Entertaining {A Polka Dot & Preppy Table}

May 13, 2013 by Courtney 18 Comments

Happy Monday! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Mother’s Day. We loved hanging out as a family and really enjoyed a great weekend with both friends and family. My hubby and kiddos were very good to me. I even scored a hand made clay necklace in the shape of a tulip from my daughter. She knows me well! Last night we had the family over and I put the napkins from Anthropologie to good use. I ended up going with a colorful and preppy table where the napkins served as cheery chargers. The stripes and polka dots remind me of Kate Spade. Here is a peek before the evening started. polkadot … IMG_1105 … IMG_1106 … IMG_1113 … IMG_1133 … monogram   …   IMG_1160   I kept things simple with a vase of tulips {thanks, hubby} and roses from the yard. The monogram tags I created using Microsoft Publisher and the napkin white napkins were wrapped in a band of washi tape. The polka dot napkins {used as chargers} are from Anthroplogie and the striped tablecloth is from Ikea. I actually have plans to turn it into pillows for my daughter’s new room! IMG_1167 … IMG_1161   … stripe1 Hard to believe it is already Monday! Anyone else feel like they need another weekend?! Here’s to a happy and healthy week ahead! e n j o y  y o u r  d a y   **Linking up to the Kate Spade Summer Soiree Link Party!!!!

    What a beautiful table, just gorgeous. Your colour and pattern choices just draw you in and make you pull up a chair. As a fan of polka dots and stripes myself, looking at your pictures just make me grin from ear to ear! Great job!
