Welcome to my 100th post!
The sign above was made by my friend Kay, from the Holidays Forum at Garden Web. It is the gals there who taught me how to post pics, and that is was ok to admit to liking dishes, and napkins and glasses..oh my!
It's also Tablescape Thursday. I am a late entry. I threw my back out Mon. lifting something, and I have been pretty much out of commission...
Please visit Susan's Between Naps on the Porch to see the other entries..
I did a slide show of some of the tables I've done..but I can't get it onto the blog...
So for now I'll just pick one..if I figure out how to do it I will add it...
This is the first table I ever photographed. Someone on Holidays posted an inspiration pic, and I tried to duplicate it. I only took ONE pic!
Silver chargers are Noritake, china is Lovelace, my mom's glass fruit bowls, white cloth and napkins..Baby's Breath in antique champagne glasses. I believe the insp pic was a rehearsal dinner, so wrapped gifts at each plate..Stem by Dansk...a very simple table..
I got these molds at a yard sale recently. The tall one, I was told, was a jello mold. But I don't make jello often, so I made a cake.
Before....
After....
Whipped cream icing and fresh blueberries, white cake...
So Happy................................................................
Birthday to Mike! You really didn't think I made a cake for my 100th post do you??:)
And since it took me so long to get this done, I am using it for Foodie Friday too!
Please join Gollum at Designs by Gollum to see the other entries...
Thanks for celebrating with me..:) hope I can make it to 200 without running out of thoughts!
Don't forget Debbie's BBQ event this weekend...and the SHOW ME YOUR WHITE event, JUNE 23rd! I'd love to have you join in..
Happy 100th Kathleen! :-) That is one cool cake. Did Mike love it? Hope your back is feeling better quick.
ReplyDeleteCool idea to use the Jell-o mold as a cake pan. Did it take a long time to bake? I love how it turned out. My back was out not too long ago - so I can sympathize with you. I hope your feeling well. ~ Robyn

Happy Foodie Friday! Have a great weekend ~ Susan
ReplyDeleteHappy 100th fellow sufferer! I do hope that you feel better soon. I love the table photo, it so very pretty. The cake is stupendous. I had no idea you could bake with a jello mold either. As usual, once again I am impressed.
ReplyDeleteHoly moly... 100 posts? I am in awe. I will surely run out of things to talk about or snap pictures of before then... unless I rely on Dion to keep misbehaving!
ReplyDeleteLovely serene and elegant tablescape -- no crumpled brown paper bags there! And the cake is stunning! Wow ... very creative. It looks as if it came from a ritzy bakery!
Thanks for sharing... and when you are on the North Fork, look for us in Southold!

ReplyDeleteWow! Kathleen! What a gorgeous cake! And it looks so yummy! I love that tall mold! And congrats on making it to 100...quite an accomplishment! I laughed at your teaher remark. It doesn't go away, does it? I still make my stern teacher face at children running in the grocery store! Do you? lol Have a great weekend...Debbie
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on post 100. Yes, I will be attending your Let There Be White party. I just got a pretty white tablecloth at a yard sale today for my little bistro table on my porch. It's starting to come together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dream, dream, DREAM of a blueberry cake. It makes my heart sing. I am so sorry about your back. I have a touchy one, myself, and I'm resting on a heating pad tonight (farm chores and hanging a mirror). The tablescape is heavenly. Looking forward to your party.

Kathleen - Congratulations on your 100th post! Your blog is such a delight, I'm looking forward to the next 100. I feel your back pain. I've been done in by the gardens. I think it was one too many turns of the pitch fork! Hope you're on the mend...Nancy
