I'm No Tablescaper

So, I'm no tablescaper,
(is that a word? I don't think so!)
but I wanted to pull together SOMETHING.

These are some of the somethings 
that I found yesterday.


OH MY GOODNESS!
I was jumping up and down and shoutin'
to the top of my lungs
on the inside, when I spotted this
pitcher for, get this---
$7!!!

It is "PITCHER" perfect!

As you can tell, 
it is HUGE!

Well, huge compared 
to a most of my pretties!


I stole borrowed these 
from a neighbors tree-
God forgive me, 
the church's tree.

Shhhhhhhh,  

Well, it's really God's tree, 
right???


I got the IRONSTONE
FOR $1 a PIECE 
from the local flea market.



It's marked Homer Laughlin
made in the USA.


I can't get enough.
The pitcher came from MiMi T's.
Look at that handle.

MiMi T's is one of the places in Warrenton 
that Distressed Donna Down Under
and 
Olive Out
visited yesterday.


Isn't the spout pretty!


I love the setting atop my mama's quilt.


Love the glass drinking jars
with a handle.

Oh, I remember when there
was nothing better than 
a glass of ice cold sweet tea
out of a canning jar or
a peanut butter jar.


And nothing like a hot cup of coffee
out of a heavy ironstone mug.


This is my teeny, tiny dining area.
I wish I had a kitchen large enough
for a farm table, but
my small, 1000 sq. ft.
has been home for 27 years.

It was big enough to raise our children in.
We shared fights and fun
around the table.

We made financial mistakes that 
kept us here,but
my children call it home.

We'll add a kids' table when
the grandkids grow out of the 
highchairs.

And then we'll probably sell
and move to Nashville:)
Home is where the heart is anyway, 
RIGHT?

My children and my heart
live in Nashville.

MORE TO COME, 

Bonnie:)

  16. Your room actually looks quite spacious with that round table. My husband drinks out of pint "canning jars" all the time. We keep them in the freezer door so the drink will have an extra chill.
