Tablescapes, Postcards from Paris
I’m sending you a Carte Postale [postcard] from Paris
Envoi de fleur [sending flowers] aussi [also]
Some of us are longing for a breath of Spring right now
and perhaps a ride on the Grande Roue Paris [Big Ferris Wheel] or Air Chaud Ballon [hot air]
Let’s dream of Springtime in Paris
Pastries and flowers, little things can be so important in life…
Spring is all about filling your days with sweet dreams and bicycle rides
These lovely handmade napkins were gifted by a VIF [very important friend]
Michelle is very creative and crafty, and makes amazing things with her Silhouette
These napkins are just perfect for this “patisserie” party
and the best thing about this Petite Fantiasie [little fantasy]
is that the faux [fake] sweets are calorie free!
Indulge!
Enjoy!
It is simply eye candy!
No trips to the gym, you are just dandy!
Toast to this fine day~
A breath of springtime is coming your way!

Such a fun trip to Paris via your fantasy table Jenna! I love your whimsical gifted napkins and your inspiration plates. Merci for a calorie-free treat. ♥
Bonjour Jenna, Nothing like springtime in Paris and your pretty table has me dreaming of Paris! So many pretty details, I love the plates and napkins and of course your patisserie box. Thanks for sharing your creative table.
Thanks Emily! Let’s hope the snow and ice stay away!
Beautiful, I pinned to my tablescaping board xo
Thanks Katherine 🙂
You are so sweet to me, thank you for that. Love doing anything I can for my friend. 😘. Looks great.
Same goes for me! Thanks so much Michelle~
Stopping by from A stroll Thru Life’s Blog Hop and your little trip to Paris fits right into the French class I’m taking this spring. C’est magnifique.
Très bien, Cynthia!
Sweet!! When I was in college I actually spent the month of March in Europe and enjoyed several days in Paris. It was lovely!! Thank for bringing back some wonderful memories.
Thanks for linking up your lovely tablescape at Project Inspire{d}!
Thanks Diane~how wonderful to spend a month in Europe for college!
Jenna, I love those plates! If only I had room for more dishes, I’d be running to HB tomorrow in the ice and snow. Your flower ribbons are so pretty.
Your table looks beautiful! Love your china and napkins!!
I don’t even have to taste anything…your table is an indulgence in and of itself! I love those Paris plates, and the napkins are splendid! Does your friend share her silhouette patterns? Those scrolly utensils are so YOU! (But, I would love them, too. 😉 ) Your plate stack ribbon detail is so pretty.
thanks Kim, Michelle does a lot of crafts for friends and home shows, not sure what you meant by does she share? She would be happy to make anything you’d like~ just shoot me a private email if you’re interested in communicating with her~ thanks so much for the kind words!
Fun decor…Paris is always a good idea! Thanks for sharing with the Thursday Blog Hop!
Ooh I love those dishes! Those napkins and the centerpiece make it so Parisian!
Absolutely beautiful tablescape! You have paid much attention to the details. Just lovely. Valerie
Great napkins! So fun!

How much fun is this table! And I even got my fill of sweets without gaining any weight. And makes it all the better.
Whimsical and fun table…love those postcard dishes!
What a fabulous table! I love those postcard plates and the lovely napkins that your friend made.
Hi Jenna – I love this tablescape! It reminds me of the 24 hours I spent in Paris on a beautiful spring day! Hugs, Holly
