Hi everyone! Are you ready for Father's Day? I put together this table in preparation for Father's Day. Hopefully, our weather will hold and we will be eating deckside this Father's Day! The big letter "L" is for my husband's last name that we all share. Come along deckside for this Father's Day Tablescape.
We are celebrating Father's Day with "Lawnmower Cupcakes." Being outdoors and having a nice lawn has always meant a lot to my husband. I saw these cupcakes on Family Fun's website and knew that I would be making them for Father's Day. On the actual day, I will be making some homemade ice cream that my husband loves. He keeps asking me if I have put the ice cream recipe on my blog. I haven't posted it yet, but I will be posting it soon.
This is a photo (pre-digital) of my husband and our son while mowing the lawn. Yes, my husband DID have a rope and was pulling Skyler on his "big wheel" as he mowed!
In one home we lived in, my husband had a half acre lawn to mow. Some of the lawn was on a hill and it was quite a job to mow!
The cupcakes were easy to make!
I love the black and white napkins with the black plates and the green salad/dessert plates. I think it makes a fun and hopefully manly combination! I scattered some M and M's on the plates for fun.
I hope you have enjoyed our Father's Day Tablescape and that you enjoy time with your fathers, husbands, and father-in-laws this Father's Day!

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what we'll do for dinner on Fathers' Day - I'll just get home the night before. Dinner will be something on the barbecue and dessert will be one of HIS favorites!
GREAT cupcakes, Joni! A nice tribute to your husband and I love your table!

I love this table, very manly! The cupcakes are too cute. The photo of your husband pulling your child made me think of my Dad who made a little cart for the grandkids to ride in when he mowed the yard on the riding lawn mower...thanks for bringing back a memory.
ReplyDeleteJoni, those cupcakes are darling! What a cute idea, and you've carried it out beautifully. I also love the outdoor setting -- the black and white with green looks sharp! I know your husband will appreciate your efforts!

ReplyDeleteHow funny, I did not cupcakes last year and am trying to find something for this year. I may just do them again. Your table is wonderful. I love those B&W napkins -- very Father's Dayish.
ReplyDeleteJoni, we once lived with a 3 1/2 acre lawn- it took 4-5 hours to mow and Ray LOVED it!!! It's a guy thing :) Love your table- my kids would inhale the cupcakes
