White Foodie and Flashback Friday..

The theme for Gollums Foodie Friday was white food...

This is almost all white, a Trifle made with blueberries, white cake, pudding and whipped cream...I was bringing it to a friend, so I used a glass bowl instead of my Trifle bowl which isn't car friendly!







And flashing back..white potato skins baked with cheese and bacon as an appy..



Coming soon....
What's in the Bags.....a shopping spree...



Thanks for visiting, please go see Gollum for more Foodie entries, and Suzy for Flashback Friday!

Tablescape Thursday...

Another Thursday..another table....



I found these napkins at a neighbor's yard sale..they are from Wm Sonoma, and are in great shape.




I got 8 for $2.00...When I saw the Lily on them, I knew I could use lilies from my garden for the centerpiece.



Hmmm..now what else can I use, I asked, scratching my head....



The napkins look tropical, so how about those leaf placemats from WmSonoma outlet...



Green straw like napkin rings, white square plate and bowl...green stems..





Monkey place cards holders..and since I am doing tropical, Tarzan and Jane were the guests..:)







To go with the tropical theme...



Turned into Banana Choc Chip Crumb Loaf...



Please visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch...a beautiful blog, and check out the other tablesettings....

Thanks so much for spending some time here!
BTW, I got a few emails saying they would be interested in doing another WHITE table theme..how about with a twist added.
white dishes, and ONE other color ( not counting silverware, silver accents, etc)
let me know if you are interested, and maybe the end of July? we could do it...??)

Outdoor Wednesday...A few bloomers

It has been chilly and rainy here in NY for days....But I do have some blooms to show...

Yellow St. John's wort, with some Baby's breath..



Some Lilies ready to pop..





A rose bush I got it for free when the Open closed here at Shinnecock a few years ago...



An ivy geranium on the porch..

Let There Be White!! Tablesettings N' More..

Summer.... time to put on your whites!
Doesn't feel much like summer here on Long Island in N.Y. We have had lots of rain and not such summery temps.

But maybe if we put out WHITE dishes, Summer will feel more inclined to stay, and the sun will shine...

So many of us have the Gibson white dishes..
Gollum got hers at Big Lots at a great price..
I got mine a few years ago at LinensN'Things, with a coupon of course..

But I figured many of you would "wear" them to this little party, so I would show something else...

As I was thinking about what to use, I came across this pretty white server. It has vegetables on it, can you see? The cover has a pea pod.. Great to keep critters out when serving outdoors..



My dear friend, Anne, gave it to me...May I ask of those who are so inclined to please say a prayer for her? She is fighting for her life...thank you!

I came across this bowl with vegetables, this cabbage leaf bowl, and my soup tureen..No room to use all those on my table for 4...so another time for them!





My friend Tam, I have known her for years from the Holidays forum on GW is hosting Three or more Tuesday ..so I am joining her party too...
Please go to see her entries too, as she did a white setting for this party! :)


The dishes I used are from Pier One..great deal on them a few years ago..75% off..called Tropical Wave..they are bowl like, so great for dinner salads or pasta...



I used my Mikassa chargers, as they have a little shell on them...



A white to the floor cloth with a cut work over lay.. matching napkins with a sprig of Baby's breath..








Waterford Lismore glasses, Waterford pitcher...





silverware by Dansk...



Indiv butter dishes....Italian glass votive holders...star mirrors from Pottery Barn outlet.



card holders are polished shells , and white alabaster napkin rings, also from PB outlet..as are the Apilco Lion head covered soup bowls...





Not much blooming for cut flowers, a couple of white hydrangeas have opened up and some Baby's breath..so I used it for my centerpiece...







In white porcelain shells.., baked clams..



And white L.I. Clam Chowder for our soup



Some shrimp with WHITE wine sauce over pasta for dinner...



And on a WHITE cake dish, a fresh blueberry crumb pie...



Thank you so much for coming to this little party, please be sure to visit the other blogs..I am sure it will be de "WHITE" ful!!

If you are joining the party, please do your post, then copy and paste the link to Mr. Linky!

Cloche Party, Foodie Friday and Flashback Friday

I am joining Marty at a Stroll through Life for her Cloche Party, Gollum for Foodie Friday and Suzy at Kitchen Bouquets for Flashback Friday...
Whew...
Well, there must be a trick to taking a pic of a cloche, and I don't know it! I think they look distorted..up too close maybe..
Well, I am not missing the party, so here goes...

This is what I usually keep under my cloche, all year round..the Holy Family music box..



Then I tried a little one I have, and used a mini teapot and creamer sent to be by Cathy, a forum friend, aka Catie Cupcake...I have drapes like that pattern in my dining room, so she was sweet enough to send it to me..:)




And some strawberries..



From the past..

Stacked hearts..


And from the Fall, some sitting crows under glass..:)


Please go check out the Cloche Party at Marty's..

And for Foodie Friday with Gollum...and Flashback with Suzy...

Since Sunday is Father's Day .. how about some stacked filled pancakes..molds from WmSonoma,



or Abelskivers with apples and cream..also from WmSonoma..the outlet of course..


They are little round pancakes done in a special pan, served with sauteed apples, and a dollop of whipped cream...
A special breakfast for a special dad...

Don't forget the Let There Be White tablesetting event on the 23rd. Mr Linky will be up on Tues....white dishes, white tablecloth, flowers, food, one, all , go for it! :)
