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
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.
I am partying here:
