I've had this California Hand Prints tablecloth on my "wish list" for a very long time. I just recently snapped this up for a fraction of what they normally bring, and I'm so pleased with its almost pristine condition! It was a true thrifty buy!

YOU are my readers and I thank YOU!

    This is so pretty - just the sight for these eyes that have seen little in the past weeks but grey skies and rain.

  20. Happy Birthday to Rebecca....Your table setting is absolutely beautiful. I was going to ask you where you got the beautiful tablecloths in your header and then was pleasantly surprised that you were giving information on tablecloths. Your dishes and everything are lovely. I wouldn't even want to have anything on my plates...or eat...I would simply love to sit there and admire the beauty on the table.
    Well done...lovely.

  44. What a fabulous color combination! When I opened the link I was thinking...okay, she's finally done it...she's finally put together a table that's not going to be glorious.

    Yeah. I was wrong.

    This was so happy. I totally adore this color combination. I can see it for a beach wedding...happy and sunny and unusual.

    Really, really lovely.

    Thanks for linking.

    A+
