Destination Fantasy Land Tablescape

First things first...We are truly blessed to have the means to set a pretty table and invite our friends to join us for good food and fellowship. I am mindful that many are not so fortunate. My daughter has a passion for the work of the Food Bank. As a singer-songwriter, she has written and recorded a song that is the anthem for the world wide Crop Hunger Walk project. Her song, "Raise Your Voice" is featured in their video. I've included a link in the side margin of my blog. I hope that it will encourage you to support projects in your community that contribute to the effort to overcome hunger.

Our grandson Jack stayed with us for four days last week. We had a ball, and I slept most of the day after he went home. One of our adventures was a trip to the Oklahoma Museum of Art and the Dale Chihuly installation of his magical works. As I photographed Chihuly's works, I kept choosing different pieces that I wanted to use to set a fantastical tablescape. I thought that you might enjoy a stroll through some of the exhibit, and you can select elements for your own fantasy table design...from plates to centerpiece delights...I can only dream because even if they were for sale, I couldn't afford them. Won't you dream with me?

Soup Bowls

Floral Centerpieces

Candelabras

Dinner Plates

Charger Plates...Be still my heart!

Accent Plates

Buffet Tables

Magical Goblets

And this one is for Alycia at Tablescapes at Table Twenty-One. It brings to mind all the amazing tall centerpieces that she uses with such skill. Can't you envision a trio of these marching down the center of one of her tables? I can!

I can already see my tablescape beautifully laid out. Which pieces would you add to your stash? We can always dream!

Thank you, yet again, to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting her magical meme, Tablescape Thursday. I'll be linking my post to "TABLESCAPE THURSDAY." Hop on over and check out the myriad of marvelous tablescape designs, after 10:00 AM on Thursdays. You'll be glad that you made the trip...it's a wonderful adventure.

When I think of July, I think of precious times with my grandsons, during their summer vacation. How about you? With thankfulness for her dedication and efforts, I'm joining the multi-talented Tablescaper for her fabulous meme SEASONAL SUNDAYS. Hope to see you there!

Wednesday evening is the sixteenth edition of Cuisine Kathleen's meme, "LET'S DISH". So excited to be a charter member. Pop over (pun intended for the Chef Supreme Kathleen) and join the fun!

You can check out KC's music at www.kcclifford.com, on iTunes, and on YouTube. I hope that you'll take a few minutes and give her a listen. You'll also enjoy reading back through her blog on this site. The girl can really write! KC has just released her 5th studio CD project, "The Tag Hollow Sessions". The sold out CD release concert was this past weekend. "The Tag Hollow Sessions" is available on iTunes or through her website. I hope that you'll give her music a chance. I know that I have zero objectivity where she is concerned, but I think that you'll fall in love with her music and her!
