Beauty and the Beast
And a table setting inspired by
a potential prince and his beautiful
and smart princess-to-be…
and smart princess-to-be…
Belle was just a girl dreaming
of something more.
The Beast?
Well, he needed to learn
a few life lessons…
Today’s storybook tableau tale features
indigo ‘Liberty Blue’ plates
found while thrift-shopping.
With swirls of flowers
as lovely as
those encircling
18th century French castles,
this table setting
is worthy of bringing
two people together.
Candlelight
a delicate bouquet
or two,
glasses for toasting,
and the delicate
clinking of silver…
clinking of silver…
{Could that be Lumiére?}

Flash forward… Furniture comes to life and
Mrs. Potts and her son Chip
the teacup
along with a
host of other fun characters
help
the Beast and Belle
find true love.
Chip: Mama, there’s a girl in the castle!
Mrs. Potts: Now, Chip, I won’t have you making up such stories. Now into the tub.
Chip: But mama!
Featherduster: Madame! There is a girl in the castle!
Chip: See! I told you.

| Tow little fairies visited our tableau offering good wishes and prayers. |
Did the Beast learn the lessons he
needed to know?
Compassion and selfless love ~ made a beast
into a man.
Did Belle get something more
out of life?
The chance of happiness in love and a
life’s shared adventures
sometimes is
just around the corner.
And where would this be if
all good fairy tales didn’t have
happy endings?…
As the music drifts in:
A tale as old as time, a table as strong
as thine… {apologies to Madame Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve}
Beauty and the Beast…
Later this week:
this “little beast” will be making his
premiere performance
in an upcoming article about alpacas.
{Isn’t he a cutie??!}
