I haven't been to Mardi Gras, but I was in New Orleans a decade ago. That is where I got this little jester magnet.

You probably recognize Emily and the other things. I don't have a limitless supply, so I reuse things from time to time.

Do you like the shadows? The beauty of shadows is that they add another dimension.

I liked the soft lighting on this shot.

Here is the front view with a huge shadow.

I sure hope that you enjoy them!

The quilt and the peacocks were my
inspiration pieces for this tablescape.
The lamp was my Grandma T.'s

Oh, the quilt. My Dad's Grandma J. made it for my Grandma and Grandpa J. for their wedding gift around 75 years ago. They were all living in Arkansas then.

What a beautiful table. That quilt for a tablecloth is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI think you have made it even better this time. Loved the peppers.

Thank you very, very much, Fabby and Rachel. Oh, those pretty peacocks? .50 each .... score!
ReplyDeletevery very nice! I love those round boxes, are they lacquered? Gorgeous table fit for a great party!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteIs the "Hurt Not the Earth" box a lunch box? Where did you find that? That is one of my absolutely favorite Mary Engelbreit works, I have the 16x20 in my office (I work in environmental education). I would love to find that for my collection. I have many of Mary's environmental themed works framed.

Thank you, Grace and Martha.
ReplyDeleteGrace, the round boxes are painted tins that I found at a garage sale long ago.
Martha, I bought those at Hiron's Drug Store in Eugene, Oregon ... they used to have a huge selection, I'm not sure if they still do or not. You might check on Mary Engelbreit.com
Oh wow I love your tablescape. The beads on the chandelier is fancy. And your dish I love it too. And your tablecloth is that a quilt? Love it! Thanks for sharing your tablescape.
ReplyDeleteUsing what you have on hand works for me! Being a quilt nut, I like that added touch on your festive table.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy, for visiting.
I love the peacocks and the beads, very Mardi Gras looking. Such a beautiful quilt! And of course I love the cross.
ReplyDeleteI do believe you had more than enough for this great table setting. Never saw so many pretty things in one place.
ReplyDeleteHi everybody! Thanks for visiting and leaving your sweet comments. Now I'm off to see you, if I haven't already. :>)
ReplyDeleteNow, that is a festive table if I have ever seen one...love it! the little peacock birds roosting in the champagne flutes are adorable. Thanks for sharing.
