Tablescape Thursday - Anniversary

Susan at Between Naps On The Porch realized that a whole bunch of us love tablescaping and started this fun event so be sure to visit Susan and Mr. Linky to visit all the blogs participating!

Welcome Friends - Just a teeny little setting today.  The little Heather Goldmink cottage is all aglow

and coffee is waiting in an old ceramic coffeepot

ready to be enjoyed in some Homer Laughlin mugs.

as the happy 70's honeycomb couple looks on

To wish us a Happy Anniversary which is today, the30th. 

I googled our anniversary...I thought it would at least be PETRIFIED WOOD or something but look what it says

         "The 44th Wedding Anniversary does not have any traditional materials or Symbols associated with it.   A Contemporary or Modern 44th anniversary gift has a theme of Groceries.

This Wedding Anniversary does not have any Flowers associated with it.
This Anniversary does not have any Gemstones associated with it."
Honestly - isn't that pathetic?  I think we'll just have our coffee and head out for breakfast and some estate sales!

PS - We are registered at WalMart Foods should you want to send a gift!   If you're just dying to know my life story just click here!

Pink Saturday and Bella Blue?

For Pink Saturday I thought I would show you

a pretty pink petite table for little girls

some vintage restaurantware in a rosy color

and some really beautiful blue pieces.  Why blue you might be wondering...on Pink Saturday?  Well all this will soon be available in our new antique space we'll be sharing with the RioBabes...

 

Ta da! or rather   GERONIMO!!!!

If you have never been to the Blue Hills Antique Mall it's quite an experience.  It's a maze of room after room just chock full of bargains.  We'll be located in the new building recently moved to the site.

We're rushing to get lots of upcycled and repurposed furniture ready to go to the new store.  Hopefully we'll be opening in about three weeks.  Our goal is to have lots of smaller pieces that will be easy to load into a van or SUV.  Blue Hills is located in Geronimo, Texas about fifteen minutes east of the San Marcos outlet mall, about halfway between San Marcos and Seguin.  It's definitely worth a trip.

Tablescape Thursday Earth Day

For Earth Day I'm recycling a tablescape from a couple of years ago!

The best kind of tablescape....a bit of chocolate, some wine, a big bouquet of
flowers, pretty little plates and some very vintage wine glasses.

and the most important ingredient of all....

Good friends!

Relay Recap

Yea....Relay for Life was an "uplifting experience"....especially for our team "Girls Just Want To Have Fun"! We all decorated our bras and uh... somehow I missed the message that we were supposed to WEAR them! I thought they were to decorate the tent but of course that was no excuse so I just pinned my 32 C on. My theme was "Hollywood or BUST" but looking at the pictures a more apt name would be "One Hung Low"!

Here's a runaway favorite..."Hook EM" by Longhorn Barb!

LaVerne showed up in a Party Bra!

How about the "Bountiful Harvest". Superintendent of Pf Schools bought this for his wife ...a "learning experience" for her I guess. LOL

Here's our fearless team leader Candy - I don't know her theme other than it was "FELT!!!" The other was something like "Spring is Busting out all over"! Cute not only in the front but in

the back, also.

A last minute Easter bra on the left and a whole lotta work bra on the right!

Anyone remember "Young Frankenstein"? Speaks for itself right?

Hey! Lily copycatted my bra.

And here's what it's all for. More people like this. Survivors!

"Survivors Ready" as Jeff Probst would say.

A lap around and around the gym. (We were moved indoors for the event due to some desperately need rain.)

Helloooo - the survivor and the caregiver!

And lastly the Three Amigos/ bloggers/Nancy(OneHungLow),Barbara, LaVerne/MyCraftyLittlePage/RioStarRanch/RiversideStudios!

The bras were such a hit we were invited on stage to auction them off so we made even more $$$ for our team. Overall the GJWTHF team raised $3000 and our Event raised $150,000.

WooHoo Pflugerville...

Way to go!!!

Termocrisa Tablescape Thursday

I'm so excited! Two of my very best buds are coming day after tomorrow and we're all going to Relay For Life which will start at 6 Friday night and end at 7 Saturday morning. It's a wonderful cause and also a big giant slumber party! So after taking turns walking the high school track all night we'll come back to my house and hit the sack. Then when and if we wake up, I'll take a tray upstairs for them.

LaVerne, like me, needs coffee...while Barbara.....

is strickly a tea drinker.

Jeff will make some of his fabulous cream scones for us and I've got a tray all ready. I thought it needed just a little color...

So I added some of these little Petite roses out of my yard. I think I'm set!

Do you see the little plates? I bought them last week - the whole set for $4.00 I knew nothing about them...only that it was love at first sight. After researching them and figuring out the mark on the bottom I learned they are vintage Termocrisa. They were made in Mexico by Fire King. Fire King officianados apparently warn you Not to confuse the two. No problem - I've never seen such a delicate blue on Fire Kings (which I love by the way but hello - who needs a Fire King Snob!!!) Anyway, here are the plates which are more a luncheon size.

And I paired them with a brown Friendly Village plate doing double duty as a charger.

I just set my table for tonight's plain old dinner and our favorite glasses for plain old dinner are Target plastic glasses. Most of my dishes are thrifted. I bought the little square teapot years ago in Salado, TX and it's English china and are the Woods and Sons mugs from Marshalls. The tray is really a treasure. My husband had it custom made for me one Christmas. So that's it. Come spend a whole night walking for Relay for Life and I'll serve you guys coffee or tea in bed, too!
