Vintage Strawberry Tablescape

Red and white summertime strawberries

 are on the table this week. 

I'm still enjoying the
picket fence table runner

 I MAY'd, so I'm starting there.

 The ric-rac trimmed strawberry placemats 

were made by my mother-in-law's 

church ladies group.

They made the candy striped napkins too.

They also made the coordinating polka dot
and strawberry hot pads and coasters.

I even have the matching aprons.

They handmade lots of goodies to sell 

at the church crafts fairs. 

Love those church ladies!

 This vintage strawberry jam pot also

belonged to my mother-in-law.

No one else in the family wanted all
this "old stuff".

You can see my old Singer sewing machine
table base.

I tied a red gingham checked ribbon to

 a plain glass votive and used a red candle.

White teapot and cow creamer.

I filled two old aqua Ball jars with fresh daisies.

A Longaberger coaster basket is lined in red and 

filled with strawberry coasters.

A Longaberger strawberry basket is filled 

with wooden strawberries.

A few extra strawberries are scattered on the pickets.

Ready for afternoon coffee and strawberry pie!
For breakfast have strawberry puff pancakes.

I thought the milk glass cake stand would look better

 with a ribbon running through the cut out design.

I have a shelf above the utility sink in the 

laundry room where I store large jars 

filled with all the saved ribbons.

I found one small spool of red with white dots.

 I wove the ribbon in and out and

 tied it with a bow. 

I can see changing out different colors of ribbon

 for all kinds of occasions. 

A little bit wider ribbon would work best.

Cheers!

Cranberry Glazed Chicken for dinner.
