I love to make my table look pretty for any occasion and since we were having my husbands family over for Easter Dinner, I thought it would be the perfect excuse for me to cutisfy up our dining room table!
Oh and did I mention I am the queen of spending next to nothing:)
First up....
Napkins {or should I say $1 bandanas from the craft store} wrapped in a simple ribbon~
Next....seagrass placemats from the Christmas Tree Shops for $ 1 each:)
Looks pretty cute and springy.....I think!
I used those super easy and inexpensive coasters I made~
and while everyone else was at church I was "stealing" daffodils from a local school yard! Hey....at least they weren't from someone's yard:) haha
I really liked the way it turned out! I hope my husband's family did too:)
So, what do you think of my tablescaping abilities?!?!?
and just because.....
an Easter photo of me and my grammie:) I just love her!!! She is a big reason for who I am today!
The lady is 74 years young and still going strong! She gardens, sews, crafts and still works!!!! What an inspiration!!
Do you have a family member that inspires you?!?!?
Hope you have a fabulous week!! I am on spring break this week and hope to get some yard work done:)

My grandparents are inspiration.. my grandfather just past (feb 15/10) and that sucked, but it is because of him that got me starting this blog.. lol..and im betting your and my grandma's would get along well.. my gram is the same way. Hands on. be it gardening, or home improvements.. she does it all...
glad to hear you had a good easter!
Everything looks great. Surprising what can be done with inexpensive things.
ReplyDeleteLove your beach-style table! The centerpiece where we went for dinner was a frothy runner decorated with three or four wine bottles...I guess the effort was made but I would have preferred your beachy look!
ReplyDeleteJust awesomly springy! And I have the same placemats!!
ReplyDeleteAwww Grammy looks sweet! And so did that dining room! Yes....we had a relaxing and refreshing easter. Sand in our toes...more frecles now.
ReplyDeleteHow could they NOT like it?? It's so pretty....know what the first word was that came to my mind when I looked at it? Calm. what better feeling to have when you sit down to a nice dinner?!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I did take the shot of my new header. That was Hope Town in the Abacos Islands. Our boat is even in the pic!! I spent many hours in those chairs, jounaling!
