How cute is this vintage OJ bottle cap lazy Susan? Brenda gives a very detailed tutorial so we can one of our own too!

You're Gonna Love It~Spring Edition

Hello! Happy first week of Spring 2016! After some snow last week we had a pretty spectacular weekend here at a mile high! But, being Colorado, more snow is predicted for later this week.  No worries, I am an optimist and I just know Spring weather just has to be around the corner!  How about you?  Are you anxious for sunny skies and warmer weather too? One way to keep warm is to party and Kim & I just love having you stop by to share your creativity!  


It's Time For 
The Features of the Week
Leslie, who blogs at Lamberts Lately, shared a really comprehensive list of ways to promote your blog and your blog posts, thus making her the most viewed last week.
I especially like #14 (wink)!

It seems like my favorite color this Spring is in the blue/ turquoise family so when I saw this tablescape from the gals at Home On The Corner, well, I just had to make it my pick of the week!

I am totally in love with the flatware used too!

Spring Tablescape Inspired By Diet Coke

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MyFavoriteIsAllMine #CollectiveBias

Recently I was grocery shopping at my local Albertson's when this display of the new colorful Diet Coke "It's Mine" bottles stopped me in my tracks! 
It appears that no two bottles are alike and Diet Coke has produced millions of designs!
Well I do love my Diet Coke and as I stood there looking at them I was inspired by a couple of them to create a Spring tablescape!

Now, I could have gone the "expected route and use the bottles as vases. But you know me, I don't do the expected and choose to use the colorful bottles as candle sticks. This way they become  more of the star of the tablescape and not just regulated to the background.

I wanted to mimic some of the colors in the Diet Coke bottles I had chosen and luckily, by digging through my dish stash, I think I found the perfect "stack". The green tablecloth is perfect for the upcoming first day of Spring as are the yellow dinner and salad plates.

And although my tablescape is colorful and fun, I also wanted it to be a bit romantic, thus the lacy white chargers and napkins.

Even the centerpiece, filled with grocery store marked down flowers, looks fabulous between my "candle sticks"!

Placing candles into the top of the Diet Coke bottles was so easy. Once lit, they became dramatic!
