Before They're Gone

I was shopping this morning and stopped to look in the fresh flower section at the supermarket. I had yellow flowers on my mind, then I saw these white tulips and noticed the price was marked down to under $3.00 a bunch. Yes, they were drooping just a little but I thought they would look perfect in a vase. Into my cart they went along with a second bunch of them for the same price. Take a look at the tulips used as the centerpiece in my tablescape.

I just love how the tulips are drooping over the vase. I did cut the bottom of the stems as soon as I got them home for better water absorption but I don't mind their bending at all. They look quite elegant bending down.

I doubled my napkins and used a green one inside the yellow one for fullness. The napkin rings are a yellow flower with a green center.

Let's add some candles and think about the food and drinks for this evening.

We will start the dinner with a glass of wine and share our stories from the week. Next we will have a light salad, then I have chosen a meal from the Barefoot Contessa's menus. 

This family dinner Menu is:

Parmesan Chicken 

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Foccacia Bread 

Croissant Bread Pudding for dessert
