To see lovely tablescapes, please go to Susans at Between Naps on the Porch.
Susan, you are such a great hostess for this event. Thank you.
I'm having a meeting tonight, and I will be serving dessert. For Tablescape Thursday, I am sharing a few photos from my dessert buffet table (without the dessert on it-couldn't let it all get stale before my guests arrive!)
I'm using my fun "ladies only" plates.
If high heels were so wonderful, men would be wearing them.
Work as if you don't need the money; love as if you've never been hurt; and dance as though noone is watching.
You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.
I've been on a diet for two weeks, and all I lost was two weeks.
A woman's work is never done, so why bother?
I just want to be wonderful!
Thank you so much for coming by to visit my blog. Click here to go to Between Naps on the Porch to see a LOT of wonderful tablescapes. laurie

Your buffet setting is very pleasing to the eye...and the setting in your home is very attractive and welcoming.
How sweet and rustic! I sure would love to sit here and share some dessert with you.
I love those plates and that table is so inviting! I'm invited, right? :-)
I love your tablecloth, it is simply gorgeous!
Adorable plates, and I love your round of napkins too.
That vase is very pretty!
Happy Memorial Day, Laurie!
* G' morning, Ms Laurie-girl~~~~ I'll bet Y*O*U slept well, w/ "YOUR" special "Arkansas Kris" being the winner of American IDOL last night!!! (Betcha you slept in TODAY, huh?!?!?!)~~~ KNOW yer on CLOUD 9!!!
And THIS looks as delightful, unique, creative n' fun as EVER!!!! (I ESPECIALLY adore the pic looking from the back of the table to that EVER-INCREDIBLE WALL of BOOKCASES that I love SOOO MUCH!!! Its SO DRAMATIC & WARM!!!
I have a feeling I don't need to say "Have a good day", as I just KNOW you are!!!

(P.S. Thanks for visiting CHEFSHARI... you'd LOVE her if you got to meet her!!! Appreciate it, gf!!!)~~~
Where did you find those plates? I love them! I also really love you napkin arrangement. Really cute idea!
Laurie, you always come up with the cutest things. I just love the linens, so pretty. Now as for the plates, they are the cutest things I have ever seen. Love them. What a great idea to use the two different napkins in the plaids and the fold them in such a pretty fan display. I think I will have at least one of everything you are serving, well maybe two. lol Have a great time, it looks fabulous. Hugs, Marty
Oh Fun! I want to come ... now just how long would it take me to get there from Virginia?

Oh how adorable! Everything looks so warm and inviting! Love seeing your bookshelves in the back ground! All the lamps casting a warm glow just look beautful! And, the setting..so rustic and WHY didn't I think of it first! ;) Nancy
I'm too busy looking at that beautiful room to notice your table. You have a lovely home. Yes, I see that pretty vase your centerpiece is in. That is something I would get. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Laurie, My comment is about your
huge room. No wonder you are able to entertain large groups of people. It looks like you have two tables ~ one in front of your fireplace and the other large one which you have decorated so cute. Love the two plaids together. So talented !
Wowsers Laurie...I've never seen that bookcase before either. Your table looks beautiful and I really love your plates too!
Laurie, I love your buffet tablescape! I adore the plates. I love your tablecloth and your napkin arrangement. So what's for dinner?
I have to say that your bookshelves in the background took my breath away. This must be your favorite room in the house. It's so cozy and inviting. Thanks for letting us in your beautiful nest!
Laurie, I know you are happy about Kris, and so am I. I love your tablescape, I have never seen those plates, so cute. What I liked best, was that gorgeous view of you gorgeous Family Room! I enlarged the pic, and it felt like I was there! Love Ya! Connie
I sure wish I was coming by for this! I loved this idea, and those plates--I will be on the lookout for those! Your containers for beverages are adorable.
Hi Laurie...Desserts are my FAVORITE foods! I love the idea of a dessert buffet...The tablecloth on the buffet table is wonderful & the way you created a pinwheel effect out of the napkins is so cute...Love it all! ;-) Bo
CHARMING!!! :) Thank you for sharing another inspirational tablescape! Have a FANTASTIC Holiday weekend! :)
WOW!! Everything is absolutely GOREGEOUS!! And those plates are hysterical!
