Two Great Give-a-Ways and Reader's Tablescapes on this Pink Saturday!

A few weeks ago, I mentioned on Saturdays, during the month of December, I would love to post tablescapes created by folks who enjoy tablescaping, but don't happen to have a blog. I'm delighted to say, I received pics of some wonderful tablescapes and I'm excited to share them with you today!

If you sent in your pics and you do not see your tablescape posted here today, please drop me an e-mail letting me know, and I'll post them on next Saturday. I don't think I missed any, but please let me know if I have. If you love tablescaping but don't have a blog...and would love to see your tablescape posted here next Saturday, click HERE to read more about how you might participate.

Nancy has created a beautiful fall tablescape...come on in and have a seat!

Beautiful china...such amazing detail! It feels both elegant and whimsical...love it!

When night falls, we'll be dining by candlelight...

Our napkins get a bit of fall color, too...

I adore this centerpiece! Nancy told me the swan is an actual (hollow) decoy...the type used in hunting. Doesn't it make a stunning centerpiece with this gorgeous floral arrangement?

The fall color is carried right onto the chandelier...brilliant!

Nancy, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful fall tablescape!

China: Villery & Boch ; Pattern Intarsia
Glass candle hoders and candle: Pier One
Silverware: Reed & Barton
Swan Floral Centerpiece: Swan is a hollow decoy (kind used in hunting)

Kim is sharing a Christmasy tablescape with a whimsical snowflake theme.

Aren't these napkins and napkin rings cute as can be? Kim found the napkins at Hobby Lobby, one of my absolutely favorite places to shop. Would you like to win a years worth of shopping at Hobby Lobby? Kelee at The Katillac Shack is sponsoring a fabulous Hobby Lobby Give-a-Way...click HERE to enter.

The snowflake theme is continued here on these adorable salad plates...

I see Frosty has been dining with us...and he appears to have left his hat! ;-)

Ohhh, another beautifully decorated chandelier!

Kim included a pic of her gorgeous Christmas tree that's visible from the dining room. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful holiday tablescape, Kim!

Chargers: Hobby Lobby, 2 years ago
Dinner plates: Target, 4 years ago
Glasses: Kroger, new
Napkins: Hobby Lobby, new

Judy has her kitchen table all ready for us...come on in! The narcissus are just about to burst into bloom.

I love the avian theme...note the birdie accent pieces and the adorable salt and pepper shakers.

The vintage tablecloth stole my heart...it's so perfect for Christmas and this tablesetting. Cute salad plates!

The glassware is depression glass and it looks absolutely beautiful with the more modern salad plates.

Judy, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful tablescape! It's the perfect blend of vintage and modern!

Wonderful table settings... very imaginative. That first set of china is breathtaking -- and I love the Christmas themed pieces in the next two settings. Great idea, Susan!

I'm up late and trying to get some blogging done before tomorrow!

Happy Pink Saturday...

XO,

At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , Babs said...: Nancy, Oh, my! Your swan centerpiece and chandelier and table are stunning with the fall colors of bittersweet and touches of black. So elegant!

Kim, Aren't you glad Frosty forgot his hat? Perfect centerpiece. Your darling little pillows are so inviting and is that a lantern with snowflake plate and candle on the column? Love, love it!

Judy, Such a cheerful table! I'd love to have breakfast here. The vintage tablecloth and sweet little birds with the crandberry glass are a perfect combination.

Thanks Susan for showing these wonderful tablescapes.
At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , Connie said...: We're getting our first Hobby Lobby in Idaho quite soon, chickee, and I can't wait since I've heard so much about it. Beautiful settings. Love charger plates and just acquired some for our Christmas Dinner.

I'm putting up my first pink and white tree today. This will take several hours if not days with all the stuff I've made or collected. Hubs is reserving his opinion until I finish, but it'll be great I know!

xoxo,
Connie
At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , Kim @ Savvy Southern Style said...: Susan, thank you so much for sharing my tablescape along with the other two beautiful tablescapes. I have learned so much by looking through so many tablescapes almost every Thursday. If this were to become a hobby of mine I would definitely need a storage closet for all the goodies. I have a small closet that I need to clean out and put some shelves in. Uh oh, it sounds like I may have some work for my husband to do. lol

D, the window panels are from countrycurtains.com purchased recently. Thanks for asking.

Merry Christmas,

Kim

At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...: These are all so pretty, Susan. Thank you for sharing them. I need to get my own Christmas dishes up from the basement and washed and ready for use.

At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , Lori E said...: Susan I have tried twice to vote for your tablescape but there is nothing clickable there even after I have signed in to FB on my account. I can see who has commented and who has said they liked it but no thumbs up that I can click.
At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , bj said...: Ummm...these are so lovely.
I fell in love with Kim's red buffalo checked curtains...Now, I want some!! :O)
Thanks for sharing these with us...

At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , Beverly@My Sew Sweet Studio said...: Enjoyed seeing these ladies tablescapes so much. Such a variety of ideas. You are so sweet to sponser those that don't have a blog. I was one of those not long ago.
Sure hope you win the contest. Yours was by far my favorite.
At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net) said...: Hi Lori,
I think if the "like" button is appearing grayed out, you would probably need to add yourself as a "fan" to HomeGoods. You can click on their main Facebook page and "fan" them, then you'll be able to vote. :-) Thanks so much for trying...you are a love to do that!

At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , Tammy518 said...: Oh, what beautiful tablescapes you've posted this week, Susan. Thanks to the three ladies for opening up their homes to us. They all did outstanding jobs, and need blogs of their own!

Kim, if you see this, could you click to my blog and let me know where you got your dining bench? I got one at my table, and just love, and have recently bought a new table that can expand even longer, so I'm in the market for another bench.
At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , mycitycottage said...: Susan every table =settings are wonderfull. Thank you for sharing them with us
At Saturday, December 12, 2009 , C.J. said...: I so hope you win, all of them are lovely but since I "know" you, you are the one that got my vote.
Now, my dear Susan, remember that my poor old mom is still in the slammer and can't get released until I win something. You know, the old gal is 84 and not looking so good. :) Take care and enjoy this weekend.
