When thinking about a tablescape
for tonight...
My mind was stuck on temptation..
(click photos to enlarge)
The cool weather of Autumn
always gives me a sweet tooth
and a desire for carb loading:-))
Sometimes you must indulge...
So... I had to give in and make my favorite coffee cake
using my Moms recipe....
I'll serve hot tea with the cake,
Using sweet rosy teacups
with mismatched saucers...
Roses and Candlelight are always essential :-)
I used my favorite and often enjoyed
Fluffy Roses dessert plates
from Homer Laughlin...
The muted colors
went well with the soft toned fall roses...
My Grandmothers silver forks,
were laid on delicate
Rachael Ashwell Napkins
from target..
Simple and decadent
like a good dessert...
The centerpiece
is bits of fall colors from around the garden...
A few last pink roses
Stewartia Leaves and Beauty Berries...
The votive candles were nestled into
tiny tartlet pans
while a few crystals were scattered about the table...
The twinkles looked like stars on the
gossamer vintage tablecloth...
Mmmmmm...
Tonight I am joining
Susan for Tablescape Thursday
Thanks for joining me today!
