Little Birdie Tablescape

It's been a while since I have done my weekly tablescape.  First it was all the holiday madness and then it was the wind and then the cold and I guess one of the main reasons was I wasn't feeling inspired by anything I had on hand.  So Saturday I ventured out to our new Home Goods which may be a curse instead of a blessing to find some new and up to date table linens.  What did I find?  Nada, zilch, nothing.
Again, I didn't have the time or the inclination to start running from store to store to find something that inspired me.  So upon browsing around, I found these fabulous bowls.  Aren't they gorgeous?  They only had two, but that's really all I needed to put this look together, and besides the bowls are the perfect size for my winter soups.

Everything else I already had, but these bowls really were the inspiration I needed.  Now I told you I was looking for table linens and I found none, and you may think my idea is cheesy, but once again I was smitten with yet another role of wrapping paper to use as a table runner.  Isn't this also gorgeous?  No different than using paper place mats; right?  It makes a stunning backdrop to my table setting, it's economical, and, better yet, no washing or ironing needed.

I only wish I had photographed the sides of the bowls for you.  You can catch a little glimpse of them in my next photo.  Now, as we junk'n girls go, you'll notice I had to substitute my pretty silver flea market spoons for a black spoon.  Reason being, I only shop at fine establishments like the local yard sales and the fleas, and these cute black utensils were missing the spoons.  What's a girl to do besides improvise?

Sometimes we need to think outside the box to find our inspiration and that's what this table setting is about.  Thanks for stopping by.
