A Table For Two
A Table Inspired By Nature & A Few Bloggers...
Acorns collected from an afternoon walk and Coleus from our garden
When bringing acorns into the house...just give them a little bake first
(Just to get rid of anything that might be living inside)
I hadn't given a lot of thought to tablescapes until I started
seeing creative ideas on some of the blogs I follow...
I simply got inspired!
This simple scape made our dining experience so special.
It elevated our meal of
Grilled Pork Chops and Roasted Vegetables
to a whole new level.
It was well worth the extra effort
even if it was just
for the two of us
or
Especially Because
it was
For the Two of Us!

What a beautiful tablescape! I like that cute little table...Christine
ReplyDeleteGeneva, I'm also loving your tablescape. Thanks for giving me the great idea of the smaller table atop the larger table. I'm thinking the small table/stool that sits beside the old "red cabinet" on my back porch post might work well that way, too. I can hardly wait to try it. Thanks for being my newest follower and I'm your newest one, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Geneva!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful nature-inspired tablescape you have! I especially love the touches of acorn that you added! :) Thank you so much for stopping by my blog & leaving a kind comment - it is much appreciated. :) Take care & have a most wonderful week!
Best,
Jessie
What a beautfiul table for two. I so like the acorn idea and may have to go sneak some from the squirrels out back. Now one day this week I will have to surprise my husband with a lovely table setting for two. Thanks for the inspiration.~~Cherrie~~
ReplyDeleteYou've really created a lovely and ethereal table setting, Geneva! Adding in the little bitty pumpkins,apples, and acorns were great "fall-ifying" touches. :-) I'm glad you came by for a visit today- so happy to meet you.

Geneva,
ReplyDeleteyour tablescape is lovely! Love all the nature inspired touches. I love acorns, but just in case, I got some from my MIL's house once to keep and after a while, little creepy critters came out! I think you have to bake them on low for a while in the oven, not sure how long, might be able to find out on web. I love them used in decorating. Thanks so much for visiting and leaving such a nice comment! I'm your newest follower also, will be visiting often!

ReplyDeletea lovely tablescape, funny how blogging changes the way we do things isn't it. I find I must take a photo of everything and post it and pin it....and I had never used the word tablescape before blogging.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that about baking the acorns, but it makes good sense.
ReplyDeleteI just became a happy follower! Where is Aubrey?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tablescape... Your photography is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI need a new camera!
