green with envy

I couldn't decide what kind of table I wanted to do this week when I join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. I recently found these napkins on sale but had nothing to go with them. I am so in envy of all of you  in blogland. It's like once you come up with an idea you have everything you need to make it all come together. I had new napkins and no ideas at all

I found these blue plates  on my clearance search at Burlington Coat Factory. these were some of the stash I grabbed up for 49 cents each but had no clue if the blue would match in my new napkins. I buy material when I see it never knowing what I am going to do with it but I tried it  and like it. Is it to busy? to many patterns? I thought they looked ok with each other that is another reason why I envy all of you. It's like you all pull everything off so well

This is probably one of the minimalist of tables I have ever done. I tend to overdo than be minimal. I am a great believer in more is better. I didn't even use a cake plate for this one  ok the two mini's for the candles. I had a dark blue cake stand I  wanted to use but the wrong color blue and it threw everything off.My goal in life (HA_HA) is to have a cake plate in almost every color. although my collection is large I am long way to achieving that. 

Had lovely napkin rings that kinda toned down all the patterns

Scrounged thru cupboards and found these glasses close enough blue to match wasn't worried about the green tone

Didn't even see the shadows until  I put them on the computer guess I should clean my eye glasses better.

Only a few beads this time just enough for a little bit of pop

Picked up the bottle at Marshalls on clearance don't know what I was going to do with it either.

Looking at it  the colors look ok together and the blue matched the plates perfectly.

I'm glad I was able to pick up two of these plates I also got them in green and brown (later posts) come on  they were only 49 cents who wouldn't snatch them all up?

Well I hope everyone likes the color choice they didn't turn out so bad but I still am envious of most of you but learning that there are no rules and I could do whatever I want. Have a great week. Now that Labor day is past we can start with all the beauty of the Fall scapes that we are anxious to get to. Color ON.Susie
