THE CATS MEOW

This post is for all of you out there who love animals, dogs, cats, birds, but especially cats, because these dishes are so perfect to be paired with the cat picture. Everyone comments on that picture and Tina my cat thinks it is her...As most of you know when my mom passed away a few years ago she left her cat Tina, since everyone in our family were dog people, as were we, we had two sheltie dogs, it was a dilemma. I went ahead and took Tina home and after a month or so she had the run of the house...

Of course you can use the smaller plates for salad or bread plates. I usually don't spread all the dishes out this way, it always kind of looks like they are for sale, you know how the antique stores lay every single piece of the china out on the table. This time I just wanted you to see the dinner plates, they are so cute...The dishes are from TJ Maxx and were on sale 2.00 each, what a deal...

Cupcakes for everyone, isn't she soooo cute....... Just a tiny touch of pale pink on kitties ears and on the top of the cupcakes.,,,,

The dessert dishes are depression glass and were purchased at Quartsite in Arizona a few years ago when we had a place at the Colorado River. We would drive there on Sundays about 10 miles from our river house and find wonderful treasures... They have the largest swapmeet in the world, people come from all over the world for 2 months out of the year, it is wild... The small juice glasses are depression glass as well and were my moms.....

Such sweet little juice glasses.....

These pictures were all taken in the daytime and I am going to attempt to do an evening shoot again, you know how I feel about it when it looks like you didn't pay the electric bill....

I have many many white napkins and decided to put a cats paw picture on four of them, to go with my cat table....downloaded on internet cats paws and copied a picture...drew it in pencil on each napkin and colored it in with laundry marker (black) they will wash up nicely....I even like the way the marker bled a little so it looks like cat fur, lol... I sure wish I had one of those sewing machines that you just touch the computer button and you can have those beautiful initial napkins, I'm dreamin.....









I loved the idea of cat paws walking on the tablecloth, so I cut out the shape from felt and laid them on the cloth, the felt is sticky back felt from Michaels and is very inexpensive. When you are finished, just peel it off.... I do think this would be a great idea for many creative fun little projects for your white tablecloths that won't damage them and can just be peeled off.....hummm I will be thinkin about that.,,,











No I haven't lit the candles yet, soon....

Hey, not to bad, I didn't turn the lights too dark. The candles add a nice little glow....

Tina is gonna love this, don't you think???? I love those cat paws on the tablecloth....

The napkin rings are Lennox and were purchased a couple of years ago.....

I think I will hold Tina up to the table to see it because as you all know she is a very well behaved cat, and she would never get on any tables...don't ask me why, maybe because she was raised with well mannered sheltie dogs and she behaves more like a dog....

I had fun doing this tablescape and (isn't that what it's all about) If you are an animal lover, a plate lover, or even a fun crafter, I am sure you will feel at home for this little luncheon....hope you enjoyed all the pictures as much as I enjoyed creating them.....

Thanks for stopping by and spending some time AROUND THE HOUSE, please leave a comment and let me know what you think....I read them all and love hearing from you...Thanks susan from @between naps on the porch for hosting Tablescape Thursday.....Phyllis
