Awesome! It's mine, too! Let's celebrate!
Here's your place...don't forget to eat your napkin ring! ;-)
Curly flatware works for our fun tablescape. The bowls all picture Alice swimming in her tears... (Click on each pic twice to enlarge for reading.)
Which salad plate would you like? Alice?
The White Rabbit?
The Mad Hatter?
Or, the Cheshire Cat?
Spiral wording on our dinner plates makes me think of falling down, down, down into the rabbit hole.
Alice is negotiating with her croquet mallet,
While the Red Queen takes her turn.
Please pick your favorite coaster for your cup.
Would you like some salt and pepper?
How about a big slice of Un-Birthday cake?
A very Merry Un-Birthday to You!

ReplyDeleteSusan, that is the cutest tablescape I've seen in along while! Love the china and the napkins rings! Alice in Wonderland has always been a favorite with me!
ReplyDeleteSusan, this one has Allie grinning ear to ear- "Mom, we HAVE to get those dishes!" LOL Great table and would make for great conversation. Thanks so much for hosting the fun!
ReplyDeletexoxo pattie and allie
"Get the jam! Get the jam!" Your tea party would be perfect for my sisters and me - we can all quote the Disney Alice in Wonderland verbatim. (Sad admission...) What an amazing "present" cake dome!
ReplyDeleteWWOOWW!! This was the best Un-Birthday EVER!! Thank YOU!! It is just DARLING!! And that cake is just to die for!! What fun things you have set out on your table!! XXOO
ReplyDeleteYour tablescapes are so beautiful. I'm new to your blog but have enjoyed so much going back and viewing all the lovely tablescapes. I do have a question, though - where in the world do you store all theses lovely things? My hat's off to you! I'm trying desperately to add storage to my kitchen just because I somehow seem to always be buying dishes. My blog is sallysburrow.blogspot.com and my posting this weekend will be about my little kitchen addition. I'm so excited about it. Whodda thunk that we'd get so excited about kitchen storage and work space ...
ReplyDeleteSusan, this is just the BEST tablescape! And so timely too with the new Alice coming into theaters. I love your china!
ReplyDeletePenny
Susan, what a stunning tablescape! Oh and my heavens, the theme is just awesome! A UN happy Birthday to you!!
ReplyDeleteNancy
How cute! Those dishes are hot items. I went to our Marshall's and they only had a tray. I like that, "your invited to your unbirthday, it's mine too!" Very cute!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Memorial Day weekend.
Sherry
How fun to find the Alice in Wonderland dishes! Love this idea for a tablescape, and it sets off your gorgeous covered cakestand splendidly!
ReplyDeleteThose place settings are just darling, sugar! I think even I could have an "un-birthday" if I could use those plates.
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Connie
I ADORE the cake stand! Happy unbirthday-- it's darling!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Happy un-birthday to you too :)
ReplyDeleteLove the "cake" centerpiece and the candy necklace napkin rings! Such a cute "un-birthday" party (or a real children's one or even someone turning 50)
ReplyDeleteHow neat, makes me want to see the new movie with Johnny Depp! LUV him!
ReplyDeleteThe candy napkin holder idea is too cute to pass up. Ingenuous!
ReplyDeleteSusan, actually, Thursday, May 27th is my real birthday. At a certain age maybe we should celebrate un-birthdays! Great post!

ReplyDeleteWow, I love this one, especially the cake platter! These are the times that I miss living in the states even more than I usually do.
ReplyDeleteSee you next Thursday!
Hi Susan, what a whimsical funny table with that pretty china. I am not so familar with Alice in Wonderland but I feel the fun at it. And if I had to choose my plate, it had to be the one with the rabbit. because I am always little late. Time goes over so quickly. Was a big fun to discover your table with all the neat details.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Johanna
What a fun table! I love the dishes!
ReplyDeleteDonna
Thanks a bunch Susan -- you're a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape, as always, is perfect, and I love those dishes -- they care so neat!
I come by once in awhile to check out your tablescapes they are all beautiful. But I was wondering how you store so many things. Do you keep everything you use? Sell it or donate it?
ReplyDeleteYour dish suppy has no end!!! How amazing to be able to set such a unique table. I love it! Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful blog party. If you have a chance, stop over and check out my very first blue hour photo. It just took me by surprise!
ReplyDeleteSusan-thanks so much for all you do to host this wonderful site. I have a hard time waiting for Thursday! Your setting is gorgeous -as usual- and as usual I'm inspired!
ReplyDeleteThis is so whimsical! Not only does it bring a smile, but it puts me in a celebrating mood! You inspire me to want to host parties, maybe too many parties.:)
ReplyDeleteThis is my most favorite ever! LOVE it. And if I could drive I would be in a car heading straight for the stores to scoop up whatever ones of these lovelies I could. Of course, I'm stuck in bed. grrrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteA very merry un-birthday to YOU!
What a cute idea - for an 'un-Birthday' Party. I never really got into Alice in Wonderland all that much. I don't even think I saw the movie as a young girl. However, this table makes me want to be 'all' about it. Great job. Also, thanks for the give-a-way opportunity. I enjoy your blog and all the tips and ideas that you give us. It always makes me want to throw a dinner party. thanks,
ReplyDeleteJust the most fun table setting I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteIt is time for an Unbirthday!
Loving it!
Kathy
I want it all!!!! Love, love, love this!!!
ReplyDeleteYour table looks amazing, how inspiring!

