LOVE IT!!!!!

All of it...including the poem.

I've been a lurker for a looonnng time and this is the first time I've posted.

I LOOOVVEE decorating for holidays and have been inspired so many times in the couple of years I've lurked.

Thanks, ladies.

I love your dishes!! And your writing skills are pretty good too. LOL

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' !!

Oh, Kathleen, your tables are always such a joy to see, and you're a poet, too! What multi-talented people we have here on this forum! Those red heart placemats were such a great find . . . they're wonderful! And I love your dishes and napkins and tulips . . . oh my! That arrangement looks incredibly pretty and fresh.

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.

Funny poem and beautiful table. I love the dishes and the placemats. I know what you mean about the real flowers, I adore them, but very seldom buy any.

You are way too CUTE and SMART!! and the table is lovely!!
Thanks for putting a great big smile on my face!! Everyone is wondering what I've been up to :^)

I love it! and the red tulips are a very nice change from roses! (your poem was nice too :)

Kathleen, your table is so pretty and I really like those plates. That poem had me sitting here giggling. Also, you should be very proud of yourself, looks like you got a long time Lurker out to play with us. LOL.
And welcome, Wanda. Its great you joined in here.

hugs, Karen

Kathleen, I always love your sense of humor--and you truly are multi-talented! What neat placemats, I love those. Everything looks very festive, and I really love your plates.
