Don't forget to turn your music up there are a couple of songs that may be familiar......
Well, it's that time of year again, sunshine, popcorn, peanuts, carmel corn and cherry cokes, what could be better than BASEBALL.....
This tablescape was inspired by these wonderful salt and pepper shakers, then of course these small baseball salad plates that were found later....both are from Marshals....
YUMMY popcorn......The coke glasses are from Dollar Tree....
The napkin rings are rubber balls from the Dollar store......Mr. S. was nice enough to drill large holes in them for my napkins.....the place card stands are tiny rubber balls from the party store that I cut a slit into for the name tags....the tags I drew and cut out from a brown paper bag...I'm sure you all remember the green astro turf from the Easter setting, I love the way the cut out areas make you think of bases, especially with the wooden chargers......
The small popcorn maker was a great find from my friend Mary, she discovered it is a tiny little thrift shop, 3.99 what a deal and it actually works......I thought I might even use it for movie night .....
The napkins are from Christmas and fit just right with all the red white and blue.....
You knew you would be seeing this bicycle again and doesn't it just seem just right for the season....I have to finish this post so Mr. S. can eat all the peanuts, and carmel corn....
You gotta have a little candy and of course Baby Ruth what else, maybe a few suckers.....
Tina was not interested in the whole setting up thing, I think she sees the fluffy gray cat outside and has to visit for awhile....She does love this windowseat......
Enjoy the pictures and I hope they bring back some fun old memories for you too....
This was such a fun tablescape to do, I really wanted the table to be a salute to the game.....
I hope you all enjoyed yourself and maybe got some creative ideas for a tablescape of your own. .......now LETS PLAY BALL.......
Thank you Susan between naps on the porch for hosting Tablescape Thursday...... Phyllis
Tis darling! You did a great job and like the color theme.

OMG! This is one of my favorite tablescapes ever!! So different and creative. I'm going to steal your ideas! LOL I did see the salt and pepper shakers and plates and told my sister I was going to do a baseball tablescape but I couldn't think of how to pull it off. Leave it to do a great job!
ReplyDeleteI love Tina! That picture in your heading always makes me smile.
Hugs,
Joanne
Phyllis, as usual you have produced a wonderful table. I would just love to come to America and go to a baseball game. I can feel the atmosphere when I see it on the telly.
ReplyDeleteGreat job,
Suzyq
Now THIS is a FUN tablescape! My boys would have loved this when they were younger...and probably even today. The sound accompanying it is perfect! You know...even my 91 yr old mom (who is watching the Tampa Bay Rays game as I write) would get a big kick out of this. Well done...very creative!!!
ReplyDeleteJane (Artfully graced)
You always have the most creative tablescapes. I love, love, love this one. It's fabulous. You don't miss anything.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post. Adding popcorn to any tablescape gets my vote. What a cute tablescape with all the red and white. Creative napkin rings. It is great to have a man around the house..lol Love this post. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm not even a big baseball fan, but I think this table has converted me! This has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen. I love all the attention to detail you've put into this table. The "grass", the peanuts, popcorn, and crackerjacks...it's all perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat balls of fire...this is a WONDERFUL table. The cutest thing!! You are so good at this..all your tables are precious. I can see that this one took some time to pull off ..and you did a great job.!
ReplyDeletexo bj
Wow Wow Wow! You are genius... Creatively done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling, clever table! I spotted those baseballs holding the napkins right away and thought, "Where on earth did she find THOSE??" Then I read about your sweet hubby drilling holes in rubber balls for you! Now THAT is attention to detail! You really hit a homerun with this table! And now I'm craving Cracker Jacks at 5:15 a.m.!
ReplyDeleteMy Kinda party~! pass the popcorn and I'll grab my red white and blue pom poms and Cheer~!!!
ReplyDeleteSonny
Love it and my daughter is at the College World Series right now. Boomer Sooner.
ReplyDeleteHow fun and creative....what great ideas for the napkin rings and placecards and the red bike and the popcorn machine is a perfect compliment.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! It is just so adorable! So many details!
ReplyDeleteDonna
What a fun table. Just found your blog. Plan to visit again when I can sit for awhile and enjoy.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing for such a cute tablescape, Phyllis. Loved the napkin rings...so creative. Love the Patriotic feel too with the flags. Nothing more American than baseball.
ReplyDeleteHi Phyllis!! Oh, you're marvelous! I love your table and you haven't left out a thing!! Love that little bike. I have the same popcorn popper and never in a million years would have thought of using it with a tablescape! It's precious! You are just too good. I always smile when I come to see you - that painting of the kitty peeping over the frame makes me think he's spying on you! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
This is one of the most fun and creative and vivid tablescapes ever! How All American!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the baseballs, Baby Ruths, the BICYCLE....ALL of it works together WONDERFULLY!!!
FANTASTIC JOB!!!
Hugs,
Lana
What a FUN table! Your attention to detail is just amazing. I enjoyed every little detail of this, including the song.
