It's another soggy day, but all is warm and welcoming over at Between Naps On The Porch for this week's Tablescape Thursday. Join us with your very own tablescape.
Ducks are often the fall guys in the animal kingdom:
bad weather - nice weather for ducks
powerlessness - lame duck
bad hair styles - ducktail
tasks that require no effort - duck soup
funny gait - duck walk
obliviousness - like water off a duck's back
final indignity, inglorious death - dead duck
when ducks triumph, it is only by chance, not skill - lucky duck
youthful gawkiness - (promise, turns out to be unfounded since the "duck" is a swan) - ugly duckling
This poor duck is so wet he's taken to wearing rain gear this year during our monsoons!
Vintage tablecloth with Post 86 Fiesta in Periwinkle, Chartreuse, Tangerine and Turquoise. Licensed Fiesta glassware, Cityscape flatware, and Metlox Poppytrail Spiral candle holders.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to see my cute duck. He's a favorite that I got several years ago at ... can you believe it... Ace Hardware! We have the most amazing local Ace with a great housewares department with all the old timey gadgets and new fangled baking stuff and cute ducks and stuff! He's a keeper!
We are having some sunshine again, so I'm making some progress on pruning my roses and thinking thoughts of Spring!
Very festive and cheery on a cold, wet winter day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynda! We had a sunny weekend, but the rain will be returning again in a couple of days. I'm so ready for Spring!
ReplyDeleteHi: Love your tablescape. It is so colorful and full of life. I especially love the red shoes. What a wonderful idea. Will be back soon. Cheers, Lia
ReplyDeleteTahnks Lia, those little ceramic shoes came from the San Francisco Flower Show a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteYour tables are always a splash(LOL)! This one especially. Love the duck, love the clogs. Where do you get all of your lovely vintage tablecloths?...they always look in perfect condition and vibrant. Beautiful table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucky!
ReplyDeleteMany of them come from eBay, but flea markets and some antique malls are also good sources!
Thanks for your lovely comments, I am glad you enjoy the tables. :-)
