My Favorite Way to Set a Table and My *# Birthday!

April 3, 2014  Tablescapes | Uncategorized

 

Table Runner Ideas - quick & easy way to get a unique look for your table for next to nothing! kellyelko.com

A few weeks ago, I turned *#.

So I invited best friends over to celebrate – because turning *# is definite cause for celebration!

 Faux Bois Table Runner kellyelko.com

It was a Kelly’s Favorite Things dinner …

my hubby whipped up margaritas, poured red wine, grilled filet mignon, roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts with bacon and finished with chocolate eclairs from my favorite local bakery.

 

Another favorite thing – a festive table.

So I unrolled some wrapping paper, added colorful napkins and a bunch of tulips – done.

I snapped some cell phone pics because who has time to break out a big camera when margaritas are waiting?

Love this table setting - the runner is gorgeous! kellyelko.com

What could be better?

 

P.S. I may be *# but I don’t feel a day over [email protected]

    Girl, you look FANTASTIC no matter what age you claim! Father Time has been soooo good to you~~I’m jealous! I’m even more jealous of that dh of yours, making you a dinner like that…wootwoot! Mine can scorch water, but his credit card is smokin’ (probably from overuse, hehe). BTW, that table looks marvelous, darling!
