I was so happy when we walked up to her tablescape and we found she won the big prize for her division!
That's right, she got 1st place and wins the money prize!
We talked about it before we went down there and I explained that it would be ok if we didn't win. It was just fun being able to do this together. Plus, neither of us know anyone else who has ever entered anything before the fair.
But, when we walked up and saw she got the blue ribbon and then the ribbon for winning her division we both were so excited!
She is a lot like me and loves to set a nice table. She has always helped me when we have family holiday dinners. She likes to play with dishes like me.
She asked if one day she could have my dishes so she could continue to set pretty tables when I'm tired of doing it.
I told her of course she can have everything. Whenever she wants them they are hers.
I'm so proud of her. She picked everything out herself and learned the proper way to set the table and even measured out how far from the edge everything goes. Yes, they are that picky at the Fair.
Congratulations Trinity! You did a wonderful job.
Oh and for those who wanted know...I took 3rd in the Adult Division.
I'm linking up to Susan's Tablescape Thursday. If you have not yet been there please stop by to see all the wonderful tablescapes throughout blogland.

Congrats to both of you!! It's awesome that Trinity won first place! I have never entered anything in a fair either, although I think I might this year. Jam, maybe. Anyway. Hopefully she enters something every year that she can - I think it's a great learning experience. I also love that she wants your dishes. That, to me, says a lot about her.
P.S. Why no pics of your tablescape?? ;)
Congratulations to both of you! you must be so proud of her!
Lovely! She deserves to win :)
I miss the OC fair so much (I used to go a LOT)
Congrats Trinity.
I remember those red flowered dishes. Neat.
I have the Easter bunny display tablescape in the amateur adult category.
It is so fun to do display.
Graciously,
