A SPRING TABLESCAPE

Daisies are my favorite flowers, just so simple with their scraggly leaves. I grow them at the lake and usually have a few vases of them everywhere I can stick them! These are from the grocery store and they are looking pretty on my table today.
I cut some tulips this morning, just the few that actually made it through the winter. I don't know why mine came up so badly, my neighbor has a beautiful bunch in front of her house. Tulip envy! See the little salt and pepper shakers...two peas in a pod? They are SO cute!
My sweet friend, Julie Marie from Idyll Hours sent me this book after reading my last post about my never ending quest to lose weight. She swears by the philosophy of this book and wanted so badly for me to not give up the things I love to eat, but to learn to eat what I love without the guilt and the weight gain. I am just a few pages into it and it really seems like a good book. I'll fill you in more as I get through it. It is on my sidebar and you can order it through Amazon or Overstock. Thanks again Julie Marie, you are truly a good friend!
So on to the tablescape. I spent a few days making this, adding a little bit at a time {I've been super busy}. I really wanted something spring~like and whimsical.
I fell in love with these little chicks made out of hydrangeas. They even have little feathers on their tummies!
The centerpiece is the huge tree I got from Wisteria. Of course it would have to be moved if we were to eat here, but I am just playing with my dishes!
The plates are from Anthropologie and Pier 1. So are the wine glasses.
My bunny showed up in my last post. The napkins and rings are from Williams Sonoma and my silver plate is just mismatched and old.
I have this set up at the table in the family room. I like that I can leave it there as long as I want. It was fun to do, maybe I will be doing more again in the future. I am joining Kathleen for her party called Let's Dish. Visit her at Cuisine Kathleen.
Today is the first day that I am home alone and am having some "Me" time. Sunday was grocery shopping and cleaning out the fridge. Monday I ran errands with Emily and we stopped in a cute dress shop. She found some cute spring dresses and I got some shoes and jewelry. Last night we had the whole gang over for dinner. I made barbecue ribs, baby red mashed potatoes, corn, salad, bread and we had Oreo cookie pie for dessert. I also mixed up some margaritas to go with the cheese ball and crackers. As always, we had fun.

So this morning I am just sipping my tea and wondering what I am going to do with myself on this gorgeous spring day. Maybe take a walk or just read my book. I hope all of you are having a wonderful week and I will be back soon! :-)
