I laid out the table in two different ways as I moved things around to get my photo's. This is the first one.......chairs are located in the corners of the table. |
This way the chairs are side by side and across from each other. |
Place settings consist of a bunny plate.......pink lace cloth napkin with a tea cup napkin holder.......and a vintage water glass. |
I have a paper bunny napkin an small fork to serve dessert. |
This is the other style place setting where I used a different bunny plate. |
The charger is the plain white bunny plates that you have seen me use in many of my tablescapes. |
Now for some close ups of my mud pies, cakes, and loaf cakes. |
After I painted the styrofoam a dark brown dirt color, I frosted with sheet moss, and added dry flowers and fillers to the top of each creation. |
I placed my round pieces of foam in small metal pie plates, the rectangle pieces went into small loaf pans. |
Miss Penny this goes to show you can make anything pretty. Mud pies ....they look good enough to eat & I love the moss on them. The pink water hose ...who would ever thought about doing a center piece with it(lol) It is BEAUTIFUL. Wouldn't it be pretty laying out side next to you pretty pike flowers. I love it. A job well done. xx Lou
ReplyDeleteOhhh... The mud pies are amazing. You are very talented and always very inventive

A pink water hose centerpiece that looks pretty. Great novel idea, I have never seen a pink hose and if I did I'd own it. Everything about your home is feminine. Your friends must love an invite to see what you've been up to. Lovely tablescape. The little bunny plate with the glasses are my favorite and those mud pies with moss are something else as well.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely exquisite - - makes me sigh!!! A lovely, lovely tablescape.
ReplyDeleteI've just had a giggle over this---on my morning line-up I came straight from "Happier Than A Pig In Mud" to HERE for the most charming mud pies and pastries I've ever seen. Not since the time we stripped my Mammaw's Cleome plant for all the blossoms to decorate for a Doll Wedding reception, not to mention cooking all the little "peas" hanging from the plant, has there been such attention to the celebration of MUD.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely whimsically perfect. And I thought I'd never see another of "my" little pink glass cake-stands---mine came from a yard sale, I believe, and it came with a half-size cake server, so I bought it for Sweetpea's small tea parties. It usually is topped with a couple of cookies or a Little Debbie or two for an impromptu cuppa, and now it takes center stage for the main event---lovely.
The pink hose is calling me, as well.

Adorable! Yes please share the tutorial on the "art" of making mud pies!
ReplyDeleteYou never fail to amaze me!
ReplyDeleteThis has to be the MOST FUN post you have ever made. And, my Dear---you have made lots of fun post, love this--the creativity of it all. Grins, may have to adapt this if I can find a yellow hose somewhere! Grins and thanks, Sandi
ReplyDeleteOf course, you must server real muddies with coconut frosting...and marzipan critters. Hmmm===
ReplyDeleteYour table looks beautiful and I love those bunny plates you have !
ReplyDeleteWonderfully whimsical tea party! And I'm captivated by your centerpiece!

How creative using a pink hose for an Easter basket/planter! The ideas you come up with are so amazing! Your table setting is so cute and whimsical. Love the bunny plates, the little fairies and bunnies, and absolutely love the mud pies/desserts you made! I really can't believe you made those from styrofoam. The texture on them makes them seem quite real. Fabulous Spring/Easter table decor.
ReplyDeleteI adore the mud pies honestly all the ideas from the hose to the bunny plates are wonderful
ReplyDeletea great work :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea for a centerpiece! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!

ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day!!
I love your mudpies; now I have to be on the lookout for some holey styrofoam. I upcycle the smooth stuff for my silk flower arrangements; glue Spanish moss to the top a dthge stems finish holding it in place. I'd love to see another arrangment of dolls having a teaparty with your mudpies like we did as kids. Just too cute!
