A Tropical Affair

It's time for another Tablescape Thursday

thanks to our hostess Susan at Between Naps On the

Porch. Be sure to stop by Susan's to see her beautiful

tablescape as well many other beautiful and

inspiring tablescapes.

Welcome to A Tropical Affair

After seeing Susan's large beverage container last week

I was inspired to use mine. We are back in the dining room

since the weather will not cooperate, its really rainy and

very chilly here.

Everything is dressed for the tropics.

I drug out dishes I usually use at Christmas for the table

and there are others that you will have seen in older

tablescapes. The tablecloth is really a dark forest green

just not showing well in the picture. I used gold material

on top of the green for a little punch.

Always fresh fruit in the tropics. A bowl ready for a fresh salad.

I used gold candles for our dinner. We have a candle here

hiding in the grass.

Fresh fruit at all the place setting and I see a pineapple

peaking out.

This is the serving tray I won at the Company picnic

playing Bingo. It has a little white serving dish that

goes in the middle, but this little pineapple fits so well

for this occasion.

Our sideboard is also dressed for the occasion.

We have some colorful little cordial glasses.

The settee is dressed for dinner.

I used straw place mats, off white dinner plates, a gold

salad plate, then layered from there for a little drama.

I used tea towels for napkins and of course the silverware I

have used in several tablescapes, they just seemed to

go well with everything.

I have several of the little green plates, they were given

to me by a dear friend who has since passed away. And

every time I use them I think of her.

Night is coming and we are ready to sit down and eat.

The large base of this vessel is actually a removable

bowl.

A night view of the table.

Thank you for joining me at A Tropical Affair, I hope you

enjoyed your visit. Please visit again soon and as always

feel free to leave a comment, suggestion or ask a question.

I will see everyone at Foodie Friday and at Christmas

In July, Saturday, for a little unexpected on my

Christmas tablescape, you see, I have never made it

to the attic, ummmm that should scare you.
