I am joining Susan for Tablescape Thursday…So nice of Susan to host this event to celebrate my blogaversary..LOL..
A whole year…:) who knew??
It has been fun..I got to meet many new friends, and got to keep up with the former DB’s..
So to celebrate..a little give away..
Some ROOSTER napkins, Mushroom place card holders, and Stack and Fill pancake molds all from WSonoma..and whatever else will fit…little surprises..but not Blondie’s ugly chicken! :)
How to enter? No, you don’t have to follow, or put up a button..NADA..
Leave a comment, and you are in…Winner will be announced Monday . I know some people don’t get around to visiting till the weekend, so I want to give them time..
Last year after Christmas, I bought some adorable Villeroy and Boch Christmas plates…
Since it is my youngest grandson’s 2nd birthday..a little young at heart table..
I love the scalloped edges and all the colors in the plates..
I used a green tablecloth and napkins.
For the centerpiece, I used this Villeroy and Boch stocking. It opens so you can fill it with cookies, and it matches the china.
I raised it on a cake pedestal and surrounded it with greenery..I should have taken the other side..it has beautiful details
I used a deep red square mat on an angle to pull out the red trim on the plate, and the boot..
Bee glasses
These Teddy bear ornaments are from Villeroy and Boch too..used them to hold the name cards..
And these little velvet stocking have the same colors..from WSonoma…I think they were marked down to 1.25..no kidding..
Please check out the other tables at Susan’s Between Naps on the Porch…
Thanks for coming to my little party….Have a piece of cake before you go..
Winner announced Monday..see you then!
Kathleen~~~
ReplyDeleteI will let you know that Ugly Rooster now belongs to Sue at Sullivan & Murphy...please do not associate me with that critter, he is loooong gone!!
I love your table. That is more than enough to make any child smile. I am just getting familiar with Villeroy & Boch and their pieces are beautiful, as is your boot!! The table is fabulous!!
I wanted to mention that I love your header picture. Aren't we lucky to get snow? ;-)

Don't listen to Blondie. I heart that rooster and I didn't get it. He was so cute.

Kathleen - I can't believe you are celebrating a year of blogging!! How fast that went and thinking back, what a busy time of year for you to have started a blog! You have done a great job though and I always enjoy stopping by to see the beauty you create on top of the table and the yummies that go on top of those dishes!
ReplyDeleteThis teddy bear 'scape with the fantastic stocking centerpiece is no exception! Yes, I'd love a piece of that cake too!

Happy bloggaversiry to you! This is so darling -- I did a children's table this week as well -- don't they make Christmas fun!
ReplyDeleteI want a piece with the frosting on the top! YUM!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty table. I'm thinking "Karen, do you really want to learn all about Villeroy and Boch?" It looks so pretty - and I have a feeling it would become ADDICTIVE! Oh my ! Not something new!
Well Happy blogaversary! My one year is coming up too! Can you believe it? The year just ZOOMED by!
Have a wonderful day and KEEP TRYING!!! :)
Karen
Milestones are so much fun...congratulations on yours. As soon as I saw it I thought Villeroy and Boch. When we were in Germany some years back, we saw quite a bit of it and I became a fan of their colorful, whimsical pieces. Your table is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSusan

ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaverary!!....and the tabe is cute but that cake....that is one gorgeous cake....and daughter wants to know why does the Christmas Tree shoppe have that name if they sell stuff besides Christmas tree stuff...I didn't have an answer...
ReplyDeleteKathleen, Happy Blogaversary from a "former DB". Although we were not "former DB" by choice, I'm very glad that you've continued with your blog. ... You are the S & S queen of bargains and tablescapes!
ReplyDeleteI love the Villeroy and Boch teddy bear plates and the gorgeous cookie jar. What an adorable table.
Hope the birthday boy has fun birthday ... I would LOVE a piece of that cake.
Oh Kathleen, what a darling tablescape. I LOVE it! Those VB teddy bears are so adorable, and those Christmas plates are so pretty. That centerpiece is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen! Did I tell you I love this tablescape? And what a wonderful and generous give-away. Congratulations on your year anniversary, and please enter me in your drawing. Well, I came over here to thank you for your sweet note, and almost forgot, because I was so carried away by your table. Between TG and the funeral, it has been a very busy week, so I am way behind on blog visiting. (I am still laughing over the "difference between Quimper and Wimper"! You are just so much fun!) laurie
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 1st year of blogging! Your dishes are charming, and the cake is beautiful, festive, and ... well, downright alluring! I'd love a piece before I go! ;)

ReplyDeleteJust to say I am sooo envious that you live close to a Pottery Barn outlet. That's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what all you picked up this time....:) I know it will be awesome...
I love the teddy bears the best and your centerpiece. Adorable plates. Honestly do own stock in WS and try to make us all want to run and shop there:) Ah the money I would save or spend (depending upon who you ask) trailing you around on a shopping spree on LI:) As Larry David would say "That cake is mighty, mighty tasty looking". Congrats on your blogaversary and the prizes look wonderful so please throw my name into the hat..oh and I bet it is a beautiful hat you just happened to find on sale some place:) Go to Sue's blog and see the hats we had on this week for fun.
