This is my first ever Tablescape Thursday!!! I have been ooohing and aaahing over all of
the gorgeous tablescapes every Thursday since I started blogging and I finally decided to
join in the fun!!! The choice of dishes for my first tablescape was a no brainer…it had to be
MacKenzie-Childs!!! All of you that no me know that I am crazy about MC. I have it
everywhere in my house and I love setting the table with all the colorful dishes!!!
All of the black and white and the floral dishes are MacKenzie-Childs…as well as the
placemats and little bud vases…it all comes from Suzanne Roberts in Snider Plaza, Dallas
Texas. The clear glasses are from Horchow and the green glasses are from Neiman
Marcus. The flatware is from Ballard Designs. I have had the napkins forever and I am not
sure where they are from…they may have even been a gift. The flowers I picked up from
our local Central Market…they always have a wonderful selection.
I had the best time creating and photographing this tablescape…as you can tell from the
amount of pictures I took!!! I could not decide which photos to use…so I used them all!!!
Thank you to our gracious hostess…Susan at Between Naps on the Porch!!! Pop over to her
gorgeous site to see all the beautiful tablescapes!!!
Lots of Love
Cathy!!!

Hi everyone!!! I thought I would pop in and make a little clarification!!! This is my first time participating in Tablescape Thursday...not my first time to DO a tablescape. I am almost 50 years old and an interior designer...how sad would it be if I had never set the table:(?!!!
Ya'll are to cute!!!
Thanks for worrying about me!!!
XOXO
Cathy
This is beautiful Cathy!! Welcome to Tablescape Thursday!!!
May be your first time, but hopefully not your last! You're a pro already! I love this table setting with the gorgeous dishes and contrast. I was admiring the flatware, so thanks for telling us where it came from. Simply beautiful!
Brenda
Your first tablescape is an amazing success! Congratulations! I love the yellow polka dot flower dishes on top of the black and white checkerboard. So pretty. Everything came together beautifully. I always admire the MacKenzie-Childs dishes and furniture.
So Charming!
Oh this is fabulous. Your whole table suits those plates so well! I love how you put it all together!!
Honey child, what a gorgeous table you've set. This may be your first Tablescape Thursday with Susan, but this isn't your first rodeo when it comes to tablescapes. Is it as hot in Texas as it is in Tennessee - approaching a humid 98 today.
Happy Twirls
Wow I love it! So pretty! Hurray for your first one! I am going to be posting my first one next week yay. I love all those colors together.
All the best,

First of all, thank you for your lovely comment, and next...SHUT UP!!! You have Mckenzie Childs-and a lot of it!!!! I am sooo jealous! I fell in love when we visited her gorgeous store in NYC. Your table is just scrumptious. Gotta run, I need to check out more of your blog. BTW, your header is just beautiful. Please come visit again soon.

I love your table and everything about it. The placemats are a favorite but so are the dishes...etc. I enjoyed ALL the photos. Would love to sit down to a dinner at that table. Enjoy!

A beautiful, beautiful tablescape! I love the floral and check mix! And the individual floral bouquets are also lovely.
I'm a bit behind on my blog reading, but I wanted to compliment you on a beautiful tablescape!!! I loved the colors and the combination of patterns!!!
Gotta love that M-C...I too collect it as well as paint furniture in that same style...your scape is beautiful!!
