Tablescape #23 Free Flowers and New Napkins

It's that wonderful time again, Tablescape Thursday! Thanks to Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting this fun weekly event. Please stop by here blog and check out all the other lovely tables this week.

My table is very simple this week and thrown together at the last minute. I kept going back and forth as to whether or not to do a table. I had these beautiful flowers but no linens to match.

These are my free flowers. On Saturday we attended my cousins 100 party, which is the number of birthdays plus their anniversaries equal to 100, and we stayed towards the end to help clean up and she gave away the centerpieces.

I just love them, but nothing matched in my linen stash. So while out shopping with my girlfriend tonight, we ventured into Dillard's and they had linens on sale!

My table is mismatched with cheap Walmart items to expensive Depression Glass items. Like these footed Adam Depression Glass.

And Adam Depression Glass footed sherbets.

Here are my new napkins from Dillard's. I just came home and threw this table together.

Dinner plates are from Walmart, stainless is wedding gift from Onieda.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Tablescape Thursday!

Tablescape #22 Patriotic

It's Thursday and time for Tablescape Thursdays hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. I am having so much fun decorating my table each week. Be sure to visit Susan and see all the lovely tables for this week.

Every table should have some kind of whimsy. Patriotic pinwheels do just that. Glass hurricanes with colored glass stones and white candles to carry the theme.
Overview of the table. Simple, festive and non breakable plates are perfect for young boys!

Family Reunion

This past weekend was my family reunion on my mom's side. It was held at my cousins house in Hurst, TX. We all had a lovely time.

Here is my mom, in black, with her siblings. This is my family minus my husband who didn't come because he had to work and my son who was taking a nap inside. That's me in the tye dye t-shirt.

We had fun splashing in the pool and eating great food.

Making homemade ice cream. My nephew had fun turning the crank on the old ice cream freezer.

We had fun playing lawn games. The all time favorite bean bag toss game. That's my son in the blue and my niece in the red.

We are looking forward to the next reunion!

New Space

My old classroom is completely empty and everything is moved either to my new room or taken home. A view of my new classroom.

All my boxes and crates have been unpacked and placed into the closets and cabinets. The fire Marshall has not issued occupancy so the furniture people can't deliver and assemble the furniture but we can go in and unpack boxes; somethings wrong with this!

Looking forward to a new school year in a new building. Let the summer begin!
