Oh Gloria! Your setting is just precious! Love your pink depression glass and the cake stand is so so cute! I have a plate made out of that same "whatever" and I love it too. You did a wonderful job of mixing your old and new.

Hi Gloria,
How are you doing! It's been so long since I've heard from you, and I've been missing you!
All your pink pretties look so sweet together. Oh and I really love your pink depression stemware too!
I know what you mean about curling up with a good decorating book and savoring every page, Heaven!
Take care,
Sherri:)
Hey there, Ms. Gloria! As always, you've set a gorgeous table with so many beautiful things! I love hearing about how you acquired the items, and I love the way you mingle fine antiques with simple things. By the way, I was surprised when you said the flatware's from WM ... you really classed it up and made it look high end!!!
No wonder they still give you an employee discount where you haven't worked in ages ... I'm sure they love you! How could anyone NOT???
Have a great rest of the week!
Bill
Oh my....as soon as I saw your collage with that sugar shuttle, I knew I was in for a treat!
What a lovely table....so feminine.
Your round wooden table with its beautifully carved edges reminds me of my Grandmother's. I wish my parents would have thought to save it for one of their kids. I think it went to GW. :(
I have several pieces of my Grandmother's pink depression glass & can't wait to use them for TT someday.
I'm new & this was my first week to participate. I've really enjoyed looking at all the wonderful ideas. Thanks for sharing yours.
Hi Gloria, love it all, my heart skiped a beat over the pink depression glasses...and I just not to many weeks ago bought the same book..... The porch that you showed is ear marked in my book.... Love it love it all
xoxo

Morning, Dearest Gloria! I have that book too! It's just wonderful. Oh, what a gorgeous cupcake and tea table! I love all your pretty dishes and touches. I've said it before, but you've got the touch, girl!

Oh that table setting looks as sweet as a cupcake :) I love your pink plates against the white!

Very sweet table Gloria. Love your mohter's china. Your cupcakes are so sweet too. Aren't they fun to make? I tried my hand at it a few weeks ago. I'm such a clutz I had "mud" everyhere.
Dawn
Oh Friend! This is ME! I love, love ,love pink and green -- I envy you for those glasses! I have the same sugar scuttle (from eBay too!) AND I ordered the same book from Amazon! We must be "twins" in spirit!
I love the color scheme that you used on this table. The pink dishes and depression glasses are gorgeous!
Oh Gloria, what an adorable cupcake and coffee table. I'd be there in a flash!
It's all so pretty ... and the book you feature looks amazing. I can pore over the same decorating book over and over again -- I sure get my money's worth from them! This one goes on my wish list.
Thanks -- such a pretty in pink post!
Cass

Hi Gloria! Just a visitor, but I love seeing all the tablescapes on Thursdays! I hope to participate one of these days! LOVE your pink depression glass! I only have a couple of pieces, but would love to gradually collect more in time! You also inspire me to learn a little more about napkin folding! It can really make a difference!.. Wonderful post.. It was a pleasure stopping here today! ~tina
This is such a treat for me for Tablescape Thursday!
You've done such a nice presentation. Wonderful post.
Hope you'll stop by my site for a spot of tea in Kansas...
blessings,

Oh sugar,
I so enjoyed that sugar free cupcake and the tea was just devine. I love the fleur de leu napking folding. I will be remembering that one. How beautiful it is in the black checks, I think I would use a red napkin ring tho. Just loved that darn book. So many ideas. Your table setting was just beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. I so love to see you visit. Stop by soon. Country hugs and love, Sherry
You've got a lovely china!
Nice tablescape.
Warm regards from South America,
Val
mom....you are just the sweetest to say such kind things on my blog post. I almost didn't put it up... I can't table scape....and cloches are like alien ships for me!
I am loving those silver pieces...lots!!! and if those dishes are cream in color and not really bright white...put them in my box!
I love you mom...and hope you are having a great week!
say hi to my sisters when you talk to them...I really need to come see you one day soon...
Hi Gloria! What a beautiful tablescape!! I especially love that pink depressions glass! Your sugar shuttle is gorgeous! And I love your china!! I'll have to check out that book. It looks like a really good one!! Happy weekend...hugs...Debbie
What a pretty, feminine tablescape with cupcakes! I would be delighted to dine at your sweet table!
Brenda
Gloria...your blog just gets more and more beautiful every time I visit you! I love it.
Your tablescape is just delicious and delicate! I love it.
You have such wonderful taste...just one of your many virtues! :):) Being a good bloggy friend is my favorite!
Mona
Gloria...are you pulling our legs out here in Blogland? Are those cupcakes really sheet rock mud? LOL They sure look tasty...what ever they are! :-) Your depression glass is gorgeous...love how you still get your discount on your County Living goodies...too funny! I have that book...but I'm embarrassed to say I've never read it...and I've had it a while now. Now I want to go read it after reading this post! :-)
Happy TT, girlfriend!
Susan
Gloria, your cupcakes are just SO cute! Love your pink plates, too... I'm always amazed at what you find thrifing. Such a fun, festive table!
Love to you, sweet lady...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Gloria, if you get any better at tablescaping, they'll have to print a book about YOUR tablescapes. This is just the sweetest tablescape, and I am so wanting some of those darling napkins! I love those fold-up cake trays (more room to store more stuff). I've been thinking I want to get one of those. I can't believe you made faux cupcakes out of sheetrock mud! You are just way to smart! It looks so cute. laurie
Gloria,
I'll have a cupcake. I loved your plates and what a good deal you got on the little pink ones, your right you can use the white one many different ways. My favorite was the pink depression glasses.
I know you will enjoy that decorating book.
Sandy
Perfect..love those pink plates and glasses..very pretty table, Gloria!
The plates were truly sweet and I love the walmart silverware!! I like how you mixed the cup and saucer--came out so cute. The entire table was glorious. AND I think you should share more of your book each time!!
