A Tablescape Retrospective
All tables, in this post, were put together at our homes.
The mosaics are made with photos I shot throughout the past year or two and Christmas past.
Many photos, few words.
Stop by Mary’s Dear Little Red House, for Mosaic Monday.
This also serves as my contribution for Tablescape Thursday November 12.
I composed this post, late Friday afternoon.
My internet connection has been touch and go, this trip to the lake; not a lot of blog browsing happening.
I’m taking a little break, for a few days, to prepare for our getaway. I’ll return to regular blogging, soon.
Have a wonderful week!

Gasp! Gorgeous tablescapes, Pat! Beautiful mosiacs! So much eye candy...all is one spot...you sure got this girl's heart racing this morning! :-) Susan
Good morning Pat. Your post today is beautiful of your many lovely tablescapes. I loved them and remember some of them but not all. I loved the fireside table. Perfect idea.
Have a great break.
Hugs, Jeanne
Gorgeous tablescapes! I'm home sick with the dreaded H1N1 virus, and this beautiful post really brightened my day!

Stunning! Every last one of them, Pat, is magazine-worthy. Love these SO much.
Have fun on your getaway...
XO,
Sheila :-)
you have such talent! oooooh my favs are the table in front of the fireplace and the Christmas...and Thanksgiving...and... i like them all!
Wow those are gorgeous. I especially loved the spring with the eggs, the summer with the "dogs & suds" cups and baskets :) and my very favorite is the winter with your lenox "winter greetings" everyday ware - I have been slowly building my collection of that set, getting pieces so that each setting has a different bird, and hope to have it complete this year or next, well at least for a full set of 4 place settings, and have some various pieces to gradually add 4 more when able. I just love the colors in that line. Thanks for sharing such beautiful settings!
Amazing Pat...kinda like a year in the life...
Truely beautiful, all of them! I do that too, change out with the seasons. Thanks for visiting and I wanted to let you know that the best thing about my daughter's new home is that it is right next door to her mom's...
Everyone of these gorgeous tables are just stunning. Love them all. Hugs, Marty
Hi Pat, I am not even going to try and pick a favorite. lol...I love your rooster especially since I just bought one just like him at an antiques shop. He's not an antique for sure but that's where I found him. I love him. He will be a centerpiece on my table for Thanksgiving. Happy Sunday. xo Lynn
All of your tablescapes are just beautiful! In my new house I have a pantry off the eat in area of the kitchen, that I am going to use just for entertaining purposes. I am filling it with candle sticks, candles, vases, cloches, etc, so I will be able to create some wonderful tablescapes of my own soon!
Hugs,
Penny
Breathtaking pictures!
*WHEW....all your tablescapes and photos take my breath away. Just magnificent.
Have a good rest...I am taking one, soon, myself. Need to deep clean and get things cooked and in the freezer for Thanksgiving.
