Dishing it up / with Sharon Insul

Come sit with me for awhile . . .
and see what I’m bringing to the  table®

The tablescape below was featured at the Blind Children’s Center charity benefit this week. “I’m late, I’m late, I’m late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!” Contrary to Mr. White Rabbit’s thinking, it really is never to late! For those of you who did not see last weeks article you can play catch-up with Mr. Rabbit @ https://wp.me/p3E2rZ-5pJ

My collection of Alice in Wonderland candle holders happily danced around this flights of fancy themed table. While this was a daytime affair, lit candles were not only inappropriate but also not fire code acceptable. Yes, yes .   .   . of course I adhered to all of the no-no’s just mentioned .   .   . but .   .   . of course I had to put just a teeny-tiny, itsy-bitsy  piece of my two cents in and fill those holders with bright colored candles. No harm, no foul, just added color for pop, and fun.

Ahhh yes .   .   . a word or two about the vintage bird cage. While Mr. Rabbit ran the show, Alice and her crew danced around looking whimsical. Now in the bird cage a whole other dance was taking place. One needed to watch closely as the blue birds, red robins, yellow parakeets, etc. were busy taking flight to their own music.

Sometimes it’s the little ‘stuff’ that can make a big statement. Have a look below at one of the place settings. I marked each place setting with a large rose and green leaves made of french paper doilies in place of chargers. I used luncheon size garden floral motif napkins to work as a napkin ring tied with ivy pattern ribbon. To top off each service, I added bright glitter colored eggs on a stick for a pop!
