PIGEONS, that is....:))
Now, I ask you...
is THIS PLACE CARD not one of the cutest you've ever seen...??
OOO,
and notice the NAME on this card....
EXCUSE MEEEE while I FALL IN LOVE !!
This cute idea came from COUNTRY LIVING magazine...
boy, I just LOVE that magazine.
At the risk of being run out of Blogland on a rail,
I will take this time, ladies and gents,
to say that I've never, EVER used PLACE CARDS at our table.
But when I saw THESE CUTIES, I decided to make a couple.

I think they are just adorable...
and super, SUPER easy to make.
and super, SUPER easy to make.
You can make these, too, if you'd like.
Go to Country Living link and, using card stock paper, you can print two birds per page.
Cut out and fold in half as directed.
....using strips of paper 5/16" wide x 6" long, (I just eye-balled it)...
curl the ends around a pencil to get the curl you want...
Write the name you want, looping one end of the paper around the front leg
before sitting it on a plate.
They really are fun to make....
They really are fun to make....
You could print up a stack, go ahead and cut your little strips of paper ahead of time...
Then, just before your dinner, you can write the names and
be ready for them all....
:>)
These really would be cute with a
centerpiece of a
"nest under glass" along with more bird nests...or little bird houses....or ......
lots of ideas come to mind.
I'm using my mother's CLEAR GLASS VINTAGE CAKE PLATES
for chargers....I love 'em.
All my PINK roses are spent right now....
in between the last and the next blooming session.
So, only a few Apricot roses left...
WE NEED RAIN....!!!

Who SEZ you can't use PLACE CARDS and VINTAGE CHARGERS
for a bowl of
APPLE JACKS....???
It was fun having a cute table for our breakfast of CEREAL...:))

Too many people at our dinners to have place cards. Yet these are so cute that I will have to make some to use for other reasons such as gift tags or scrap booking. Thanks for sharing, have a sunny weekend.
ReplyDeleteBJ, I love to use place cards, though I rarely have more than eight guests at my dinner table. I just love showing my guests that I've set a place just for them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these cuties. Yes, they are one of the cutest I've seen. Definitely making these! Thanks for the heads up and the link, my friend. ~ Sarah
I've got to go find a Country Living now. They are darling and I like the Frenchy look. Don't know about pigeons on the dining table, though!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and I love you little restaurant creamers as flower vases!
ReplyDeleteYour place settings turned out cute BJ! Country Living is such a fun magazine:@)
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling idea...so cute! You did a fantastic job of recreating the CL table, BJ.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your new header & the whole "clean" look to your blog lately. Beautifully done!!
Hugs,
Rett
What a cute idea:) Have a blessed day dear BJ, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThose are cute! But really, I seldom get a post card. Where did you find those?
ReplyDeleteTHOSE are darling, bj. I just love them. I like things that are a bit whimsical and these are that! Hope you have a great weekend- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteGood work BJ. Like you I don't use place cards....but those almost get me starting.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Hi BJ! Oh, I love these and they are gawjus! :) You did good and made a pretty little table with them! I love me some apple jacks and haven't had any in some time!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you and yours.
be a sweetie,
Shelia;)

ReplyDeleteSoooo cute.
You have so much fun. :-)
Your lovely Emma. :-)
Our lovely Emma has a new boyfriend. And yes, her 'Nana' is silly enough to be thrilled. :-)))))))))))))
Absolutely love it, BJ! And it was an optical illusion for me. It didn't straighten out in my mind until I saw the second photo. How weird is that! I was seeing the white with the postcard tucked behind it (like the reverse of what it was!) :-) Have a happy day.
ReplyDeleteI did not see my name on one of the cute place cards. Course, if I were coming, I would find me a seat without a card at your table.
ReplyDeleteI love these birds, and a friend brought them to me a couple of months ago. I used the pattern and double sided paper to make more-- they are adorable
ReplyDeleteI am laughing myself silly thinking of the direction you could go for the next photo challenge. These are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThese are so darn cute!!! I would love to print these out!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
A very cute idea. Thanks for sharing this great idea. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteThose would be perfect for my next luncheon. And yes, I saw the name...VERY French. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never had an applejack in my entire..mmmmfffff years. I wonder why that is??
Happy Pink Saturday, BJ :) Beautiful pinks! ...such fun placecards!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Australia♥ ~Pernilla
Those are really cute place cards. Bet Mr. Sweet enjoyed them too. Your table looks lovely too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week-end.

Those are the cutest place cards! You always have such a nice table. I'm doing well some days just to get food on the table!
ReplyDelete~Adrienne~
I love this idea BJ. Thanks for showing us! Your table is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, bj! Your display is even cuter than the CL one. xo
ReplyDeleteBJ, you're a hoot! Love this, your creativity and your spirit! :)

I am totally smitten with the gingersnap/ apricot roses in your vintage restuarant pitchers!!! I have the pitchers (similar to those used in my Grandmothers Diner from the latter 40's early 50's) and we have the same hue roses!!!
Thank you for always inspiring!!!
Fondly,
Pat
