Welcome to the 843rd Tablescape Thursday! When Norma has friends over for dinner, she always makes the evening feel extra special with decorations that hint at what’s to come. For a recent dinner party with an Italian theme, Norma decorated her front gates with green, white, and red flags, the colors found in the Italian flag.
Norma said, “I told my friends they were coming to an Italian restaurant. I put the bunting on the gates as a welcoming touch, just for a laugh!”
I love the colors in this centerpiece, so festive and fun!
Such a unique candle holder!
Norma said, “The twisted Chianti bottle and the oil and vinegar (visible further down) came from the charity shop.”
Love the oil and vinegar bottle! So unique!
In keeping with the “Italian Restaurant” theme, Norma placed a prominent number “1” in the center of the table, representing Table 1. Ha! Love that!
Norma said, “I used napkin rings in the three colours of the Italian flag.”
Thanks so much to Norma for sharing this festive Italian-themed table setting! I know her dinner guests must have loved this so much! Looking forward to the beautiful table settings linked below for this week’s Tablescape Thursday!

Such a fun and festive table! Thanks Susan~
I love the chianti and oil and vinegar bottles. So unique. All the little touches like the ribbon on the spoons and the bunting on the gate tie it all together and show her guests the thought she puts in for them. Thanks, Norma and Susan.
Mangiate! Buon appetito con buoni amici!
“Bellissimo!!” franki
I like the idea of a visual greeting at the gate! A fun table with fun items for conversation. What was on the menu?
Norma emailed me to let you know that she served: Minestrone Soup, Chicken Cacciatore, and Tiramisu. Sounds amazing!
That Norma! So creative! Beautiful table. I can smell the garlic now. I must have an Italian dinner soon! Thanks Susan.
I’m also curious about the menu! Amazing that a few–creative and well-placed items–enhance the theme and festive occassion.
Norma just emailed to say that she served: Minestrone Soup, Chicken Cacciatore, and Tiramisu. Yum!
How fun Norma. I was looking for the musician playing nearby.
Being Italian, I totally loved this table! What a fun idea. The menu sounded delicious too. Buona sera!
Susan, I’ve had a difficult time reaching you so I’m commenting on this post. Can you link the cabinets that are in your garage in the Georgia house please?
Thanks
