table settings


I have Spring Fever to the max! The other day I thought it'd be fun to set my table for once. I went with a green chic look. I love the flowery place mats with the xmas green chargers. The flowers were a hostess gift from my Mom-in-Law from the dinner the night before. We had them over for Howards Pizza. Mmmm. I bought the vase for $1 at an Augusta estate sale(woot). And the water pitcher was my Grandma Virgina's. I actually have a few really cool pieces that were hers and I should post about them sometime for sure. Whenever I set a table I have a flashback to the summers when I'd stay at my Grandma and Grandpa's house. I had so much fun setting the table for every meal. My Grandma was the queen of table settings. She had two hutch's full of different napkins, centerpieces, dishes, silverware, serving pieces, etc. etc. She really did have it goin' on!