ReplyDeletePure, unadulterated FUN! Love all the pops of patriotic color and your admirable attention to even the tiniest detail. Your photographs are wonderfully crisp and clear. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteBill
Wonderful tablescape. So such fun. Would be a great table for a little boy (or a big boy) birthday party.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful tablescape. It's a real "feel good" kind of setting that makes me think of summertime past. Thanks for bringing back such nice memories.
ReplyDeletePhyllis, this table is the cutest. Makes me wish I could be sitting at a ballgame. Thanks for making me smile!
ReplyDeleteYour table is simply magnificent. I can see all the thought that went into it.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your table stopped me in my tracks! Thanks for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteMany Blessings,
Melissa
This is absolutely the All-American summer tablescape! You ar a kid at heart. Love the bike.
ReplyDeleteThis is really, REALLY Cute!!! Love all the details - the Baby Ruth candy, the bats, the bike, ETC!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Katherine
OMG...this is the cutest tablescape EVER!!! You've got all the requisite 'baseball foods'; peanuts, popcorn, Cracker Jack!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that teeny popcorn maker---$3.99!! That price can't be beat!
Definitely an all-American tablescape - from the baseballs to the flags - all in the details. You chose the perfect napkins to coordinate with the baseballs.
ReplyDeleteAll the Best,
Requi
Wow! You know, all of your tables are always great, but this one is a knock-out! (Ha ha- totally didn't mean to make a pun there!)Right out of the park, indeed!
ReplyDelete- Meg
Phyllis- Who's On First... This is the best tribute to the game of baseball and the boys of summer! What a fantastic table!
ReplyDeleteYour attention to detail is a homerun! I love the ball napkin holders, and the popcorn boxes (my favorite food)!
I love the astroturf and the wooden chargers that look like bases. You really did the most spectacular job!
The baseball caps look like they have been casually tossed on the table by the players themselves. Adorable! I'm just waiting for the food vender to come by.
This table is a perfect game, a shut out, a grand slam!!!
Yvonne
Wonderful! I am a Tablescaper "wannabe". I have a long way to go but so enjoy looking at the wonderful offerings out there. I LOVE that cat artwork on your wall. It brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteWe live in an area with two major baseball teams (White Sox and Cubs) so it's always interesting during the season.
Best,
Bonnie
Phyllis, this table setting is so much fun. I love all of the little details. This was even more fun than a real baseball game. (And, not outside in all that brutal heat.)
ReplyDeleteFun, Fun, fun! Full of great details and so creative! I love it!
ReplyDeleteDee Dee
OH MY WORD< HOW CUTE!!!! My daughter is mildly Autistic and she is CRAZY over baseball and she went berserk and now wants a table setting like this for her hope chest. She's 26 and I'm hoping she'll find someone who is as crazy over baseball as she is or he'll just be miserable. Thanx for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning my Dear friend...Girl you never disappoint me my friend...Again you "Hit it out of the ball Park" with this beautiful table...you did not forget a thing...WOW!! I'm still waiting for my autograph signed book..No really you need to do that my sweet friend...I would even help sell them for you...
ReplyDeleteRight now to the music you thought of it all...I salute you once again BRAVO!! can you tell I'm your biggest fan ha ha!!
I hope you have a GREAT and restful weekend girl...take care of your hands...Hugs and love my friend...Gl♥ria
I LOVE this table!!! I am a huge baseball fan and even my british husband has become addicted to it. You may start a baseball trend across American tables! You didn't say if you have a favorite team. We are Cubs fans (I know, I know-someday!!). I'll have to work on a "Cubs" table with our memorabilia...thanks for the inspiration. It's adorable!!
ReplyDeleteWow Phyllis,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great fun table...my three sons would love this!! All their favorites all on one table. I'm going to have to do a variaition of this for them! Thanks for sharing!!!
Miss Bloomers
How lovely! I got inspired! Tampa Screen Enclosures
ReplyDeleteYOU do the most fantastic job I have ever seen! What an inspiration you are! Problem. I can't get my beautiful new red and white bike up onto my table and I don't have an adorable little one like that..so...I can't copy you! OH NO! :)
ReplyDeleteYour whole tablescape is just adorable!
Hello! I haven't visited in quite a while, and what a treat to see these gorgeous tablescapes. Your porch looks so inviting and pretty and I also LOVE that little mini bike! So adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Happy 4th!
Best regards,
Gloria
This is perfectly darlin'! You have not left out one detail. Love the bike, the cracker jacks and Babe Ruth bars. The dishes are darling! This is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteI think you are one of the most creative people I know! This is GENIUS!!!!! The napkin "rings" and place card holders are brilliant ideas! I love it all and am SO GLAD I didn't miss this! You are so lucky that your hubby supports this endeavor of yours and even HELPS out! That is terrific! May I ask in what state do you live? I may have to come visit!!!:):) XO, Pinky
