I am hooking up with Susan at
Between Naps on the Porch for another wonderful
Tablescape Thursday. Today I am going to tell you about a baby shower that my daughter had for her friend at our home. My daughter with a friend's help put together a menu, games, and party favors for this wonderful day. Their theme was Mommy's "Little Pumpkin". It was given in November of last year and I have been just waiting for fall to share the
tablescape with you.
As you see here, I love adding layers to a party
tablescape it makes it more interesting and you fit more food items on the table. Of course, lots of pumpkins, baby teddy bears covered the table.
This cute little bear was the centerpiece for the table. He was bought at Pottery Barn kids and part of the money that was paid for him was donated to a children's hospital. I thought that was perfect. I also like to add picture frames with family photos to the table to make it personal.
I took small square boxes and created some baby blocks wrapped in orange tissue paper. There are clothes pins in one vase for one of the games to be played at the party.
Here is a close up of the table and pumpkins. I also used ribbon, fall leaves and colorful fabric to create the levels and interest.
We also decorated with a clothesline filled with baby clothes and the baby's last name to welcome the baby.
This was a cute little t-shirt that I could not resist.
This was the mom's chair for opening gifts. It was so nice outside we actually sat outside to eat and open the gifts.
This was the dessert table. We had a cake, a fruit salad and cookies. I love putting apples in the tall vase.
Decorated in the same manner with a center pumpkin, leaves trailing down to the wonderful desserts.
This was the cake. Unfortunately it was ordered before the theme and color scheme was picked. It was still cute.
Well I hope you enjoyed my
tablescape Baby Shower. We enjoyed decorating and hosting the shower. Do come back again soon and enjoy all the other
tablescapes at
Between Naps on the Porch. Thank you to Susan for hosting another great one!
Expressively,
Sofia
This is my neighbor's front yard welcome and front porch. Quite a difference from mine. Much more freightful. Which do you prefer, festive or freightful? I know my choice!

I also tried to spruce up the top of the computer cabinet. I added pictures of my children, a frame I got for free, which a printed an S for my name and put in it. Also the hat box which I already had, a white final also in my home not being used and my new favorite Party Planning book.
I decided to update the iron and finials to fit the decor in my home which is Italian/Mediterranean country. So I went to Home Depot, of course and started with two cans of espresso color spray paint. After I was done with that I still was not happy with the color choice.
So back to Home Depot, and Michael's to find a Bronze spray paint and a Copper Spray paint. I started to mottle the sprays together to give me a patina of bronze and copper over the dark brown. It gives a lustre to the plain brown paint. It is hard to see the colors in the picture but it works, especially with the new finials I found at Calico Corners for 50% off for two.
In this photo you can see the bronze and copper patina a little better.
I hope you enjoyed my transformation so far. Now if I can just find some bedding! I'll just keep looking. Keep your eyes looking for me also. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out Susan at Between Naps on the Porch and Rhoda at Southern Hospitality
