Tabletop Tuesday~China Cabinet

    Hi and welcome to Tabletop Tuesday hosted by Barb at Grits and Glamour. Please visit her blog for a list of participants and their beautiful arrangements. Thanks for hosting Barb!

This is the china cabinet in our living room. I have recently redone it and it is a mixture of things I love and adore. The china is very special to me as it was a gift from my husband for our first wedding anniversary. He chose it himself and said it reminded him of me……yes, I am blessed to have such a romantic husband!

I have added several pieces of my shell pink milk glass. I started this collection years ago after seeing it in a friend’s home. I haven’t collected it for quite a while because it is so hard to find. I also placed two of my Lladros in the cabinet.

 

Thanks so much for visiting….I really hope you have enjoyed seeing my cabinet. Come back soon!

Blessings, Barb

Baking Day!

  

I’m in a baking and cooking mood today…do you ever get like that? The wind is blowing like crazy outside and it is just not one of those days to be out and about. I love days like this because I can cozy up inside and fill the house with wonderful baking smells.  I am also ‘playing’ in the house….another favorite thing to do. Just have to move those things around! I hope your weekend is going great!

Smiles, Barb

Tablescape Thursday~A Winter Table

Hello and welcome to Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps On The Porch. Please visit her blog for a list of participants and all the lovely tablescapes. Thanks, Susan, for hosting!  

 

I have been so inspired by all the snow covered winter scenes I have seen in Blogland. I live in Florida and we don’t see any of this. Ha! So….I created my own icy and snowy tablescape. This table is so unusual for me as it is void of color but I quickly fell in love with it. I hope you enjoy it too.

  

The dishes are from Gibson, the flatware is Reed and Barton, the crystal votives and crystal trees have been collected for years, the silver deer are from Marshalls, the silver chargers are from Hobby Lobby, the napkins and napkin rings are from Bed Bath and Beyond, the crystal…I have had for years.

Thanks so much for stopping by….I really enjoyed sharing my table with you.

Hugs, Barb
