I had several piecesthat inspired this simple tablescape For Two I picked up this basket many years ago at a consignment store.I couldn't decide if the handle was wood or horn. With some help, I finally decided it is wood.  My son brought this adorable pitcher to me fromYosemite National Park. No, this is not a shoe for "bigfoot". I bought this wooden bowl/plate from the same consignment store.

First let me say!I have been a hunter and gatherer for more than fifty years. Others may say I am a pack rat. A while back I talked about downsizing some of my collections. I soon discovered that my daughters did not  have the same interest in collectibles as I.There were many items in my collections that would not work in their homes or with their lifestyles. They DID immediately let me know

This was my very first Tablescapein blog land! Originally posted on October 21, 2010 I was scared to death to put up a tablesetting. My photography has gotten a little better but not much. Since nothing was purchased specifically for that table and most of was bargain priced when purchased, I am posting this for The Thrifty Groove's Thrifty Tablescape Party as well as Sunday Favorites. ~~~~~~

One of my favorite ports of call on our recent cruise wasHalifax, Nova Scotia.That is becauseabout an hour's drive outside of Halifax is the beautiful little fishing village of Peggy's Cove. According to local legend Peggy's Cove is named for a young girl  who was the lone survivor of a shipwreck in the area during the 1800's. This is such a beautiful little fishing village, I see no need for

AUTUMN MANTELAND MORE!!I decorated the mantel several times today. As I was sitting in the den, Bob asked me what was wrong. I was staring at the mantel. I didn't like it. It had too much stuff on it. I took most everything off and started over. The only things that remained were the topiaries. I have had these ivy topiaries for many years. When I purchased them they were live ivy and a bit

My Son took this photo with his Iphone this afternoon.He was at a small private airport in coastal Georgia.Not sure if this is just a bad storm or what. We did have tornado warnings for that area this afternoon. Haven't heard anything on the news yet.Please pray for those in this area.

Sweet Ole Bob and my son are not fond of eggs. My son will ONLY eat an egg if it is concealed during the preparation of a dessert. Years ago I had to come up with a tasty, eggless potato salad that the entire family would eat.

At last!!More than two plus years! The hand trimmed border was a big deal in the 80's. It was an even bigger deal to my daughters. The oriental screen hides a window. The community architectural demons committee said it had to be there. Be damned what you have to do inside, put that window where they say!! Two years ago it looked like this! It was beautiful in the 80's but life goes on.

Margaret is a Survivor!This weekend, after a visit with my sweet friend Margaret, I decided to repost this tea setting again. You see, since Margaret's knee replacement last year, she was in a serious auto accident. She was hit by a police cruiser participating in a car chase. I won't bother you about what I think about police chases. You can guess, I'm sure. She had to have another knee

Sunsets are Healthy! Have you ever noticed what happens when you watch a sunset? Yeh, I know the sun disappears. What happens to you? You, get still. You get quiet. You focus on something pleasurable. You begin to take in the different elements of what your eyes see, the horizon, colors, shadows and so much more. Each of us becomes engrossed for the few moments during which this event takes

During our recent, five state. road trip we spent an afternoon in beautiful New Harmony, Indiana. As far as I know this bridge over the Wabash River is the only way into town. New Harmony is a small historical town with less than 1000 residents.  New Harmony, formerly named Harmony, was founded by the Harmony Society, headed by German immigrantGeorge Rapp (actually Johann Georg Rapp) in 1814.

We just visited the "GIRLS"My two awesome Daughters. It was sweltering in Savannah. It was time to "get outta town". When the "GIRLS" and I visit one another, there is always an exchange of goodies. Often it is dinnerware, curtains, furniture. This time a slot machine and a piece of Belleek went to one, French lace curtains and a vintage lace tablecloth to another.  Oh, I always get my share!

EVERYONE LOVES FRESH VEGETABLES!! I am no exception, so my daughter and I made a trip to the local Farmer's Market today. Is this not a sight to behold? We arrived early Thursday morning just after everything was displayed and ready for sale. Even if you didn't want to purchase anything the sight of all the colors intermingled was a work of art. We enjoyed seeing Heirloom Tomatoes. I had never

We hopscotched, ports along the Meditteran  coast before the six day crossing.

Today I am sharing some pictures of my living room. These pictures were taken before I knew to turn "off" the flash. Come on in and make yourself at home! The desk sits against  the left wall as you enter the living room from the foyer. The old spectacles on the bible belonged to Bob's Grandfather. These photos were taken at a previous Easter. Most of my photos from this year turned out blurred.

Somewhat, you decide!! I received three of these Amaryllis bulbs from my sweet MIL about 38 years ago. I think that makes them vintage Would you say they multiply like rabbits. For about 30 years I have been sharing these beautiful bulbs with neighbors and friends. You ride down our street in Spring and you see their relatives everywhere. Sweet Hazel, my MIL, gave me the Saint Joseph's

TIS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON! John 12:12-20 (King James Version) We have gone through a harsh winter. Many of us have suffered through horrific snow, ice and rain storms.
