Spring Dining Table

Thursday, April 12, 2012

I set our dining table simply for a spring dinner.  I wanted a soothing palette for a change!  I am serving a light dinner of fish tacos with key lime vinaigrette over slaw.  Yummy!

  32. Oh my I love that table cloth. I have something similar but your's is better because of the pom poms. Perhaps I need to add pom poms to mine. Such a pretty tablescape. And that vinaigrette sounds fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing at Mod Mix Monday.
