So many possibilities, and too neat to pass up, but I didn't need another candle holder.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I brought it home and put it in the closet knowing I would find a use for it in the future and then I came across these little terracotta pots I had bought to use on a tablescape. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then a "light bulb" came on..... I had a large planter in my yard full of Hens and Chicks that needed to be replanted and I could use something on a small wicker table I bought for my front porch. Maybe these little plants planted in these terracotta pots would make a cute Hens & Chicks garden....and they did.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had a roll of white stripped burlap ribbon I cut into strips and glued with E6000 around the top of the pots. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hens and Chicks are very easy to grow...a little water is all they need and they multiply so you can give them to friends. See the little babies hanging from the larger ones? You just snip them off, and put on top of moist potting soil. That's it. The slight pink at the base of the leaves is so pretty.</span><br />

And...it was so sad to have to leave the island and return to the real world, but it is always nice to pull into your driveway, see your house and know you are home.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I set a beach table to celebrate our time at the beach and all the fun we have there. Maybe we'll go back before the end of the year, at least that's what we always say when we're leaving.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I filled small shell bowls with seashells and put a little note in each one for every plate.

I was sooo excited...what a find. I picked up as many as I could carry in my arms since we were pretty far from her house and it was all up hill, but I'm planning on returning to the "gold mine" with something other than my arms to carry bottles.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It took lots of soaking and washing to get them clean, but finally....they were...well, almost clean. I put them in the window in our pantry/laundry room so I could see and enjoy them when I am doing the laundry. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, when some of my purple Irises were blooming, I thought they would be pretty in these old bottles sitting on my kitchen counter. Irises are beautiful, big flowers and these light purple were so pretty.</span></span><br />

I guess you would say it's a home away from home.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here are a few photos from the historic district referred to as the "Millionaire's Village." It is named this because from the 1890's until the 1940's the island used to be owned by the wealthiest men in America...Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, Pulitzer, Crane, Goodyear, and these are the homes they built to vacation in. They have since been converted to upscale hotels and luxury restaurants</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> for all of us to enjoy</span></span> .</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's an amazing place and I'm glad we're finally here.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As you might guess from the photos, there are not a lot of people visiting the island. It's very quiet and serene.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> The old Horton House, built in 1736, is in ruins now, but so neat to see. The island has many historical sites like this one.</span></span><br />

I set the table with pink and a few old rusty things. I found this really cute vase at a thrift store and the flowers on it reminded me of the rose campion growing in my gardens. So that was my starting point for tonight.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As you can tell by my tablescapes, I love to use books on the table. This lifts vases a little higher and sometimes we talk about what is in the books. It makes for some interesting conversation. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I almost let the strawberry season pass by without making my run of strawberry jam for the year...whew, that was close. My family loves strawberry jam and <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">we love to </span>visit our local fruit stand..<a href="http://www.strawberryhillusa.com/about-us">Strawberry Hill USA</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;">They have a fun, old-fashioned cafe and homemade ice cream parlor. Don't you just love the hand-made tin man and airplanes hanging from the ceiling? I may have to try one of these for myself. It would make a cute scarecrow.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">There's nothing better than toasted zucchini bread with a spread of strawberry jam. Here's my bread recipe:</span><br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;">In one bowl mix:</span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 C shredded Zucchini</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 2/3 C sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2/3 C oil</span><br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;">In another bowl mix:</span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 C flour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 tsp. baking soda</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp ground cloves</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 c nuts</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hand mix both of these bowls together and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. This makes 2 loaves.</span><br />

My husband loved this funky sofa fabric so it was our starting point. We collect oil paintings and we have lots of them in our family room. Because of this we thought we'd go for color. I painted the walls gold and took a large dry-brush to mimic the design of bamboo leaves.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We live in a very old farm house and our fireplace in this room hasn't been updated.

