Think PINK Party for Breast Cancer

Recently I held a fundraiser, "Think PINK Party" for the Susan G Komen Foundation in honor of a friend and neighbor battling breast cancer. You could use this same idea for any Spring Celebration.

Using the simple, basic products makes doing a theme party so easy and fun. By simply changing the colors of flowers, linens, and even food, I could incorporate a beautiful theme for this special occasion.








A FUN day and all for a GREAT cause! Enjoy your Spring and sharing your home with family and friends!

Winter Wonderland Table Setting

LOVE simple white or creme dinnerware... so versatile! Here I created a winter wonderland tablescape using pottery and pops of icy blue.

Spring Themes - Think "Green"

There are so many theme ideas for Springtime that are beautiful. Here is one that may be a little different than you might typically think for Spring... a "green theme" with natural colors and textures. I recently participated in our area Presbyterian Women's Dinner and Event and decided to decorate our table using this theme.

Idea:
* use "natural elements and colors. Spring doesn't have to mean pastels!
* turn placemats on a diagonal
* Has anyone heard me say height is important to creating a beautiful table... hmmm... Hurricane on top of cakestand and used it as a vase for "natural seasonal centerpiece" - pussywillow.
* be creative with napkin rings. Here we were giving each guest a gift. I chose a cross that incorporated my natural theme with iron and stonelike cross.
* add "sparkle" with touch that reflect theme. Here I chose moss, river rock, birdsnests, and vine balls.
* tuck battery operated candles under moss in votives... again lighting created ambiance!

Let me know what you think...
