  • This is what we started with. Our birdbath had taken a tumble shortly after we got it, and stayed in pieces for three years until recently when my husband glued them back together with some clear silicone.

and matching napkins at Burlington Coat Factory.
I paid $9.99 for the tablecloth and $2.38 
for the 4 pack of napkins!

purchased at an estate sale.

Candlewick & Paisley

I love my Candlewick, My first pieces were given to me when my maternal grandmother passed away nearly 30 years ago. 30 years since I began adding to my collection and this is my first tablescape spotlighting it.
