| I couldn't find a poem to match my tablescape, so I wrote one...:) (apologies to Robbie Burns)
Your love is like a red, red tulip,
The plates and bowls from Horchow
Those pretty heart shape dishes
Lions head bowl with the tulips.
Wine stems are from Pfaltzgraff
Deep red cloth is underneath,

| Kathleen.. I saw this and commented on your blog last night. I must comment again and tell you how impressed I am by your 'Multi Talents'! I love this table and all its lovely details, from the Centerpiece...stemware, layered tablecloth and napkins..and those DISHES! You are an amazing shopper and I would love 'hanging out' with you for a day. I'd allow you to drag me around to all your 'Shopping Haunts'...and I'd be your happy 'shop-along slave' ! By the way...I'm waiting eagerly, for your first published book of 'Kathleen's Poems' !! jane |

| Thank you Wanda, and welcome..Hope you will join in the fun! Gardener, the poem was a joke...many of the bloggers pick a poem to go with their tables, so I thought I would have some fun with them..and thanks.. Jane, I think we would have a great time shopping..you know it has to be a BARGAIN or we pass it by! Thanks, Lynn...I hope you are feeling better! |

| LOVE IT! A perfect balance of color. The placemats are adorable , the plates divine and the tablecloth/matching napkins fabulous. |
|
| Wow! Kathleen, you excel at both poetry and tablescapes! Very talented lady you are! So much to like about the setting - the placemats are perfect, as are the napkins, the plates (Oh, my), the flowers, and I love your frilly beeswax tapers - did you make them yourself? The cutwork white tablecloth over red is very subtle but sooo effective. TFS you are truly inspiring. |
