A "Tweet" Tablescape with Turquoise & Chocolate

While on a routine visit to my local Dollar Tree I stumbled upon these beautiful
turquoise dishes that are trimmed in chocolate brown.
I knew immediately that I just HAD to have them so, in the cart they went!  

I then turned the corner to go down the next aisle and what did I see next? Grapevine wreaths!!
All of a sudden the entire tablescape came together in my head lol....SO, into the cart goes the grapevine wreaths along with the dishes
.

I already had these sweet little bird napkin rings. 

On a visit to Michael's I found these darling little nest tea light holders and with the sale they were having they were only $1.39 each. I love how they illuminate off the inside of the bowls when they are lit. 

My turquoise candle holders were purchased at Goodwill for $1.00 each, I have had them for about a year now.  

This is another shower curtain disguised as a tablecloth.
(it was purchased at Target) 


I'm thrilled with how "tweet" it turned out.

Thank You so much for stopping by and I hope you have a blessed week!

This week I am joining the following parties:
