Back To School Table

17 years ago

Copied this tablescape (centerpiece and color scheme) from various blogs on the internet. Had all the pieces already, except for the candle. You can't see it in the pictues, but there's an original Fun with Dick and Jane in the centerpiece. I'll be keeping my eye out for some red salt and pepper shakers (maybe apple S&P shakers) and yellow soup/salad bowls.

That is such a cute tablescape. What a fun idea. Your fold out table always gives me table envy, LOL. - Gail

I love it! Really like the way you did the name tags around the candles and those placemats are perfect for it. How perfect to have the perfect color handles on your silverware even! Yep, apple salt/peppers would be just the right addition. Great job! Luvs

Wonderful take on the "Back to School" tablescape! I can remember learning to read with the "Fun with Dick & Jane" series. Wow...that goes way back, doesn't it! Great idea to put that with your other terrific centerpiece items. Glad Luvs pointed out the placecard chalkboards, almost missed them - terrific! The checkered placemats seem very school-ish too! You get an A+!! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, Dick and Jane!

"See Dick. See Dick run. See Jane. See Jane run. See Spot. See Spot run. Run, Spot, run! See Puff ..." Now what did Puff do? LOL!

That REALLY brought back memories.

Great, great table, too. How do you guys think of this stuff?

I agree, this is so cute and such a different idea.
Makes me want to go back to school...ummmm almost!! lol
Clever idea with the chalk boards. I really like your flatware. I like how the red just makes it all pop.
Dick & Jane...Nice memories for me too. I always used to get teased over Jane...but loved it.

OA, thats very cute. I love the little chalkboards you used as place cards. Now, I dont know where the wine fits into the 'back to school' theme... :)

Mo,
If you'd ever spent 9 months, five days a week in a room full of thirty-two 6-year olds, you'd know.

I don't drink, so I relied on Excedrin! :)

Ha!! I can relate...I don't drink either, so I always relied on Tums, Tylenol and a Strong, Hot Cup of Tea!! Weren't those long holiday weekends and Week long Vacations a Blessing?? Don't know how I would have survived w/o them!
