Tree Frog Table For One

Every once in a while, Pat pulls something off one of my shelves and comes up with some really fun and unique tablescapes. That's what happened today. I challenged her to set a table using a placemat that we have had for a very long time, and in less that ten minutes, she had most of the table together. Her inspiration? It wasn't the placemat. It was:


Donald

The place setting

Flatware is "Silver Tear" by Gourmet Settings

Pat used bright colors - Shamrock and Peacock Fiesta

This is the placemat that I challenged Pat with

This very unusual handmade votive holder was a gift to Pat

Pat found matching napkin rings at Bed, Bath, and Beyond

Pat used a green candle on this side of Donald to balance the table

I heard Pat washing something in the sink this morning. She found these rocks in one of my garden beds (table décor can come from anywhere.....)
