The other day, my wonderful husband brought home some sunflowers for me and I thought they'd look nice in this black and white vase... and then, Voila! My tablescape bloomed in my head.
I was as happy as a pig in mud when I found the black and white damask salad plates at Marshall's...$2.99 ea.
I already had the tablescarf, stole it from one of my B&W bedrooms.
Tablecloth and napkins where "nabbed" on a Goodwill Hunting expedition. $3.60.
I decided to fold each person's napkin differently... what the heck!
The black octagonal soup bowls where also a GW find for .50 ea.
Now, if only I had just as much FUN cleaning and cooking , as I do tablescaping, I would have invited some friends over for dinner! :o)Nice thing about blogging is that when I'm ready to hostess a dinner party, I can just look at this post and it'll be a no brainer!
To see food that I would serve with this tablescape, go to , When Life Gives You Lemons....Eat Them!
Please enjoy more creative tablescapes over at Between Naps on the Porch!

I just did up two birthday baskets with black and white tablesettings in them amongst other things. It is such an elegant theme.
As a Santa collector of over 100 I think yours is lovely.
Wow! That is one beautiful tablescape. I can't believe how you lucked in to finding pieces here and there. It all came together so well!
Wow! This is absolutely one of the most beautiful tablescapes ever! I love how the yellow adds a hint of surprise to the stark black and white theme.
This is absolutely stunning. I love all the gorgeous black and white and the yellow is just the perfect accent. I can't believe you had a tablescarf to match the dishes. That is fabulous. Everything is beautiful. Hugs, Marty

I'm usually not a fan of black, but you have really made me change my thinking. You have the prettiest table I've looked at tonight! Beautiful!
Oh, how I love this tablescape! Your attention to detail is amazing, and the colors just pop. Those dishes are as cute as can be, and I love how you folded all the napkins differently. The centerpiece is great, too. You get a big A plus on this 'scape. It's perfect.

Hi Rose, The lemon is a beautiful choice to accent your black and white! I love every single detail! I love the pattern on the vase and your damask salad plates.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful table.

What a striking table with the yellow and black! You had so many things to tie it altogether and at such great prices! Sunflowers are one of my favs and yours look wonderful in that vase. Great touch with the lemons!

I just love the way you display your pictures, there beautiful! And the tablescape is absolutely great!
The black and white with a touch of lemon is stunning. Very nice photos and overall table.
I'm so glad I got by before we went out of town--I would hate to have missed this!!! I love it! The black and white is elegant and the yellow gives it that POP for fun! Isn't it a shame we're supposed to put food on these plates? :) --heck, throw a Lean Cuisine on there ( and have it with your lemon martini)!
I never thought black, white and yellow could look so good together!! And it is amazing how your plates are almost identical to the tablescarf you had!! Each picture is so pretty. So much detail and so classic.
Bravo!!
