Simple Garden Themed Tablescape

I hate to admit it, but sometimes it's just too hot to eat outside here during the summer.  When it is, we eat in the dining room.  I love anything with birds or garden themes, so it was fun to put this tablescape together.

I used a birdcage, some plants and several cast iron birds in the center.





I found these adorable garden plates and bowls at The Dollar Tree several years ago.  I only bought four of each and am now so disappointed that I didn't buy more.  A friend gave me the little napkin holder pots and napkins.  I think they are so cute!  I got the placemats at Kohl's.  I love the texture of them.




I was in Pottery Barn last week and they had these bird nest place card holders for $1.87 for four.  I bought the last two sets.  I'm not sure if I'll keep all eight as place card holders or maybe just use some as bird nests. 



I am looking forward to serving dinner in here tonight!

Thanks so much for visiting.

  11. I love bird motifs for a tablescape, too. Your birdhouse is a true jewel...just wonderful. Sometime Dollar Tree will recycle assorted patterns. There is a chance that your darling plates could reappear. You might take one in and ask the manager. Sometimes it is even possible to order things from their distribution center. The manager should be able to tell you how. Cherry Kay
