Pink Saturday
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
Today is Pink Saturday and Bev from How Sweet The Sound is hosting this Pin Day. I was inspired the other day, when some fabric arrived from Spoonflower.
It made me think how this fabric would look great as a table runner.
Or maybe a tablecloth. Did I tell you that I am learning how to sew?
After I thought about that, I was browsing in Home Goods (better than therapy). I love white dishes,
and I found some lovely coffee mugs and little square dishes with the Eiffel Tower design.
I had these French doves for candles, but I found sweet little tea lights to go inside.
So, I came home and set the table with my favorite coffee pot, dishes, cake forks and coffee spoons and cream and sugar bowl.
It's a funny thing about how one thing leads to another. I thought why not join White Wednesday over at Faded Charm, this is my first time.
Now I think I will go bake a cake. Or learn how Julia Child makes French pastry.
The name of the song for this post is I Love Paris.
The fabric is perfect for your table! I love the beautiful flowers! Are they from your garden? And did you bake a cake? ♥♥♥
Hi Karen
How perfect to find plates and mugs that match your fabric! The table looks wonderful and I like the fabric that you designed.
Hugs, Rhondi
Thanks for inviting us all for tea. Just wish that we knew what kind of cake we're eating here. ;>
Sweet dishes, wonderful fabric, you pulled it all together beautifully.
Love those mugs and the fabric with the Eiffel Tower. How Frenchy you are. Your flowers are gorgeous, and your dining room is so pretty. I need to try a sewing class. I took Home Ec and did NOT do well at the sewing. I'm afraid it it made me dislike sewing. Maybe I've matured enough to have the patience it requires. laurie
well, i love paris right along with you.
your enchanting white table is just
perfect with your table cloth.
thanks for sharing,

Well- How fun is that!? I'm a little crazy for the Eiffel Tower--gotta admit. Fun Table! jacqueline
Good morning dear Karen!
White dishes and other white accessories are my absolute favorite, especially when serving up colorful food. If the plates are too ornate, you can't see the food! White is beautiful, and so is your lovely, lovely home. Thank you for inviting us in!!! Bisous, Anita
that is such a pretty room Karen...the molding on your walls are fabulous...happy first white wednesday:) i have cupcakes in the oven right now...
Really adorable! Lovin' the french white theme:)and am a frequent visitor to Homegoods myself!
I just adore that fabric - whoever designed it?!
I love the Eiffel Tower tableware - I wish we had a Home Goods near us. The closest thing we have is a TJMax LOL.
Fun post, Karen. Synchronicity!!! I found a meme called Teacup Tuesday ... !!!!! (Love your fabric ... I keep thinking about the postal fabric you showed earlier and what a wonderful pillow it would make....)
A beautiful setting. I felt relaxed more and more as I studied it.
Hi Karen,
Good for you to learn to sew! It will provide you with hours and days of pleasure, for sure!

Karen, I have those same dishes! Can you believe it??? I used them for cake when Claudie was here. And I love that fabric and think it will be a lovely runner for your table. You won't believe this either, but I have been thinking of buying a machine, too! Let me know what you get. I have been looking at a Brother to start.
XO,
Sheila :-)
The eiffel tower dishes look wonderful with your fabulous eiffel tower fabric! Love the table setting.
I can't wait 'til my daughter comes home, so that I can show her that fabric and the plate! She will be ga-ga over it!
Happy White Wednesday!
