    How could I resist the post title?
    This is so pretty - just the sight for these eyes that have seen little in the past weeks but grey skies and rain.

    You have one of the best dressed little round tables around :o)
    I love the little bloom too (it reminds of the Bird of Paradise or the Haleconia flowers in Hawaii....kind of like a cousin to them by the shape)

    Blessings & Aloha!

    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.

    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+
