments. This table was fun to do. I was thrilled when I found those flower plates. I thought of using the glass baskets at the last minute. Oh I forgot to mention that I got the name card holders at CTS. Punk The stem ware was originally a service for 8 one of the goblets was broken, as well as several of the cordials. OA I'll be sure to send everything to you just as soon as I have some free time LOL. It would be fun, tho, to see how some one else would do a table using the same things. The table reminds me of spring as well, especially since there is 7 more inches of snow on the ground. NanaK

March Birthday Table & Easter Tree
Q
Comments (11)
Well I just lost my entire post!!! How in the world do I do that??? Punk, I'm calling this blue Turquoise since that is the birthstone for March. I like the way the flash makes the stems light up too. I added the gems for more sparkle. The Tree is a White Birch branch. I've been using for years, it's really brittle now and will need to be replaced soon. Candy the crocheted placemats are vinyl and came from CTS, I think Michaels has them also. Jane, These colors speak to me as well they are so Springy. and I love pastels. I used the daffodils and jonquils because they are the flower for March. Karen, I think that little shoe is cute, and I thank my DF for lending it to me. Jeanne, Those cups absolutely belong with my plates!!! they would be perfect for whimsical Spring Tea Party. Gosh it would be fun to get together and see what we could come up with....Where is that bus when you need it???... My tree does take a while to decorate, especially since I decide to move to another location AFTER it is trimmed! Frou, The placemats came from CTS, but I think Michaels has them too. I found Mr and Mrs. Bunny this year I think they are the right size to go with the tree. I'm glad you all enjoyed my pictures. Thanks for all your wonderful comments. NanaK

May Birthday Table

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. You are right Karen I did 'need' the candlesticks. I try to be thrifty when buying things for these tables. Sometimes when I see something that will work I might pay a little more. Jeanne, The Lily of the Valley hasn't bloomed here yet either. It is one of my favorite flowers [along with lilacs] I'm sorry it doesn't bloom longer. I had the scrapbooking paper left over from the crown I made for my Mardi Gras table I'm glad I remembered that I had it. Marylee, Thank you, the idea for these tables came about when my DD asked to do one for her BD back in Jan. Candy, I love stems with the green bottoms too. When I saw them they wanted to come home with me. They are a little small for sherbets, I think, but I like the way they look on the plates. Thank you Frou, I hope Milk Glass doesn't become another addiction for me. Welcome Caroleena, and Thank you I hope you will come back and join us. I have never seen anything like those stems before. When I saw them I had to have them. Punk, my DD found the appliques She had the biggest smile on her face when she showed them to me. She shops with me frequently because I don't like driving in heavy traffic. I guess you could say she is an enabler too. LOL Jane, The dishes are pretty aren't they? I try to find place settings for two for my tables since storage is at a premium. These are so pretty and the price was right. I was happy to find those guest towels. I hoped to find a TC with a Lily of the Valley pattern, but no luck. I will probably find one now that I'm not looking for one. Thank You all again NanaK

Q

Jane, thanks for all your comments. The boa's are the ones DD bought me at Michaels on clearance for $1 ea. Karen, if I set a table for you it would be full of purple colors!LOL Any time you feel like a vacation, come on up. Thanks Candy, hope DGD will remember this one. Luvs, no wonder this ice cream cone called to you! Your an Ice Cr Cone making Queen! I love yours and the red cherry really stands out. I think you could go with a heart, cherry or red and white theme and it would be darling. BTW, vanilla is my favorite flavor. There was a time in my life I didn't pass DQ w/o stopping for a Butterfinger Blizzard. Glad that passed but I still enjoy one occasionally. Punk

Ohhh, this is such a pretty table, OA! I do love the ebay charger finds...they look like almost a "rope-like" media..very "Fallish!" Green leaves are beautiful on the dinner plate & the charger & blend in so nicely with the stemware.

Amazing centerpc ...love the black metal lanterns & I guess we may be on the same wavelength cause I just bought the taller one for my DD for her b'day gift a few wks ago...with a beautiful "sandlewood" candle...great minds think alike, uh? LOL! And that precious decoy of your Dad's is perfect for this b'day table along with the vines & wreath! Love everything! TFS! Jeanne S. ...oh, happy b'day to DH!

OA,

That's a table after my own heart! Unlike a lot of you gals, I love orange and brown, and all autumn colors. And I love plaid.

I think your hunter green tablecloth sets the perfect background for this wonderful table. I'd love to have leaf plates like that. The vines, the lantern, the decoy--it's just perfect!

Pretty table, the duck decoy fits in perfectly, did you paint it or was it that nice dark fall color?

Happy Birthday DH !
I love the colors you chose for this table.
With your plates, chargers and pretty stems it's a perfect fall setting. The colors in your placemats match perfectly with everything, and I like how you tied up your napkins too

I LOVE how you arranged your Dad's decoy using the
wreath and vines. He looks like he's right at home.
The lanterns look great. and are perfect for this setting.
Seems we all thought of those lanterns this year and yours look wonderful together.
Oh...not to forget..your meal sounds so delicious.
Hope DH enjoyed everything.

Another wonderful setting (and Happy Birthday to DH)!
Hunter green is a favorite color of mine, so I really love the tablecloth and how well it sets off the other colors.
The lanterns and duck are such a neat centerpiece!

OA. what a neat birthday table/ :love your lanterns, and the decoy is priceless. Does it seem to anyone else that all our tastes seem to run in the same direction? I have always loved lanterns, and decoys. Are the vines for real from your garden or faux, which ever , they are just the perfect finishing touch. Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes to DH! How could it not be great with such a nice dinner served on such a pretty table. Janet
