It's great to be back and doing a post....It has been one of those hectic months with lots of spring cleaning and organizing.....Hosting Mothers Day (more about that later) for around 40 people and dealing with this annoying carpul tunnel in my wrists....isn't it always something....
Yes I finally got the Bee flatware and I have to tell you it is just so beautiful, the pictures aren't enough, they have a wonderful sheen and feel to them, love love them...they will go nicely with the bee things I have had for many years.....
I have had the Bee glasses for years, the small one is great for juices and the taller one for anything....

Well I didn't say I already had everything bees, when I was ordering the flatware I saw these plates and my heart just sank, you know I just had to have them...I thought I showed a lot of restraint with only purchasing dinner and salad plates......what do you think, don't you just love the honeycomb..the dinner plate with the honeycomb in the center.... wow
The salad plate with the raised bee in the center, love that.....
Don't miss the bee on the bowl........
Bee utilful napkin rings make their place with these napkins I made from fabric from the $2.00 fabric store...I also used Yvonne's tutorial on mitering the edges of the napkins, Yvonne's blog is Stone GableBe careful, you will get hooked on her blog, she does weekly menus and her tutorials are the best ever...
I love that Yvonne knows the correct size to make napkins, anywhere from 20x20 to 22x22 I have always made mine 20x20 and I appreciate her reminding me how to miter the corners, she has that tutorial on her blog on sidebar....Also a great shout out to Yvonne for those wonderful cinnamon rolls made from refrigerated bread sticks, I made them for Mothers Day and she was right, make sure you make a lot of them because they go like hot cakes....I will make them again and again, Thanks Yvonne...I will be attempting the daisy cupcakes from her shower party, can't wait....they are simply beautiful....
The place mats were a wonderful buy at the GW for 1.00 each, just right for the Bees...This place setting is for my sister Bobbie, she is having an operation tomorrow, wish her good luck and prayers, I know she will be fine...she is strong and has a wonderful supportive family....
I love the Rogers Silverplate water pitcher, also a good buy at the GW...I should have taken a before picture of it, it was so black with tarnish, love the beautiful shine....
The sweet little brass Bee napkin holders are from World Market, love their detail and love mixing the brass with the silver with the stainless....
Don't worry BEE happy.......
The Bee decanters are from Ross, love the way they match the Neiman Marcus plates, strange that one place wouldn't sell it all......
They were such a good price I purchased one large and two small. Although I don 't use decanters on my counters, I think they look great on the table and will be wonderful for flowers on future tablescapes...
Well you gotta have an orange tree, it is Orange County ya know ......I am always on the lookout for unusual things for centerpieces, you never know what will be just right till you try it.
The glass pitcher that holds the cranberry/raspberry juice is very old and don't remember where it came from, maybe a garage sale, it is a great size...
Of course we couldn't forget to mention Mr. S. after all he is my biggest fan and loves to have his place card on the table.....oh and don't worry he knows I am his biggest fan too......
The small little tree place card stands are from michaels.....
This has been a fun post with all the Bees, and whether you use them all on one setting or spread them around they are always fun to add to any setting....I would be remiss if I did not mention my dear friend Gloria @happy to be what a great lady and wonderful friend, she has the most wonderful antiques and stories that will keep you always coming back for more. She has been a little under the weather, I know all she needs is a shot of Wild Turkey and a little rest....take care Gloria and thanks for being such good friend and having a wonderful blog for me to run away to.
OK lets eat.....
Thanks for stopping by and spending some time AROUND THE HOUSE....I hope you liked the post, enjoyed yourself and maybe got some creative ideas for your next tablescape....Of course thank you my friend Susan @between naps on the porch for hosting her Tablescape Thursday, see you all again soon and remember DON'T WORRY, BEE HAPPY ....Phyllis