Fireworks, BBQ, family and picnics all add to a lot of excitement for our family. We love to have a special meal and then to go downtown and see the beautiful display of fireworks. We take our blankets and sit on an old railroad track.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So let me share with you our 4th of July table. We'll have BBQ, coleslaw, baked beans and Diet Coke with a little sip of bubbly. Doesn't it sound yummy?</span></span><br />

Especially if you need a certain color.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">While looking at some of my favorite blogs, I saw at <a href="http://thepaintedapron.com/">The Painted Apron</a></span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">that Jenna had made her own "fancy flatware" for her seaside table. Not only was her flatware divine, but her table was beautiful. I decided I wanted to give this a try for myself. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I used some old mix-matched flatware I had that was flat enough to glue on.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3SF3lSnYfxU/Uco55BsmgyI/AAAAAAAADOQ/RGk0dBHTnGo/s1600/8-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="638" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3SF3lSnYfxU/Uco55BsmgyI/AAAAAAAADOQ/RGk0dBHTnGo/s640/8-001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I decided to use small pebbles since a table setting I have in mind contains these colors. I purchased a small bag of pebbles from the Dollar Tree and E6000 glue from Hobby Lobby and I was set to go.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WMGHaSpToKo/Uco6dP2s7TI/AAAAAAAADOY/WRPmQiCW5eQ/s1600/7-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WMGHaSpToKo/Uco6dP2s7TI/AAAAAAAADOY/WRPmQiCW5eQ/s640/7-001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bygxn4uUyRs/Uco6fgDIzJI/AAAAAAAADOg/b2UB415MHn8/s1600/3-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bygxn4uUyRs/Uco6fgDIzJI/AAAAAAAADOg/b2UB415MHn8/s640/3-001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I glued the pebbles onto the handles of the flatware and gave them 24 hours to dry. This glue really holds them secure. I should have purchased clear glue instead of white, but you can't see it when I was finished with them.</span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jenna used a soft, 24 gauge wire on her flatware, but I decided to use raffia to keep with the natural theme. I didn't glue the raffia...I just wrapped it around each stone and then crossed over each one. I used 4 stones on the knives, 3 on the forks and 2 on the spoons.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The raffia tied very secure and these are easy to use. Can't wait to show you the tablescape I made these for.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You know...you get up early, put on your least favorite clothes, ball cap, a pocket full of ones and fives, and stop at McDonald's for a biscuit on the way. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I don't get to go often but when I do, I love it. At the one I went to lately, they always have people singing and picking.....this is a highlight, especially when you've been walking around for a while and need a Pepsi break. It's a small, local flea market so you can still find neat things, like this old soda dolly.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This was my find for the day. When I saw it, a cute bar to serve wine and drinks on my deck came to mind. I'm not quite sure how I will end up finishing it, but I couldn't wait until the idea came to me. I wanted to use it one night on the deck to serve wine. So....I quickly used a few things I had and made a temporary one.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I had an old black tray and a metal door mat that I used for the shelves. The metal door mat stuck out the side and was perfect to hold the wine glasses in a small metal basket.</span></span><br />

Sunshine and buttercups, baby chicks and summer squash. I love the color yellow and that's why my table this Friday night was all about yellow.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Many years ago I made this tablecloth and napkin set using a lemon cut in half, dried the halves and brushed with yellow and green fabric paint to simulate lemons and limes. I went all the way around the edge of the cloth and napkins. It has held up beautifully. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I also love using deep blue with yellow. I found this canister for my centerpiece at Miracle Hill. It was a bargain since it didn't have a lid and it gave me the starting point for my table.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I love, love, love blue and yellow together and since my flower vase was blue I used a hand painted bowl and teapot on the table as well.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The cute ice tea glasses came from the Dollar Tree. I think </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the lemon slices </span></span>have such depth.

