On this past Friday I was busy around the house entertaining my 13 year old grandson who happened to be here for the purpose of seeing an oral surgeon about some wisdom teeth. All day Mr. B. had worked in and around the yard, doing a little planting and cleaning up from the winter.
About 6 o'clock in the evening, I knew he was in his office so I took his a little refreshment. Walking into the room he asked me if I had seen "his" tablescape. WHAT was he talking about???? Of course, I replied that I had not seen his tablescape and laughed. He reponded that he was not kidding at all. It seems that he has been watching me do the tablescapes for my blog and he decided to do one on the patio. ( I must add that Mr. B. has never even set a table to assist me.....he helps in other ways).....I could hardly get to the patio fast enough.....running all the way, anxious to view "his" tablescape.
Here it is..........
Keep in mind that Mr. B. did all of this on his own....with no help, he purchased everything you see in each photo. I was told that he did his shopping at Wal Mart.
"Perhaps imagination is only intelligence having fun." ~George Scialabba
I must admit that Mr. B. did a very good job with his first (and probably his last) tablescape! His choice of color, texture, design, and repetition was excellent, and his intelligence let his imagination run wild and had tons of fun putting it all together.
Thank you ever so much for stopping by to visit. It is always such fun for me to read your comments and get to know you a little better. Come back any time and............
Have a great week and until next time.......Tea Party Everyday......why not?

What a nice surprise!! Mr.B's tablescape is fabulous! I love his color choices and he mixed the patterns really well. I hope this isn't his last tablescape.. he's a natural.
I love your table setting and centerpiece. This really makes me feel as if summer is on the way. Our temperatures are supposed to drop 40 degrees overnight. This setting has me longing for the warm days of summer. I'd love to sit here with a tall glass of lemonade!
Boy have you got a keeper. He did a wonderful and loving thing. He had a good teacher. My grandson did the same for his wife and even cooked her dinner. Give him a hug for me lol
Dear Phyllis,
Such a lovely table, just a perfect day table.
Love the birds.
Thank you for sharing.

Mr. B has obviously been paying more attention than you thought...He did a great job! What a nice surprise for you. Very special.
WOW, I absolutely LOVE all the color! What an inviting table - what a sweet and wonderful thing for him to do!
I think he did a great job! What a sweet surprise for you! I love his choice of colors. How sweet of him to go and buy all he needed to put it together!
Maybe I could borrow Mr. B so he could teach my husband how to set a table right down to the centerpiece! He did a fabulous job, not only setting it, but purchasing those great dishes...he definitely is a keeper.
Have a great weekend, Phyllis!
He really did a great job. The colors, the flowers, all of it. Dianne
He did a FABULOUS job!! He must have been taking notes from you! This is so sweet that he did this!
Kudos to Mr. B! Great use of color and texture...you'll use this dinnerware all summer. Thank you for sharing his charming design. Cherry Kay

Good for Mr. B!
Awe...how sweet this is and it just looks adorable!
I just went through some of your posts' and saw your Cranberry glass water goblets and they are lovely. I was unfamiliar with Cranberry glass or "Coin Dot" but I love the whimsy of it along with the spring flowers.
Thanks so much for stopping by, lovely to meet you!

Looks like Mr. B has been taking notes! This is a wonderful table. Love his choice of colors and mixtures.
