Flower Power...



I found this set of cute glazed flower pots that are for baking at Goodwill a few months ago.




I thought they were the cutest little pots and would could be better than filling them with yummy carrot cupcakes topped with cream cheese frosting?



Come sit, and visit for awhile...





The pretty flowerpot with birds is perfect for a garden centerpiece for my table. I did this same arrangement a while back and loved it so much I decided to do it again! I picked some purple iris, added a few hosta leaves, a yellow day lilly and added them to the flower pot. I love designing floral arrangements and I love how this turned out and I think the garden tools add a bit of whimsy to the table.







If you look closely you can see the garden tools peeking out of the hosta...



I love all the different elements of this table, the blue in the tablecloth with the green placemats and yellow dishes look so pretty together...



The sun is just beginning to set...









The bird statues add a bit of rustic charm. I like how they look like they are very old and covered in moss...





The ivy topiary in the rusty flower pot adds another rustic element to this table...





Cute Frog and Flower Salt and Pepper Shakers...





Lace Bowl...

    Kim,
    What a lovely table! I love the colors and your centerpiece is really pretty. Your cupcakes look good; there's nothing quite as good as cream cheese frosting!

    You did a fabulous job here, Kim. I love the little flowerpots {who could have parted with them?} and your dishes are so pretty. I am going to take a tip from you and try to use some hosta leaves in my floral arrangements. I have a zillion of them! Pretty, pretty table!

    Hi Kim,
    I love your table setting. It's so pretty and the color combinations are so lovely. Those little frog salt and pepper are the cutest things. I also like the use of gardening tools in the centerpiece.

    You are so good at presenting such lovely tables.