The breeze seems to impart a deep down freshness that you can't get any where else. Most of my life I have had a clothesline of some sort, and there are so many different types to choose from for every yard or lack thereof.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Whenever I wash our sheets or blankets I hang them on the line to dry. No electricity involved and the crispness feels so clean.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We dry clean a lot of our clothes, but in between wearings, I hang them to "air-out." It's wonderful, like getting a free dry cleaning. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am fortunate enough to have enough space to have a line, but there are many options for small yards, decks, etc., if you don't have a lot of space.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">You can even have a retractable one. <a href="http://www.clotheslineshop.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code=C">Clothesline shop</a> has a very large selection to choose from and to get ideas from. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I also use my line to hang quilts on whenever we are having a cookout or outside party. It's a neat way to decorate and add a little country touch.</span><br />

A space that is mine, for my use only and I love it. It's nice to be able to organize all my projects, folders, recipes, etc...in one place that isn't stacked in someone's homework or work papers. So today, I thought I'd share it with all of you.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My husband, trooper that he is, built this little nook in a corner at the bottom of our stairs. It has plenty of storage space and is centrally located. I have four closed cabinet doors that hold all the messy stuff like phone book, office supplies, computer disk, books, etc..</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I found these red boxes on sale for 80% off at <a href="http://www.hobbylobby.com/">Hobby Lobby</a> and thought they'd be perfect for storage of small items, as well as the little baskets. I bought small blackboard labels for the front of the baskets and used numbers to organize them. I tied them on with raffia.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have this little red book that I keep all my ideas and things I would like to try to make, read, buy, etc...I've had it for a long time so when I saw the red boxes, it gave me my color scheme. I always have this book sitting on my desk ready to take notes. I have a small one in my purse just in case I'm out and need to jot something down. Guess I need to learn to use my iPhone for this, but I'm a little old school.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I also found this cute, small rooster bulletin board. It will be perfect to put up notes...that is if I can bring myself to cover him up. The pen and pencil caddy is really a utensil caddy I use a lot. It is very sturdy and the small size and color are perfect for my small desk. Guess I'll have to get another utensil caddy.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For supper we had omelets, oven-browned potatoes, country ham and biscuits made in my small muffin tin. We love the eggs from our hens. Home-grown organic eggs have a much richer and deeper flavor than store bought eggs, and hens are fairly easy to raise.</span></span><br />

They are a gold metal, and had photos cut from a magazine when I bought them. They had such potential.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QHsY9MqE1PM/UbkgFRVLcBI/AAAAAAAAC9g/Naz4srD9bR0/s1600/10-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QHsY9MqE1PM/UbkgFRVLcBI/AAAAAAAAC9g/Naz4srD9bR0/s640/10-001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I thought I'd paint them an off-white and then lightly sand the edges. I copied a page from one of my hubby's magazines, <a href="http://www.countrysidemag.com/">Countryside Magazine,</a>then copied pictures of butterflies on this page. I used a heavy card stock in a marble pattern. I cut out the butterflies to fit into the frames, put the glass back in, and it was as easy as that.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I had a wall in my hall bathroom that was small and needed a little something. The top of the bathroom wall is black so the frames stand-out nicely.</span></span><br />

I've just recently purchased a new dining set for my front porch from a neat furniture consignment store, <a href="http://featheryournestconsignments.com/">Feather Your Nest</a>. As soon as I saw it, I instantly fell in love. It was the perfect size and shape I'd been looking for. The only problem was the seat cushions were not the color I could use for my porch.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">They were however, covered very well. So...I got this notion that maybe I could paint them. Why not give it a try? I was going to recover them anyway. Maybe it would save me some time and money. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I mixed 1 part acrylic paint to 5 parts water. I thought this would allow the paint to kind of "dye" the fabric and let the pattern come through. I thought it would also leave the fabric softer to sit on...and...it worked.</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It took two coats of paint. I allowed it to dry in between coats and I like how you can see the fabric pattern through the black paint. And, at least for now, I can live with the solid black seats. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I am also thinking of lightly sanding the top of the table and staining a darker color or maybe painting with <a href="http://www.missmustardseedsmilkpaint.com/">Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint</a>. What do you think? I would love to have some advice to help me decide. I love the pattern of wood on the top but I'm thinking it needs to be restained or painted.</span></span><br />

Not too far from the house to get the food to the table, but far enough to feel we were on a picnic. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My mom has a beautiful pink Camellia bush growing in the edge of her woods so she let me steal a few of the pretty pink blossoms for our table. The table is set in the shade near a few rose bushes so we can enjoy the color and scent.</span></span><br />

