Shades of Pink Tablescape

 These beautiful silk roses with dark brown

French script caught my eye and inspired this pink

table.  I think I am just wishing for warm

weather as we got blanketed with snow

this week!

The pink mercury glass also jumped right into

my shopping cart as I was treasure hunting

at Home Goods this week.  I thought the

two of them went so well together and they

immediately had a place on my kitchen counter.

I created this pink confection to go along with the silk

roses and mercury glass.

Pink and white layers starting with a jeweled charger

and topped with a beaded napkin ring make up today's table.

My aunt's pink depression ware glasses in two sizes

seemed perfect with the roses.  

The table has a romantic old fashioned feel with

a modern edge to it.  The French script roses give

it that updated feel.

I chose my Old Maryland Engraved sterling that I

received for my wedding.  My parents felt that everyone

should own sterling, so they gave us four place settings

when we married and an additional one each year for

Christmas until we had a set of 12.  I am so glad they did.

A little jeweled candle holder adds a fun

textural element to the center of the table.

This table is just so soft and romantic.

It sets me dreaming for warm and sunny

days in the rose garden.....

....but for now, the garden looks more like this!
