Tablescape
Monchéri cracks me up. He's learning English - well poco a poco (little by little) as we say in Spanish - and the other day he came up with this word tablescape. This one must be reading design blogs with much more avidity than I. Peevishly, I confessed the term was unknown to me. So here's to tablescape and tablescaping!
this custom made lucite table could be useful to put a glass or two but it's mainly filled with samples of my cards (from last Xmas season), bangles and a vintage bracelet
don't ask me why I added this collage...at the moment I thought it was funny
little shoe from one of the numerous shoe miniature shops in Elche near Alicante, famous for its shoe making activity. A mini guest soap from Guerlain is tucked inside of the shoe. What for ?...I don't know....
a collector's Evian bottle, the red mini is topped with a lighting ball bought at the V&A shop in London, a broken diamond cut crystal, a Christmas decoration and some of my designed cards from last summerand you do you tablescape ?
(can I see please)
edit to post and note to myself: I think it's time to rethink this tablescape...too crowded

I do not do them, how much can they endure in my home, but my little one does,he is not tidy but he has 2 perfect tablescapes with little toys, in his bedroom.
your tablescapes are so pretty. they remind me so much of modern art. i would love to walk into a modern art museum and see one of your tablescapes, stand in ponder. i love it. i'd want to touch the beautiful shoe, smell the guerlain soap. try on the bracelets and bangles...
The Lucky Bitch adds a perfect touch of humor and whimsy to your design.
Listen to your Cherie. He's in the know. There's a lady on the food network here in the states Sandra Dee. She is into "tablescapes" too!

I think I would have a miniature shoe tablescape, given the choice. Please thank Moncheri for introducing me to something new.