When I got up to the tree this is what I saw.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">They stood so grand in the shadows. They took me to a place of make believe.....fairies and elves, woodland creatures and soft cool places. I don't know what it is about mushrooms that conjure up these images for me. Maybe it's because of where they grow, maybe because they are so interesting looking. Maybe it's because I just finished watching The Hobbit with my son...lol.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VQ2oEz47NlY/UZ1UG-WGRkI/AAAAAAAACss/sD9Fqmg7gZc/s1600/6-002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VQ2oEz47NlY/UZ1UG-WGRkI/AAAAAAAACss/sD9Fqmg7gZc/s640/6-002.JPG" width="478" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Not only did these beautiful little mushrooms (well, actually quite large mushrooms), cause me to daydream, they inspired a new arrangement idea. I love how nature inspires and connects me with interesting ideas.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, this is what I did. I purchased a package of Sculpey clay from Hobby Lobby and made two mushrooms to use in my arrangement. I shaped the clay and baked per the directions on the package. I then washed them in watered-down acrylic paint.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Next, I dug up some beautiful moss from under a tree. You can keep this moss in your arrangement for about a week. Just mist daily with water...then put right back under the tree where it came from.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's the arrangement. I found a quiet, little spot </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">on a small secretary</span> beside a reading chair. I used a clear bowl so I could see and enjoy the moss.</span><br />

We do, and every morning, when the sun is rising, we're sitting in this little den, looking out through the double windows and watching. Watching the sun hit our large oak trees and listening to the beautiful birds sing a morning song.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I sit in this room every day to read and talk with my husband</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> over a glass of wine </span></span>after a long day.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, since this room is one of my favorites, I thought I'd share it with you.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DZaNK2mpfjk/Ua5yHB1O1JI/AAAAAAAAC3Q/oqcPGxld1IM/s1600/36-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DZaNK2mpfjk/Ua5yHB1O1JI/AAAAAAAAC3Q/oqcPGxld1IM/s640/36-001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The den is just off the kitchen and a very cozy space. Here is the fireplace before the stonework. I'm sorry it's so blurry, but you get the idea.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And here's the after. The grate I use for this fireplace is an old window bar. I found it at an old house salvage store and fell in love with the curves and the patina. I left it exactly like I found it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is "my" chair. I sit here everyday and it's the best spot in the den, (or so I think.)</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This old antique desk has a curved back and I wish the room were large enough to have it facing out so you could see the other side. It's so pretty to see it on the rounded side.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The two lamps in this room are heavy cast cement. I found them at a home decor store and because they were wired with a European plug, I was able to get them at a steal (they even came with the shades.) </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I love using mixed pillows. Here's a sampling of the ones in the room. Needlepoint is one of my favorite and I have several of these.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We purchased this <a href="http://www.ricstandridge.com/#home/">Ric Standridge</a> painting several years ago.

My welded-washer bowl that my husband gave me from <a href="http://www.chickenmanart.com/">Christopher Park Gallery</a>, old porch spindles collected from salvage stores, my Santos doll from Pottery Barn that I got for a steal at the outlet, and a cast iron bull head. </span></span></div>

I'm talking about bright pink and deep blue. What a combination....and I gave it a try Friday night for supper on the porch.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love using silver with pink. I think it softens the harshness of a bright pink but keeps it cool. These little place markers I found at the Dollar Tree, (I thought I would use a dry erase on the glass so I could use them multiple times) and mom gave me this cute little silver bird bowl.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The small Godinger salt and pepper shaker set came from Tuesday Morning and so sweet with the little bird bowl. I love all things with birds.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Again, I used a chevron printed burlap ribbon from Hobby Lobby as my napkin rings, (or bows.) I love all these burlap ribbons. The blue daisy plates are Pfaltzgraff.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">White Irises add the perfect touch to the table. Big flowers are always a plus for me and they have great impact. </span><br />

