Hello Girls...well today Our Hostess Barb's at Grits and Glamour



Is having a Porch and Patio Party...How fun is this going to be seeing everyone great out door space...I don't have a porch ready yet to show...But I asked Barb if I could do my Sun room and she being a kind Southern lady of course told me Yes !!
So "WELCOME ABOARD" my mountain top girls....ha ha!!




Please grab a cup of hot coffee and a fresh baked sugar free cookie and I'll show you around my Sun room....Don't you love my little boat tray....and notice even the coffee mugs have Lighthouse's on them...



This Sun room we just added in 2006 and it's a four season..its all glass...oh and don't use a weed eater next to it...Len did this after I told him not to and broke the window..Can you say the man needs to listen to me !!
I have always loved the ocean...but of course I live in the mountains...So with this room I decided I would bring the ocean to me...

See I even have a Lobster pillow...Len painted the floor in here OCEAN Blue for me...Hey I can pretend you know...


Toss your hat on the chair...and will take a little tour.... This was My Daddy's hat from cabo...sighs..

Now this is what you'll see if you leave my kitchen...this is the left side of room...

This was my Mama's Bathing suit from the fifties...And the fish ball hanging there My Aunt brought me home from Guam...

Walking in from out doors....

Now this little table I just fell in love with when I seen it in a catalog...love the little Oar legs on it and the boat shaped top...Just knew I had to order it...The tray on the coffee table goes inside of it...

Now I shown everyone my Diving Helmet that Len got me for Christmas last Year...and the Old port hole...this sits on top of my Soda Frig... Picture is of the Hole in the rock"...Cabo..

A fish net I hung up with S-Hooks added some shells, an oar I got at Second Sunday Swap meet that I paint Yellow and some of my Aunt's Old Shell necklace she brought back from Guam...

An Antique ship's lantern...

Now these were some old dirty shelf's I painted white added to the only wall out here...Don't you love Paint?? It always makes everything so fresh and new again...

Now this is a drop front desk that Len had and girls it was so ugly and brown...I just painted this last weekend white and then Painted the ship on it...See it's all about the Ocean..

"FULL STREAM" ahead....Look even my rug has anchor's on it and Sailor's knots...

Ship's Cleat's...

Now this sign I just love it fore warn's you before you come into my house that their no Martha here ha ha!! OMG I can see me in the window...

~LET"S DO LUNCH~

Hello !! Girls well here we are with the Last Tablescapes for the month of April...And Boy did we have some GREAT ones this month or what?? And let's don't forget the Queen of Tablescapes our very own QUEEN SUSAN"S " At Between naps on the porch"

Now the other day I was making a new vignettes for my table top...I don't know about you guys But I change out my Table top at least twice a month...I get tired of looking at the same thing...And of course I had just gotten these sweet Bunnies from Picket...and as I could not just hide them in the hutch I thought I would put them out to enjoy and they just seem so SPRINGY to me....( Now Len's idea of a table vignettes is his ball cap, truck keys, wallet and a sweat shirt tossed on the chair and what ever nails and screws he had in his pocket) Oh Girls there I go digressing again...So You seen my Bunnies and Ironstone in my last post Right...OK go look I'll wait... Oh You don't have to their right here....

Now these Bunnies I just love with all there pretty lace on them...The Big one I named Bill and the small one is Dot...YES IT"S DOT....Now so long as I was redoing my table I thought I would toss out some dishes and do a pretend I was having a Lunch...

Now I just love blue and white together...

And of course my Target Birds came back from their ROMAN Holiday and were ready to go back to work again...

These plates I got at Second Sunday Swap meet...they are Royal Stafford shire Tonquin Pattern...I got 4 of them for $5.00 plus the gal even tossed in a salad bowl just to get rid of me ha ha!!

Now these I got at Ross the first of the year....I love the little flowers on them...

Now last Friday I was in Hospice and found these sweet little coffee mugs...these so reminds me of the Lace on my Bunnies...they were a quarter a piece...Water glasses from the Dollar tree...Love the Blue stems on them...Flatware from Wally World...White Ironstone coffee pot Hospice $3.50 , Lemons and flowers Dollar Tree

So girls there is my Blue and white with a POP of yellow tossed in...Now does this not look SPRINGY...Or do you want me to show you next week how Len does a table ha ha!! I am sure there are a few guys that would love it....

Now be sure and go see out Hostess Susan and see what real Tablescapes look like ...remember mine is just a prentend....

Now I wish to Thank all my new followers...I do love all my peeps and its so GREAT that you decided to follow me...Hope I don't get you lost ha ha!! And if I missed getting back to you...I am sorry but I am running as fast as these Old lady legs will carry me...On Friday I will show you a hint of what I have been trying to redo...girls I think I have bitten more than I can chew with my new redo...

I am having a Easter Bunny Brunch for two today...So puts on your ears and Hop down and see what I got...Now I shopped my guest Bathroom again for Bunnies stuff...

This is what your plate setting will look like if you care to join me for Brunch...

I really love these Cabbage plates here...I know, I know I used them last week also ...but like I said I do love them...

Grab a Lemon scones....Hey I also all allot of use out of these scones this week ha ha!!

Here's a napkin to wipe your mouth with...Got these at Target 2 months ago, 4 of them $3.99

Oh and girls I just love my little Chintz salt and pepper shakers...aren't they the cutest ...These I ordered from Victorian Trading Company...$ 9.95 for the set

The little Bowls came from what else but Ross, $1.99

Now these plate also from Ross I just fell in love with...I know they are not Easter...but I can see so many differ Tablescapes I could do with these..They look wonderful even with my Chintz Dishes... Plates were $ 3.99

Same flatware as last week...but had to use it again with the flowers matching the plates...right? of course I'm right !!

I turned the bowl upside down so you could see this pattern is called Rose Chintz...And see the beautiful rose on it...

I used my Pink depression glasses...as this table seems to be all about Pink...

Now for a centerpiece, I tossed some Easter grass on the table added a couple of Bunnies guarding a nest of eggs...( these are quail eggs..but pretend there Easter ones) Also added a little bunny with flowers in her basket under a cloche.

Now these Bunnies I have had for at least 15 years and still love them..

Are they not sweet?

Now I am going to bore you to tears with this...but to make the stand for the cloche I got out one of my Chintz Plates...

Took one of my Pink depression Sherbet glasses...Sat it on the grass...

This would give me some added height sat the plate down on top of it...My little Bunny Planter that I got 2 weeks ago at Hospice Hopped onto the Plate and I grabbed my cloche real quick and trapped her before she could escape ha ha!!!

Now this is the fabric that I got at Hospice 4 yards for a Dollar used it as a table cloth...It really does match my plates and bowls...got to love a bargain girls !!

Thank you all for coming by and seeing my Hodge Podge Easter table...hey!! I told you guys didn't say I was good at this...but I do love my dishes and I love to have fun with them...

Now May all of your Have a WONDERFUL Easter !! I will see you on Monday as I won't be posting until then...May all of you have the true spirit of Easter in your heart...as we all know its not about Bunnies , Eggs hunts or Easter Baskets.

Hugs and Smiles Gl♥ria
