Bringing A Little Sunshine Inside!!

Well if you live in the western part of Washington State, you probably know that the sun is been pretty spotty lately!! I really enjoyed this last weekend. I got to spend a whole two full days with my family!! On Sunday we drove up to Bellevue and stopped by Whole Foods Market. It was a lovely store. I noticed the fresh flower area and instantly gravitated towards it! {much to my husbands dismay!!} I picked up these beautiful sunflower stems for a great buy...and thought I would do {yup} another tabletop display. It so happens that today is Tuesday and it's a fabulous link up party over at Marty's blog...A Stroll Thru Life.

I placed the sunflowers in one of my ironstone pitchers, and dug around my fabric box and came up with this lovely...burlap garland. It's perfect width for what I wanted...just simple and cozy.

I placed a little grouping of odd objects on both sides, this side is one of my wicker balls, an odd silver lid type thing, and a moss ball.

The other side is a wrought iron pineapple finale, a faux artichoke, and a flocked fleur de lis jar candle.

This shot was just for fun!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend with your families creating memories!!

What's for Breakfast?

I love setting my table {as you can tell!!} My poor husband and kids...they can't touch {{usually}} the table when it's all set up.

What's better than strawberry shortcake and oranges in the morning?? {{wellll.....}}

Our house loves sweets and fruits. We "try" not to indulge much {{the sweet's part}}

We do go through ALOT of fruit!

You might remember my Easter Tabletop??

I thought I would reuse the burlap for this one, and tried a few different textures.

I found the pillar candlestick at the Goodwill for only 1.99 {I made it into a temporary pedestal for the shortcake by setting a dinner plate on top}.

I am excited about the ceramic container that my strawberries are in!

I've seen it at GW the last 3 times I have been there, and finally decided to grab it on my last visit {it was meant to be!}

I saw similar ones at Anthropologie the last time I visited them {a small ceramic container set you back 24.99!...this one was a rough 3.99!}

Yes that's an old Bible!!

We've had it forever. I think someone gave it to my husband. I placed it on the table because...well I wanted to and it's a part of our morning routine! Can't start the day right without reading The Word!

Close up of one end: vintage silverware/serving pieces

The other end of the table {{love my black 'H'}}

My thrown together flower arrangement in my GW soup tureen {5.99}

What's the green 'blobs' in my flowers??

Yup! Broccoli! I ran out of filler flowers and combed my fridge!

Couldn't resist!! Maci Rae right outta bed this morning....
