It's about time, Nana!

It has been a long time since I have done a new Tablescape! The old one was getting dusty and now that I have found PICASA- I no longer have a hard time loading up pictures! Yay!! It is the little things in life that get us revved up, huh? Well, I strayed from my comfy Johnson Brothers Ironstone and brought out the blue flowered Haviland set, only to realize, that I must have broken a cup- and of course it was after most of the table was already set, so I snuck in a replacement- I tried to position my camera, so as not to notice it, so here goes. Also, I really should have cleaned the silver, but in most pictures, you really can't tell too much. Blue is my fav color, so I really love this set and I surely scarfed up the blue runner at a thrift store!

I was happy to find the blue candles in my stash!

and my kinda new "tradition" of  the black and white, thanks to the nifty setting on my camera!

I am so glad the table gets some use- we never sit at it for meals- the chairs aren't very comfy- I love the glass top though!

I even ironed the napkins- boy, what a mess they were in my drawer! My sister, Tammy, the Ironing Queen (ooh, that is a good blog name for her!!!) would be so proud!

The setting.

I have been working on my blog- did you notice the bottom right hand corner of my pics? Pretty cool, huh?

I want to apologize to my Tablescaping friends for not being a little better at getting out there and looking at your tables more often. I really enjoy doing that! Some really nice tables out there!

As always, a big thank you to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting Tablescape Thursday! I have been blessed to be a participant since the Fall of 2009. Wow! Time has gone by so fast!

Much love,
