Okay...I love this pic I took at a recent gala event at my church. Notice how the table hostess decorated her bottle of bubbling apple cider? Is it not just too cool? It's got "just" the right amount of pizazz! Just so that she was voted the best set table! Stunning!

Is this not a beautiful vintage wedding dress? A lady loaned the dress for our scenery on the set of the gala event! She is celebrating her 50
th anniversary this year... The dress was impeccable...and could have been worn that night it was in such great shape!
Oooohhhh how I love vintage!

I hosted a table as well...and the theme of my table was "Using anything that someone else either threw away, or that I gave new life to". This is just one "sneak peek" of something that I'll share more in a future
Tablescape Thursday post. I had been saving my
Hedley Teabag cans for a special event. This night fit the bill and I gave six of them away after the event was over. I planted little pansies in the tins, tucked some
Spanish moss in around the edges, put a floral pick in the plant, attached a "Spiritual tea bag" and doubled it as a
place card by attaching the name of the person sitting at each seat. Everyone loved their take away gift that evening.

This pic has nothing to do with anything but the fact that I fell in "Love" with her blue eyes! She is a young
huskie and her name is
Arianna. Now, how could you resist these baby blues? She politely allowed me to snap her pic on a recent Outdoor Fall Fair we attended.

And last, but not least, my "
Beary Cute" Claude.... Yes, I know...men don't wear jewelry... Well, Claude is secure in his masculinity and allowed me to use him as a prop when I recently kicked off my friend Vonnie's
Silpada party at a weekend open house. We had a blast later hanging jewelry off my
chandie, on the bear, anywhere I could get inspired to take pics! Thought you'd enjoy Claude.....I always do, even when he has no jewelry on! :)

Well...gotta run, hope to visit some of you real soon! I feel like Road Runner these days....I'll drop in, say "Beep, Beep"...and off I go again! ;) Life happens...and I'm just
tryin to keep up with it all!
Love to all,
