Tablescape Time~


There's something about tablescapes...

I love everything about them!

I think it is because I love to entertain~

From the minute I begin to plan...the fun begins, 

then I'm in a rare crazy mode!



This tablescape made it's debut at a wonderful ladies brunch~
What a fun time filled with so much laughter! 
That happens when you get friends together!
Oh yes, indeed!
 
So, do you enjoy entertaining and laughing with friends? 
And just get crazy?

Take A Peek - My Newest Treasure~




 This little showstopper was in my hand and purchased as soon as I could get to the register! 

I fell in love with it's simple and elegant design.  
My new little treasure is a Bridal Basket, I believe it to be Circa 1890-1900 

I've read that before the emergence of the bridal bouquet, brides and flower girls in the Victorian era carried wedding baskets down the aisle.  

Can't you just picture delicate little white roses placed in the middle of this sweet basket?

(Oh my goodness, I just get too excited about little finds, like this one!)

What caught my eye was the intricate raised embossed roses all along the rim.  Isn't it beautiful? Look closely at how deep the rose scroll work detail there is surrounding the entire rim of the basket, its amazing!  I'm crazy about the open ridge design along the bottom edge, it is just beautiful!


 Hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my newest treasure!



Joining in on the fun~

An Amazing Number 4 ~


Another special day in our family!

A BIRTHDAY!

Our little grandson is 4 today and 4 is fun!


His plan- 
Go to the ranch this weekend.
He'll ride his own little John Deere tractor. 
Ride horses, fish, hunt for arrowheads. 
Ride around in a big truck and follow his daddy everywhere!
Ride in the ranch jeep.
Sit in a blind.

Watch for all sorts of animals and count them.
With his own binoculars. 
 He will call the ducks at the lake! 



We will all celebrate with ice cream, cake and much more!

We will have a party that everyone will adore because 

Garrett is  

 an amazing number 4!



Happy Birthday, Garrett!


 
 
 
 
 
His sisters love him to pieces!!!
 
And
 
 We love you so much!
Nana and Pop
