Tablescape

DD8 was so elated that we said "yes" to allowing her friend to stay for dinner that she and her friend decided they would show their gratitude by setting the table. Of course, they went to the china cabinet to select some pretty things to create an attractive tablescape -- starting with an antique vase that's almost 100 years old and has sentimental value!

And we can't forget the exquisite Royal Doulton figurines:

These girls have expensive taste! :)

Tablescapes are something that fascinate me, and that I'd like to get better at creating. Do you have any favourite items that you use to make a table look especially pretty? Can you direct me to any places that will teach or inspire someone who wants to learn more? Between Naps on the Porch is one such place I've discovered. Check it out and be inspired!
