I'm linking up with the Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays
Marty over at Stroll Thru Life
for Tablescape Tuesdays
and House In Roses for "Show Off Your Cottage Monday"
Western Warmth Week-end Linky party
This table below is Fall inspired.
I couldn't resist turning those yellow squash in the cutest ducks. Carved carrots for the feet and the beaks. We got all of the veggies from our local Farmer's market.
The ducks definitely added some whimsy to our dinner party.
Dinner menu
Well, Well, look at all of my guests. They look content. I 'm on the right, wearing the black and white dress. California's weather is allowing us to enjoy outside dining.

TOO MUCH FUN!!!! I love those beer sunglasses and the biker hat! You looked so funny sitting there all by yourself with that funny clown hat on!!!! There were just SO MANY funny photos in there! People really had a great time! I am SO going to steal this idea. I don't know how we'll get a frame up, but I'm sure my genius husband will come up with something that will work but won't tear up the ceiling. I LOVE this!!! So basically is it that you just crop the photo around the frame? This just tickles me pink!!! You set a nice table here, too, Linda, and I love all the color!!! I think your little squash geese are just the cutest! Have a wonderful, warm weekend in sunny California!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a party!!! I bet you had lots of fun. They look all so happy. I love the way you have decorated the table. You have a good taste. Take care
