After being away at school for the past eight months
my daughter has come home for the summer.
To welcome her home I did a special
"Welcome Home" tablescape.
I used her favorite colors - orange and pink.
The vase she picked out from Michaels on a previous visit home.
The flowers I found at Dollarama
as well as the clear frames and stickers
which I used for the welcome home sign.
These wonderful woven placements I found at JYSK
and were the perfect color.
I layered them and just tucked under the ends
on the pink placement to allow
the orange placement to accent.
And added some houses
to complement the theme of home
which I found at the local thrift store.
I used simple white dishes
to allow the pink and oranges to shine.
The napkin and napkin ring are both from Pier 1 Imports.
And the tealight holders were from Dollarama.
The glasses I bought at a clearance sale from Stokes last year.
I just love the pattern on them.
I added a few pink daisies,
which are my daughters favorite flowers.
And my "Welcome Home" tablescape was complete.
Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the look on her face when she saw it.
She absolutely loved it!
And that's what I love about tablescaping -
seeing the joy it brings others :)
