Are you starting to get into the spirit of the holidays? If not, I think some of these pictures will help :).
If you missed my last post on Sunday, you may want to click here. (Since there were too many pictures to put in one post, I thought I’d divide them up a bit.)
Although most of the tables had a holiday or ‘grown up’ theme, not all did. What do you think about this circus themed table? Pretty elaborate, especially with the added canopy!
This next table garnered a LOT of attention, and it was well deserved. Of course, you wouldn’t be able to sit down at this table, but I suppose that’s a minor detail ;).
Sweet little birds were placed strategically through out the branches, and I really liked the combination of natural and glamorous touches, but I’ll be perfectly honest and say I’m including this because I just love this picture!
Here’s a cute little table set for a young lady’s birthday celebration. I don’t know about you, but I would much rather have three small cakes with different fillings than one big one! Let’s see…maybe cannoli filling in one, chocolate mousse in another and coconut/lemon in the third. Yup, that would pretty much be heaven for me!
This next table was another crowd favorite. Everyone, including me, seemed to be fascinated with the centerpiece. It’s really quite simple to make, using plastic, glittery beads, adhesive and LED lights. If you stay tuned, I think I may be able to show you a diy version soon. π
And isn’t this clever? A complete table showcasing various napkin folds. There must have been at least 50!
I showed this table in my previous post, but forgot to include this shot of the front of it. If you look closely, you’ll notice those are ladles wrapped around the ends of the ribbon in various heights. Very cool!
Do you have a favorite?
In other news…
I think my site was down for a good part of the day. I tried to log in around 3 to write this post, and it wouldn’t load up on the back end or the front end. I contacted hostgator and after chatting for 30 minutes (and that’s AFTER a 30 minute wait time) they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. As soon as we ended our chat, the site was working! They wrote a ‘ticket’ and said an administrator would contact me, but so far no one has. Good thing the site is up and running because if I had to wait for them to figure it out I’d still be waiting. It’s making me wonder if I want to stay with Hostgator. Who host’s your site? Have you been satisfied?

I love the one with the little led lights in the flowers. I have some on my list to buy. I want a few more twinkle lights around the house for the holidays! I’m a blog spot and write on my posts using Windows Live Writer. That has worked with for me. Hugs, Diane

Your pictures really inspire me! So sorry to hear about your site being down. I actually had a hard time visiting a few sites yesterday!

Big sigh and how does one pick a favorite, it’s like window shopping galore. I will click over to Sunday’s post now too.
I use Bluehost and customer service is hard to reach now as compared to before.

I loved the circus tableββvery whimsical! I also enjoyed the table with the bird’s nest. Very interesting and artistic tablescapes. Art is definitely above practicality. π

Although those mini cakes are adorable, (are they also edible?), I’d be too tempted to eat all three, especially if they were filled with a coconut/lemon concoction, and I’d be staring at them the entire time, so even though I think this is the most beautiful table, I believe that the circus themed one is the most creative! And guess what? For some reason, I can imagine one of my favourite protagonists sitting under its canopy and getting into trouble – that Curious George – he sure gave the Man with the Yellow hat a hard time, didn’t he?
Hope all is quiet on the HouseHoney front again. My host is the country’s biggest and oldest telecommunications company since it has the strongest signal, and serves every other company, too.
Happy weekend to you, my friend!

Those tables are all so impressive and interesting. I bet that was such a fun thing to do. The one with the branches and birds was so neat, but not being able to move the chairs wasn’t so bright, huh? I don’t think those table settings were meant to be practical. LOL!
Jenna says
Wow!! What fun! I don’t know which I’d choose as my favorite!
Dewena says
Someone hosts my site? See, I don’t even know the language.
On to tables: I know one idea I’m going to copy–all I need is one magnificent bloom in a teacup for a table for 2 maybe.
And the silver ladles used to tie down those gorgeous wide ribbons! Love that! I only have 4 so it would be a small table.
Bev says
So creative and pretty…love all of them

wow, lots of eye candy! I love the one with the twig chair backs. But then, I have a bit of a bird fetish. The three little cakes were just precious. Thanks for sharing them with us Doreen!
hugs,

Oh, good grief, Doreen!!!!! I LOVE that canopied table!!! What a great idea! I am pinning that for future use outdoors!!! I don’t care what it costs, SOMEBODY is having a dinner that includes a canopied table like that!!!!! π
I would gladly sit at any of these tables, even the one that you really can’t sit at because the way the branch canopy is situated. I’d figure out a way! What a glorious presentation! Every table had a unique feature that was an eye catcher. The ladles (at first I thought it said “ladies” and thought…whoa, that’s kinda 50 Shades of Gray! π ) , were really a cool thing! What a neat way to dress up a buffet table!!!
Thanks SO MUCH for sharing these tablescapes with us! I know the ladies there enjoyed the fun!!!
