Sister Act Elaine!

My sister, Robin, and I decided to have a little extra fun this week. We both bought the same appetizer plates a couple of months ago, and challenged each other to come up with a tablescape using them as the inspiration. We did have a rule limiting ourselves to just black and white. Here is the little plate that started it all!

I hope you enjoy the tablescape I came up with!

Two things I didn't want you to notice--our outdated faux brick vinyl

floor and the leaves that come in with the dogs! Oh well, we're friends, right?

As you have probably guessed, the centerpiece came

from my yard! The leaves were cut from tissue paper.

I used my new silver placemats from Z Galleries.

I paired solid black napkins with print ones I made.

I did add a bird or two.

Let's see what's on the menu. Of course, I stayed with the bird theme. If you don't eat fowl, you are out of luck. The love birds in a cage are a stamp I found at Michael's.

The candles are wrapped in scrapbook paper.

Keeping with the rules, I even hung a black and white Picasso.

Time to light the candles.

I took a few shots after it got dark. Everything was sparkling!

I hope you enjoyed my half of our sister act. Robin and I kept our tablescapes

secret from each other, so as I am writing this, I have not seen hers!
