This is my Tablescape Tuesday in 5 minutes! This is set up on the coffee table in my family room.
I brought home from the flower shop today...candles, the rose china, the mirror, the stemware & the flower arrangement. This is what I came up with in 5 minutes. Sorry, working on a bridal show & have time constraints!
To see the other, more planned out Tablescapes visit Susan at
Between Naps on the Porch she has posted a complete list of participants.
My centerpiece is nothing more than 3 candles placed on the mirror with some gems & some loose gemstone chip beads. Places on top of a lace table runner that I bunched up corner to corner on my square coffee table.
Here is a different angle of the centerpiece with the flower arrangement off to the one corner.
The centerpiece is glitter grape ivy & glitterd apples designed on top of a candle stick. If you have seen some of my previous posts, you will notice that I am fond of designing flower arrangement on top of candle sticks. The are great to use, especially when you can on find on of a kind.
I used my everyday sage green Longaberger dishes with some rose china on top with a couple of pieces of stemware I picked up at TJMAXX. The stemware & the china were just random pieces I bought so that I could set a small wicker table in my flower shop.
Very quick & simple! Took me less time to set the table than it did my husband to make the grilled cheese sandwhiches & fried baked potatoes that we had for dinner!

So nice to meet you....now I'll be following YOUR blog.
Always like to know where we find each other....maybe over at betweennapsontheporch
OK, I've got two things to say:
First, you and your husband are two lucky people - you for him fixing such a yummy supper and him for the table setting you lovingly prepared.
Second, if this is what you can produce in five minutes...holey moley, I'd like to see what an ordinary mortal's timeframe would produce!!!
Love,
Jlo
