The flowers are from my best friend Mary for my Surprise Birthday Party yesterday......The vase for the flowers, a birthday gift from a gift certificate from my sister Bobbie....
I Love the Metal Cloche, a birthday present from my sister Bobbie ..... The cloche and the white trophy vase are both from Home Goods.... The pumpkin nametags are from TJ Max
Thanks Susan@http://betweenhapsontheporch.blogspot.com/
for the wonderful tip on these great glasses, love them, from the Dollar Tree.
I lo
ve t
he detail and they are heavy..
ve t
he detail and they are heavy..Frosted pound cake... YUM!!!
Orange and white plates are from Pottery Barn .....
I am getting hungry now.....
It looks like Tina is watching from the wall....
I just love this white vase that looks like a trophy, I think I will use it for Christmas as well.. I couldn't wait to use some of my birthday presents for today's tablescape...
Not sure what the baskets were for, they are from Marshals, years ago and I thought they looked like a silverware and napkin holder to me...for today anyway...
It was hard to get a good shot of the cake, I hope this one is clearer, love that cake...
I will be using more of the wonderful birthday gifts in future tablescapes......
I just had to share with you a picture of my surprise birthday cake from yesterday because
I loved my beautiful cake made by my daughter Gina, the invitations for the party were by my daughter Michelle ....They both worked so hard along with their families. The decorations, the balloons, everything was just perfect. Flowers were provided by my friend Mary. A festive Mexican buffet was just the most delicious spread. The day was a great one.....and to all my friends and family who helped to make this a special day, Thank you so much.....It was the best birthday ever... and to you my wonderful husband Michael, ...for orchestrating the surprise party, you are the love of my life and you never stop amazing me...... Thank you for a great surprise and a day I will never forget... WOW WAS I SURPRISED!!!!!!!
Thank you to Susan@betweennapsontheporch for hosting Tablescape Thursday...
Please feel free to leave a comment because I enjoy reading each and every one and thank you for hanging AROUND THE HOUSE...
What a beautiful table. I don't have a cloche, but I'm looking for one now of course. The metal one is so unique. That cake is amazing...it is real isn't it? One can never be sure when visiting you! Happy Birthday...I have one in a few days myself.

ReplyDeleteI really love this tablescape. I am particularly admiring the 2 cloches you have-I hadn't really seen cloches until I started visiting lots of American blogs and now I love them. I think I might have to look out for some over here in Australia.
