I thought you would enjoy seeing four more photos from Kimberly's book, Tablescapes (Gibbs-Smith). I know Mom of a German Shorthair will love these pheasant plates.
This tablescape whispers that spring can't be far behind.
What a delightful idea for a tablescape!
I am so ready for green!
I love this napkin ring. I'm wondering if I could make napkin rings from little stained glass "light catchers."
I'm still slogging away, but should be back posting regularly soon.
Hello Gollum, congrats on the babies, how lucky you are to experience such things down on the farm :). I am the proud owner of Kimberlys book and I love the butterfly rings and insect plates, so much inspiration, thank you for the recommendatios, happy to read that the slogging will be over soon for your sake and for ours, we miss you, hugs, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteLove the unexpected moss covered table and all of the textures and colors. Very inspirational. Congrats on the babies, how cute they must be!
ReplyDeleteLove your tablescape today! Congrats on the babies! I'm commenting and looking at your Quick appetizers post for the hungry and the frazzled at the same time...how yummy! ;) ~CC Catherine
ReplyDeletelove them all, take your time, but you are missed...vickydarnell
ReplyDeleteI havae to go buy this book! Was there any information on those pheasant plates? And the pewter chargers ..... heaven.
ReplyDeleteI'm so going to steal (uh, borrow) that idea of a moss covered table. I'm doing a ladies luncheon in a week. I do believe that the buffet table will be moss covered! Thanks for sharing all of these pics!
Glad the slogging is going well! We all miss you!

ReplyDelete*****"Oh, be still my foolish heart"! And you are SO right, GG~~~ I ADORE those to-die-for pheasant plates (DEFINITELY "LOVE at FIRST SIGHT!")...annnnd, the old chargers (what CHARACHTER!), annnnd ALL the tables in general annnndddd....well, EVERYTHING is just too fabulous for words! (This gal has beauuuutiful "goodies"!)~~~ Jim's OOT (out of town), so I've been playing w/ table-settings for two days (BFF & her DH visiting soon, for 4 days!) & I thought they looked nice UNTIL I saw these. BUT, it's been fun messing up the dish pantry, etc! Many THANKS & CONGRATS on the babies, too!!! XOXOXOX, Linda
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful. Not sure about feeding Mr. Man on Moss! The butterfly napkin holder is too sweet and love the colors.
ReplyDeleteRoberta Anne
Wow, what an amazing talent she has. Love those butterfly napkin rings too!
ReplyDeleteHope your revisions are going well. You've gotta come back to us some time soon!
Justine :o )
Thanks for sharing the beautiful eye candy! ♥ Diane
ReplyDeleteMichael's has in some butterflies for spring that look very similar to these...although they're not as blinged up, so they're not as ornate. Something could probably be done about that though! :O) A beautiful table. Have you visited this Austrailian blog?

There's a cool centerpiece & lots of eye candy.
These are beautiful photos! I'm going to try copying a tablescape from the book, for a post. It's fun going back again and again, seeing what I missed the first and second, etc...times.
ReplyDeleteLoving the napkin ring! Oh it looks so beautiful.Kathy
ReplyDeleteThe tablescapes are beautiful, but your "Quick Appetizers" are REALLY beautiful and delicious looking. Where there's a will, there's a way. I know you can come up with a solution to turning light catchers in to napkin rings.
ReplyDeleteI gotta say, moss on a table has never appealed to me. Am I the only one? How would you keep the dishes, flatware, napkins etc. clean? I'm with you, I'm so ready for spring.
just gorgeous! i just saw a moss place setting this weekend, it was magical~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Beautiful Beautiful
ReplyDeleteI have tears in my eyes.Such an artist. I just love dishes,but I know that I am not an artist.She has the gift.
I just love those pheasant plates and the moss table what a great spring idea. You share such wonderful things so it is always a pleasure to stop here :-)
ReplyDeleteEvening, Dear Gollum. Hope the book writing is going well. Your fans are waiting in anticipation!! I love this book and the last photo is just so beautiful to me. I love the green underplate and the sweet little dessert plate. Sure you could make that napkin ring. Remember, you can do everything!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
shelia :)

We are in Fl. visiting and it is COLD...going into the 20's tonight!!!! BRRR...this has helped my mood tremendously!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us! Hugs, Pinky
ReplyDeleteYou know me, I love the nature setting. I have the birds, the moss and I have a squirrel so I could pull that one off. That would be cute out in the porch. Hope things are going well for you. ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteHi Michael...you might want to put the link to this post into Mr. Linky for Tablescape Thursday...it's up and ready if you want to add it. Thanks for posting some more pics from her book...I need to get it! :-) Susan

ReplyDeleteYeah! You have babies! I am going to find me a lamb soon. I love you sharing this book, I love the birds so so much! I think I will go out and pick willow branches and make a bird cage.
