ACS Think Pink Tea 2011 ~ Burgundy and Pink Tables.

This is it. ~ Here are the last two tables

that I have photos of from

the ACS Think Pink Tea for this year.

This hostess always decorates

two tables. Both of the tables

in today's posts are hers.

The jars at each place setting

 contained a selection of tea bags.

I like how she tied the crystallized sugar

 stir sticks to the jars.

There's also delicate silver spoons

tied to each tea pot.

The chrysanthemum plant stand

holds an extra surprise.

There's a $50. gift card to spend

at Home Depot.

  Fuzzy pink boa's draped on each chair.

How fun.

There's a silver spoon for each guest

on this table as well.

The napkin rings are bracelets.

Some were made with pearls,

some with beads, and my 

favorites were made with crystals.

  

The pink wire dress form

was adorned with vintage finds ~

a hat, purses, and jewelry.

~~~

So that was it,

with the exception of two other tables. 

One was a  dark burgundy and black

table that didn't photograph clearly.

The other table ~~ um, I didn't even

take a photo of  it.

It was one from the ACS Thrift Store.

The centerpiece was a rather ordinary looking

stuffed bear sitting there all by itself. 

 The table was set

very plainly... 

 and I never got a photo of it.

I wasn't thrilled with the table... sigh.

Very few people slipped their

raffle tickets into the jar on the table.

SO..  not too many  people (perhaps 10)

 were in the running to win this bear.

Turns out, that bear

which had been donated to the thrift store,

was a rare one... worth approx $300 ~ $400.

I wish I had taken it's photo now

just to remember what it looked like.

You just never know what you'll find

at the thrift shops, and yeah ~

I did judge a book bear by it's cover.

Take care,

and have a wonderful

Happy Thanksgiving.