Happy Thursday.
This tablescape was so much fun. I love the dishes and your presentation is wonderful, as always. I hope to participate more in this event but been too busy with other things lately. I have looked at a few other posts and plan to look at as many more as I possibly can. This is great!
ReplyDeleteYour alice in wonderland table is just to die for, so darn cute, I would have loved to have those dishes...our stores had maybe one thing at a time and never the plates...the whole set is just wonderful and of course with the great cake plate as a topper, I had to keep going back and looking at it...perfect as usual susan, you are always an inspiration....
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny! Yesteday I came home telling my girls Happy Un-Birthday to you!! They thought I was crazy!! This is by far my favorite tablescape! I absolutely LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteSusan! How whimsical! I will take the "I'm late, I'm late!" plates, please. I am always late "for a very important date." I don't MEAN to be late for everything, but I always am... But you are NOT late with this gorgeous post. Right on time to make us all happy. I especially LOVE the matching salt and pepper shakers.
ReplyDeleteTake care!
Best regards,
Gloria
P.S. I forgot! HAPPY UN-BIRTHDAY TO YOU! :)

After being away for several days doing things that were sad and difficult, wouldn't you know I would pick today to try to get back to blogging. Just in time to see that china I knew I'd be jealous of. I'm so glad I didn't miss it...how cute is this? You certainly made me smile. The salt and pepper shakers...oh my gosh, love them. This was really fun...thank you.
ReplyDeleteSue
I love everything about the tablescape, but the cake stand is my favorite - I love collecting cake stands. Beautiful! Thanks for hosting the party - I'm not nearly as good as most of your posts, but I'm having so much fun doing the tablescapes and I love having my table pretty all the time. Thanks,Ava

ReplyDeleteSusan, I've been eager to see what you would do with your wonderful set of Alice in Wonderland dishes. Love the table. Cute napkin rings! These dishes are just such fun. Glad you found all the pieces.
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday weekend! ~ Sarah
Oui oui oui... I painted YOUR table!!!
ReplyDeleteYour table made me smile! It is so much fun and so happy looking. Great job.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That table is AMAZING! I love your taste and am amazed by the settings you put together. And I'm so happy to know that there is someone as cool as you here in Atlanta!!! Now I'm going to have to embroider an Alice table cloth, napkin, and maybe even placemat collection. Any thoughts on color palette? :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you won an award. Drop by http://stresstheseams.blogspot.com/2010/05/10-things-i-need-to-share-because.html to check it out.
Susan, I loved the tablescape, and I also wanted to tell you that I just bought the appetizer fork and spoon from the same set as yours. What I was impressed with is how heavy they are and they look great with that set now to drive back 200 miles to pick up the other sets! LOVED it!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial Weekend my friend…Hugs and Smiles Gl♥ria
ReplyDeleteWOW, simply a beautiful tablescape. I'm going to have to pull out the good china. Thanks for stopping by I hoped you joined in
ReplyDeleteSusan, I feel just like White Rabbit...I'm late, I'm late, I'm late...but I finally made it, phew! It's not like me to be late to your party, I really lost track of time. Your table is so precious, I love it! Thank you for sharing and also for hosting TT.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hugz,

What a fabulous home tour. Thanks for taking your camera along. I also enjoyed the previous one. The white baby calves that were thought to be sheep,so funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat an enchanting and whimsical table. Such fun!!!!!!! -Brenda-
ReplyDelete(My 4 year old Grandson would just love those napkin rings.)
Happy Un-Birthday to you Susan. Just dropping in for a visit and to say that I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend. I love this tablescape with the AIW dinnerware and that cake plate is precious!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I ran out to Tuesday Morning as soon as I saw it, and was able to get 3 dinner plates and 3 bowls. I will be making some road trips to others to try to gather a set like yours. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteStacy...be sure to check on eBay, too. You may want to call around to the Tuesday Mornings. That's what I did so I'd save myself a little driving time. Hope you find some more!
