~EVOLVING TABLE TOPS..~

This evening I decided to join Marty's table top party and realized how much I have changed over the past two years of blogging.  How much I have learned. 

Making a home is an art and each of us has our own style..our own twist.

But..we LOVE inspiration..

My Thanksgiving pumpkin pillow...just a few weeks of the year...

It's so easy when you don't entertain often to drift away from being interested in changing things in your home. 

Because of blogging I began to pick up silver serving pieces.  Here are some of  the things I have  picked up at garage sales.. 

I am taking much more of an interest in my table tops..and it has become a lot of fun.  The joy of collecting and changing things has spread to my daughters and my friends.  We chat about it a lot.

They in turn want to visit your blogs..and take a peek.

 These are my favorite Winter dishes...and I just added the creamer and sugar to my collection.

I am much more likely now to buy fresh flowers from our local Farmers Market which is just down the street from me.  OR I find them in my yard when they are in bloom. 

bj wrote of this in her blog just today, I believe.  The joy of splurging on fresh flowers. 

Cheery kitchen counter tops are fun..old things I have had for years have been dug out of boxes..and added..

rearranging my little kitchen shelf...

The discovery of Mosser glass and can be enjoyed throughout all the seasons...

...and setting a pretty Fall breakfast table...I might not have done this at one time.

All of this has become so  much more interesting when finding new ideas at places like  ....

Marty's TABLE TOP TUESDAY@ A Stroll Thru Life... to inspire me.

Better than any magazine you can buy...AND you can communicate with the women and sometimes men who do them.  Great huh? :)

Love and hugs,
