Thanks for stopping by!!

I have found so much inspiration that I have started sharing my own addiction of tablescaping. Please feel free to join me as I enter my journey and share my passion for decorating with all my lovely little "treasures".

I decorate my home with vintage, thrift store, yard sale and hand me down items. I shop ebay with a vengance for dinnerware and glassware, the postal service must adore me!

I am very casual, but a bit fussy when it comes down to details. I have spent two thirds of my life in the south, but the southerners say my "nothern side" still comes out! I am guessing this is not such a good thing....and visa versa when I am around my northern relatives, "give me a break"!

Join me any way.......I hope we can be blogging buddies no matter where we all live :)

Anika's Table

"Mom, you know if we had a table in the living room......maybe we would all eat dinner in their together!"  I have heard this from day one I guess, her longing to eat dinner together as a family.  I adore that she wants us to be all together for meals, I really do.......but it's just not practical!

The times we are together NEVER seems to match up.  She wants a sit down dinner "southern style"  Taters, bread, mac and cheese and of course meat at every meal.  This is not a heart healthy diet for me and hubby.  We are grazers as the doctors call it and it is the way we eat to stay healthy......especially my hubby with heart disease and 5 stents in his heart.

But since I think it is a wonderful idea and I love her soooooo much, Here is your table Anika!!
We will try to meet here on the weekends as much as possible ok?  We will have our Saturday pizza here!!
And we did christen it the other night with Kailey........Chicken noodle soup and toast at 10:00 just so we could say we did (and cuz Kailey wanted to use the fancy glasses ;) giggle)

I am kinda glad it's here now....thanks for talking me into it!  How often will we will use it?(besides tablescaping that is) We don't know yet, but if we use it and it makes you happy, it's worth what we paid for it.

Now, go sit down and eat your lunch at your table Anika Hope.....and don't forget to put your napkin on your lap!

Love, Mom



In case you love the pink plates as much as I do........here is the link to the whole line of yummy delicious Terramoto

Puppies

Look who we went to visit today!
The puppies!!
~They are still so small and just starting to eat food and they are messy~
They jump right into that plate and eat it right up~
Here are 6, 3 boys and 3 girls.......oh they are mini pins by the way all brown except for one!
They even got a second plate cuz the 3 in the next crate.....yep 3 more girls next door, didn't finish all theirs.  Yummy, they were starving and when mama came by they still wanted milk (poor mama lol).
Aren't they the sweetest looking bunch?
I am not falling in love with any of them.....Anika is NOT either, she can visit and that is it!
Puppies are cute, but they need attention.....A LOT of attention!! We all know who gets stuck with that job huh?
"But mom, we can put her in a purse and take her with us to cross country meets!"
Yeah okay kid!
Oh these dogs will be Hungarian too~just in case that interests you.  My "mama Maria" breeds them and she came here from Hungary years ago.  She has her little family of minis spoiled rotten.


I am not going to fall in love with any of them....NOR IS ANIKA!
