Woodland Table

I had several pieces

that inspired this simple tablescape
For Two

I picked up this basket many years ago at a consignment store.

I couldn't decide if the handle was wood or horn. With some help, I finally decided it is wood.

My son brought this adorable pitcher to me from

Yosemite National Park.

No, this is not a shoe for "bigfoot".
I bought this wooden bowl/plate from the same consignment store.

It was made by Jack Carpenter

at the John C. Campbell Folk School

In Brasstown, N. C.

Mr. Carpenter retired in September 2011

after being at the school for fifty years.

This is a facinating place

you can read at the above link.

I have to mention "Bob's" Bob glasses. My daugher gave him a set and he loves to use them.
This one says "Looking good Bob".

I start with these neat placemats

embroidered with pinecones

From the Dollar Tree, yep, $1.00 each

Natural woven charger with

Smith Taylor Smith "Sierra Brown"

Taylor Smith Taylor salad plate

"Reveille"

TST "Sierra Brown" bowl

The soup crocks were gifts from daughters in the

"Twelve Days of Christmas" spectacular of 2009

Homespun napkins, gift from Kim.

I plan to jazz them up for another table.

Flatware from Horchow. There are a lot of these

in blogland. I like the black that I have seen.

I dug up the ornamental cabbage from the flower beds.

The fern is from the front porch

and the Lantana is still blooming.

Since this was a table for two I put the fru fru at the other end of the table.

I already had the two natural orbs.

R. D.(red dog), my granddog and I enjoyed our walk to gather lichen. We also chased a few squirrels.

I even treed one, but R. D. made me move along.

This litle log is actually a squirrel feeder

turned votive holder.

Not sure my little friend is happy about the upcycling.

Sweet little family but I wouldn't want

to mess with THEM in the wild!

These little babies are around my house all year.

I hope you enjoyed this simple woodland table.

A Savannah Valentine Times Two

I just loved this tablescape

that I did last year!

Since I have made so many new friends

during the past year I thought I would

share this tablescape again.

I hope you enjoy it

the second time around!
