Beeutiful Table

When I leased the lobby space at the Head House I knew I wanted to put a round table there and share some of my most favorite tablescapes. Honeycomb depression glass bowls, vintage sugar and creamer and cut glass goblets were a must for the table.

A began with bees of course, since that's the "mascot" if you will of Beeutiful by Design. These wonderful bee hive towels and bee towels by Mary Lake Thompson and bee and teapot napkins were the perfect additions.

I layered yellow terra cotta rimmed plates, on purple round placemats on a black and white toile tablecloth. I like the punch of purple between the yellow and black & white.

Now as you reach the 2nd floor of Head House a cherry table is waiting to greet you!

I'm joining Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch!

Spectator Spectacular

Ever since I opened the store, I've used black and white

as a color template for some sort of display.


It just seems to be season less and neutral.

I love these seafood forks I just got in - not for seafood,

but rather to serve appetizers, olives and other "bits" on platters.

This cookie jar would make a great

business card holder

for your desk.
Also, see the napkin ring at the bottom left of the picture?

These are new and are adorable kitties!

A black and white fabric lined basket filled with flowers.

Even your day to day correspondence can add a flair

with these black and white pens.

This wine rack seemed open and empty so

I filled it with small black & white gift bags.

And miniature teapot place card holders from Crane.

I added a few serving pieces in basket weave,

which would make great "go to" pieces for your next buffet.

I'm joining Tabletop Tuesday & White Wednesday

and hope you will visit them too!
