Happy 100th Tablescape Thursday!

Congratulations and best wishes to Susan of Between Naps on the Porch, where we are celebrating the 100th Tablescape Thursday!

When Kathleen of Cuisine Kathleen posted a gorgeous all-white tablescape recently, she asked if we were interested in repeating last summer's Let There Be White party. I commented that since I am All About Color, I didn't think I'd be able to pull together an all-white table, but that I'd love to see others' efforts.  Kathleen wrote back, encouraging me to give it a try, so I did.  I looked around my house and through cupboards and closets for anything white and found more things than I'd expected.  I was surprised that I was able to set the table without going shopping for anything!  Here's the view from the entryway.

Here's a closer look at the table.  Through the caneback chair you may spot Tiger snoozing in the late afternoon sun.

I'm using a bridge cloth that my grandmother made and edged with her tatting, with napkins to match.  The tall candleholders are from a fun shop in Salado, Texas, just down the road.  Some of you have seen the preserved boxwood topiaries in an earlier tablescape.

After I had taken most of the photos, I spotted these white bird candles on my baker's rack and decided to add them to the centerpiece. 

A different angle...

Here's a closer look at one of the bird candles.

Here's a placesetting.  We've had the covered ramekins for years -- bought them originally to use for French onion soup.  The silver is Lunt Belvedere.

And here's a closer look at the tatting that edges the cloth and napkins. Grandma taught me to knit and sew, but I never learned to tat!

I like this photo with late afternoon shadows.

Thanks for visiting, and be sure to check out all the other tablescapes celebrating Susan's 100th Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.
