My daughter had fun setting up my first tablescape, and the theme is French, bien sûr.
The runner is really a red toile tablecloth that I made a few years ago and we folded it to the size we wanted.
I really love my chargers.....$3.86 each at Walmart. What a deal! I got 12 because we have a big family! My dishes are Italian Countryside, but we won't tell the French!
My compote was a recent find at a flea market - only $13....and the roosters were a gift from my sweet daughter (a few years ago).
I had some left over black and white paper napkins and we put them in a napkin ring that says "Monsieur". There is also a "Madame" napking ring on the table.
Got a set of coaster from a tabac in the airport as I was leaving and trying to spend the last of my francs (It's been a while...euros
One more look.
Another day I added more fruit....then I put red plates under the chickens...than I added brass candlesticks. Hmmmmm.......
Let's move those candlesticks. I'll be interested to see if daughter approves or moves it back like it was to begins with...hee hee hee!
Okay, I'm ready for some "quiche, du pain et de la salade." Bon appétit!
Be sure to visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch and see who else is participating in Tablescape Thursday! à bientôt.....Linda

Those brass candlesticks....of course you wait until I'm gone and can't take them off of the table! You know what might have been pretty are some hurricane globes. Just a thought. Looks lovely! : )

Salut Linda...Mes félicitations! Bien Fait! On ne dirait jamais que c'est la première fois. J'aime bien la nappe en toile, bien sûr! Et les ronds de serviette...qu'ils sont si mignons! J'adore tous...bisuos...Debbie
I really like your centerpiece. Fruit is always appropriate, at least to me. The woven placemats look perfect. The coasters fit right in with the whole tablescape. I absolutely adore a runner on the table so you can still appreciate the beauty of the layer underneath. Wonderful presentation.
Beautiful table! I love your table runner and those roosters! I'm a roosters kind of gal myself! LOL
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Beautiful tablescape. I especially love the compote and the darling roosters. Hugs, Marty
Aren't tablescapes fun? This is my first time posting one too. Yours was really lovely and I bet you'll be getting a lot of use out of that pretty white compote!

Lovely table. I like the idea of folding the tablecloth for use as a runner.
