TABLESCAPE THURSDAY

Not your typical scene for Tablescape Thursday, but
Eagle Court of Honor
has been my focus these last few months,
with count down to final event
on Feb. 28th.

I have wrapped the cutlery in this awesome eagle I found.

Along the tables I have printed out pictures
from camp outs and assembled in 'tent' fashion
so that both sides of the table can see.

This particular photo I embellished with
a twig and thread and placed on a mirror
to resemble water.

For more table creations visit our wonderful host, Susan.

Have a thankful Thursday,
~Candy~

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY-Love

Still in L O V E


Love is in the air over at French Lique, Texas

Metamorphosis Monday

Usually these are before & after pics, but today I want to share...BEFORE & DURING. Since starting my adventure with blogging, my need for more creating space has grown. Hubby & son have a WHOLE room we call the lab. As Samuel has grown, his interest in Legos has diminished. So a couple weeks ago the thought came to me--TAKE OVER! I will start with a corner but s-l-o-w-l-y spread, claiming more ground.

Susan's blog is the place to be,
if more morphs you wish to see!


IT IS RAINING!!! Thank you Lord.
(we have been in drought)
Happy Wet Monday

--this pic brings to mind...waiting for the bridegroom--
Have you ever read (or maybe not lately) the parable
Jesus told about the Ten Virgins?

Matthew 25:1-13

"Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. But at midnight there was shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the prudent, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' But the prudent answered, saying, 'No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.' And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with Him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. And later the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, lord, open up for us.' But He answered and said, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.' "Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour."

two warm and waiting...

Tablescape Thursday

These paper dolls were my
Mother's when she was a little girl.
I was once part of a
birthday club
and every month we would
pick a theme and celebrate.
One month this cute little girl provided
inspiration with her wardrobe.
Each place setting--place mat & dishes--
coordinated with a different dress.

~this was what mine looked like~

Now your invited to pour a cup of tea,
wander over to Susan's and
peek through the window.

Enjoy all the TABLESCAPES

Gathered Things~

Popped into several of my favorite haunts today.
Ended up with an eclectic assortment of things
that caught my eye.

I could see a sweet little pin cushion perched on this
wiry birdie. What do you see? $1

This little cup is quite unusual.
Seems like a paper napkin or tissue paper
was attached some how on the inside, then sealed.
And sweet little dots of iridescent paint. 50c

Couldn't leave this cuddly little bear with his little crow friend behind.
Would be cute in a Thanksgiving center piece. $2.99

Some nice pictures in these books, doily, a couple bolster pillows--to decorate.

Also get every mailbox I see (that's priced right) this one was $2.
I scatter them around my property to hold a pair of gloves to pick up rocks,
and hand shears to cut limbs or weeds.
Miss Mouse is going outside somewhere, too. $1

It was a fun day, hope yours was too! Candy~
