“Hey Gigi, do you want to play Barbie’s with me?” CC asked
“Hmmm…you know what, Mr. Rex is coming to dinner tonight
His birthday is in a few days, why don’t we set a special table…”
“Ohhh, that would be fun, I love to decorate!!” she said
“Mr. Rex loves to fish,
so let’s use our fish plates and have a fish theme,” I suggested
“And we could put birthday stuff at his place!” exclaimed CC
In no time at all, we had a festive fishy table!
We used sunflowers and a large hydrangea for a simple bright centerpiece
It was nice and low, so the conversation could flow!
It is perched on a fish platter,
with fish everywhere, all a scatter…
Fish are on the plates and glasses,
even the napkin rings had a fishy zing!
We put a birthday plate and pail at the place of honor
A garland of flags and a birthday hat,
Mr. Rex will certainly know where he will be sat
Candles on his glass and plate,
Just perfect for his birthday cake!
I highly recommend a tablescaping assistant,
Determined to make everything perfect, CC was very persistent!!
Juicy Details
I painted the fish glasses after I bought the plates and pitcher 5 years ago {HomeGoods}
Painting fish is easy peasy, an almond shape, and eye and a fin or two… just be sure to use paint made for glass, that can be cured in the oven to make it waterproof, like this DecoArt Glass paint here
