Thank you, Susan, for hosting this truly terrific tablescape party!
To take in more tablescape sensations...pop over to Between Naps on the Porch, after you've visited here, for a list of all the Tablescape Divas to visit!
Now I know I may be stretching this a bit this week...but I have been a little under the weather, so I didn't get the tablescape I was dreaming of pulled together. Soooooo, I thought and I thought and I thought...oh, what could I do? I didn't want to miss out on all the fun. After quite a bit of consideration, I decided to share one of my "por-table-scapes"!

You know...the tablescape you can create on a tray and take with you anywhere...well, almost anywhere!
I love to set a tray for myself or when I have a guest or two for tea or a snack. My Prince even sets a "por-table-scape" to serve me breakfast in bed from time to time! I know, I know...he IS a Prince! (and, he's been in training for over 33 years)
I found these little snack sets right before Christmas, only two of them, at Homegoods.
They are Lenox, Classic Collection, Opal Innocence...and I LOVE them!
They are very "bridal like"...white on white with raised dots and pearly finish...beautiful!
(you can click on the pics to enlarge)
The close up came out too blurry.
I added a little silver bird ornament on top of a glittery wreath ornament to adorn the plates, a pink glass garland swirls around the tray, along with a candle, a miniature teapot and a faux candlestick arrangement made by my friend, Sherry.
The ottoman in front of my favorite comfy chair, in front of the cozy fireplace, is a perfect spot to set the tray whether it's in use or not, don't you agree?!
Would you join me in front of the fire for a cup of ginger peach tea and some oatmeal scones, I'd love to visit for awhile!

I hope your prince brought you tea in bed since you aren't feeling well. I love your por-table-scape. It looks so romantic. And I adore your chair & ottoman. I would love to cozy up and read a book there.

I would love to join you for some tea. Everything looks beautiful. I hope you are feeling better soon. Put some honey and lemon in your tea, maybe that will chase away the uglies.

This is gorgeous, I love what you have done. I have several of the old luncheon plates that are glass with little punch cups that set on them. They are perfect for baby or bridal showers. But I love what you have done, and that Chair! Oh my gosh! Too beautiful!