There are lots of choices out there now, and you can still find lots of things available in thrift stores. I have always loved gold and have always used it. Of course, now I can be in style....love it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've had this large gilded mirror for about 25 years and it has traveled many places with me. The two antique lamps on the buffet have beautiful gold stripes...just a hint is all you need to make something pop and add a little bling.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My sweet husband painted this painting for me on our 10th wedding anniversary and we put it in a gold gilded frame in our dining room. Wouldn't you love to walk through this poppy field?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My simple, yet elegant white plates have a pretty gold leaf pattern around the edge. I use these all throughout the year with many different colors and table settings. Of course, I think that gold goes with everything.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The beautiful "bubble" bowl is gold leafed and when the sunshine hits it, it's magical. Gold leafing adds such depth....don't you think?</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(literally, can no longer keep me up...lol.) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought and thought of different ways I would use this old thing. Hang plants on it? No, that wasn't it. Towels? No, not that either...not really the right style. I know. Use it to put a few of my favorite books on, my garden hats and some garden trinkets. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's always fun to do something new and unexpected at the beginning of Spring. Going into my kitchen is this little entry way that was perfect for this little old ladder. Every time I go into the kitchen and see it, it reminds me of all the weeds that need to be pulled. But what the heck, I'll open one of the books instead.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love the shape of this little green urn. It is super heavy and I found it at a Miracle Hill store. Also, one of my favorite books to get inspiration from is <u>Junk Style</u> by Melanie Molesworth. I've had this one many years and never tire of it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The bag the gardening magazines are in came from the Home Exchange party I had last month. It is one of the things I chose. It matched perfectly with this little group. </span></span> <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I guess I'm like a lot of you who are getting the beach itch. It's just the end of May and I can hardly wait until we go to the beach. It's one of my favorite times of the year. Scouting the island for beach goodies...walking the beach at sunset...soaking up some rays.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Because the beach is occupying so much of my mind, I decided to create a fun and whimsical tablescape for our Friday night dinner. I set my small metal table up in a grassy spot in the garden. The sunlight peeping through the trees was very nice.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">These cute little fish plates I found at Miracle Hill as well as the large fish used for the flowers. My Spirea is blooming right now and has these lovely purple/pink flowers. Thought they would match the fat fish just fine.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Small plastic ice cube fruits that I froze for the glasses add a pop of color to the water. I love the detail on the little fish...his scales and cute little face, and the peach colored shell napkin rings around the yellow napkins match the peach color in the fishes face.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I got lucky with this ever-so-cute fish bowl. The details in the whole thing are great and it matches my fish plates perfectly. I happened to find this last one at Old Time Pottery. What luck.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What's on the menu? Well, hotdogs of course. I bet you thought we'd have some sort of fish, but hotdogs are fun and easy just like the beach. I make a zucchini relish and we used this on our dogs.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Remembering those who sacrificed for our freedom is a humbling experience and I'm very thankful to them.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here is the table I'll be setting up for Monday's cookout. I did a mock run, so to speak, so I thought I'd share it with you today. This year I set the table in my Secret Garden. I love this little spot in my yard because it has such pretty views.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have an old Ralph Lauren red, white and blue quilt that I like to use for a tablecloth. I bought the ribbon for the napkin rings at Hobby Lobby. All the burlap choices in ribbon they have now are great and I really like the look of large ribbon for the napkins. And the polka dots.....love!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For the arrangement on the table, I filled a candle holder with water and used the branches from the wild privet growing along the side of our pasture. I love the little white flowers on the privet and they smell so sweet. There isn't anything in my gardens blooming red right now so I used these pretty silk flowers in the live greenery and it makes them look very real.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The vine growing on the arch going into the secret garden is Confederate Jasmine. It is evergreen and is covered in these beautiful, divinely scented, small white flowers. This is a very easy vine to grow and is in part shade at my house. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Anytime we celebrate a holiday in our back yard, I like to hang a quilt on the clothes line and watch it blowing in the breeze. So pretty. This was another Ralph Lauren quilt I've had for about 10 years and it makes a pretty back drop since it is right beside the table.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I hope you all have a nice Memorial Day and that you get to spend the day with your families. Be thankful for what this day brings and the sacrifices given for us all.</span></span><br />
