Wine For Two

A dessert table for two:

 Some Koda dessert wine for two.  Koda is a chocolate flavored wine! and yes it tastes and smells like CHOCOLATE!

I went to the County Fair last weekend and went straight to the tablescape showroom and what did I find?
I found lots and lots of fantastic tables that you will not believe your festive eyes.  I'm going to post my most favorite table of all today, well, besides the Halloween tables, which I nearly had a heart attack from.  You see, I LOVE Halloween and the tables were to die for, bwahahaha! (howling in the background).  But I'll save the creepy Halloween tables for a later day as we get closer to it, besides, I don't know if you can handle creepy, scary tables, can you?      

This table remind me of Alice in Wonderland because of the grass, it was definitely real grass.
It was set up by Richard Carmona of Chino Hills, California.  It has a Mexican flair with lots of reds, yellows and greens.
Here's a close up:

Here's a close up of the side table:

Here's another display I liked, I don't know who was the decorator for this table but I like it a lot.  It's very casual with blues and the purples that go well together:

and here's another favorite of mine, I'm sorry but I didn't get the name of the designer for this one either.
This one is so wild and crazy, don't you think? I can just picture myself and my husband sitting there having an Italian pasta and for dessert, tiramisu and a bottle of Koda, oh yeah. 

This is my Tablescape Thursday and Pink Saturday posts.  Join the party and head on over to the following linky parties for more Tablescape awesomeness and Pink cuteness:

Easter Table

For Tablescape Thursday and Pink Saturday, I wanted to post pictures of my Easter themed table. I love the colors. I wanted to add my Easter houses but I couldn't find them. I wonder if my husband took them to charity???? goodness, talk about panic attack.

I told my oldest son who's ten years old that we were going to celebrate Easter at a friends house. I thought he'd be delighted since the couple has a boy his age. But, to my surprise, he was not. He actually got a little upset and said he didn't want to go. He looked up at me and, with a little attitude, said "what? is he my niece? or is he my uncle? is that why we have to go there?" ......of course I couldn't hold back the laughter, I tried but his reaction was just too funny. I wonder if I was as confused as he when I was his age; cousin, niece, nephew, uncle..... I think in his mind they are all one and the same. But no worries, I did explain to him the relationship between nieces and uncles, that is after I got up off the floor from rolling with laughter. Don't worry, my son has a good sense of humor and thought it was funny that he made me laugh so hard.

This is the dinner plate:

By the way, today was my last class for Cake Decorating at Michael's (the arts and crafts store). I had so much fun in this class, and we had such a talented instructor.  I learned more than I thought I would and now I'm not so nervous to decorate cakes. I'm actually pretty good right now but I do need to practice. This was for course 1 for beginners, look what I made: Delicious!

But, actually first, I should show you how BAD I was at cake decorating, prior to taking this Wilton Class at Michael's.  CAUTION: UGLY PICTURE AHEAD:

I dare you to double click on it to enlarge it on your screen.  I'm telling you, Wilton saved me from being disowned by my family and friends!



Now for the big reveal, TADA:
