What Santa Brought
I believe my family has taken note of my interest in tablescaping, as I received some lovely gifts to support my habit! In my previous post, I featured the sparkly placemats and wonderful napkin ring/flower holders from my daughter. Here's another look at the napkin rings:
My son, husband, and mother gave me tablescaping books -- a total of five new sources of inspiration!
I look forward to spending time enjoying the wonderful photos and reading the tips from the experts! I am linking to Marty's Anything Goes Table Top Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life, so be sure to check out the other links there!

What great gifts!! I love those napkin holders too! I have the Southern Lady book and love it. Although, there are a couple "bloopers" in there with table knives, there are some incredible tables. Merry Christmas!!

Your family knows you well. What well thought out gifts. I have all of Mary Carol Garrity's books and they are wonderful and I also have Gracious Tables and enjoy it as well. I have looked at William Yeoward's book several times but used restraint. I think I may have to make a stop at Books a Million today since your post has inspired me. Thank you for visiting my blog.

What awesome gifts. Isn't if fun to get what you really want. I can't wait to see what gems of inspiration you glean from these neat resources. Sorry I am late getting here. Seems I have been late on everything lately.

Oh, you are a lucky, lucky girl! Those books look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful family you have. I have the same tablescaping books as you lol. William Yeoward is my hero (if only he was my brother!!). Southern lady's book I adore and Kim Whitman's too. I will have to look out for the other two. Love those napkin rings and sparkly placemats too. Kathy.
