Well I just lost my entire post!!! How in the world do I do that??? Punk, I'm calling this blue Turquoise since that is the birthstone for March. I like the way the flash makes the stems light up too. I added the gems for more sparkle. The Tree is a White Birch branch. I've been using for years, it's really brittle now and will need to be replaced soon. Candy the crocheted placemats are vinyl and came from CTS, I think Michaels has them also. Jane, These colors speak to me as well they are so Springy. and I love pastels. I used the daffodils and jonquils because they are the flower for March. Karen, I think that little shoe is cute, and I thank my DF for lending it to me. Jeanne, Those cups absolutely belong with my plates!!! they would be perfect for whimsical Spring Tea Party. Gosh it would be fun to get together and see what we could come up with....Where is that bus when you need it???... My tree does take a while to decorate, especially since I decide to move to another location AFTER it is trimmed! Frou, The placemats came from CTS, but I think Michaels has them too. I found Mr and Mrs. Bunny this year I think they are the right size to go with the tree. I'm glad you all enjoyed my pictures. Thanks for all your wonderful comments. NanaK

Kathleen, I never had seen pink ones either, but they were just sitting there at GoodWill patiently waiting to jump into my cart!! LOL Karen, golf was great and the weather is fabulous, but snow still predicted for tomorrow night and Monday, : ( Jane, you would look lovely in that outfit and I would be honored to have you at my table. Where is that darn bus?? LOL Luvs, I don't know if I hit the stores at just the right time, everyone around here isn't into tablescapes, or my shopping angel is helping, but I surely do find some pretty plates!! Magpie, that tablecloth is so pretty IRL that I didn't even consider waiting for it to be on sale. I didn't figure it would hang around that long! The napkins I just collect as I find them on sale. They are so much less expensive than buying them in a regular store. Then when I set a table, I look to see what I have that will coordinate. Pat, thanks. I had some other dishes in my cart until I saw the cream ones, and I traded them out ASAP!! The cream ones were so much lovelier than the others! The pattern is English Meadow by Julia Bullmore, castles and cottages. Marlene, Karen says I hang from the ceiling, LOL, but I actually just stand on the chair, raise my arms, and hold the camera over the table. Then I take the shot. If it's too off center, I delete it until I have a good one. Thanks again everybody. Candy

I AM FREEZING!! What happened? Our winter is over and all of a sudden this cold snap came through and it went down to 37 degrees last night. I live in Florida so we are never prepared for the cold - don't even own a coat. Even though it was chilly yesterday, we hid the eggs for the kids (more than once) and they had a great time. Of course we hide plastic ones - no one wants to eat boiled eggs here - and we had our egg hunt on Saturday because of all the commitments everyone has. Glad we did since it got nasty last night. Sorry to hear about your flowers, yachter. We are having a continuous concrete edging put around the house Monday so I won't plant flowers until after that. Judith, your table is always gorgeous. You have a good eye for color - matched and coordinated. I can't add anything that the girls haven't already said. But what is in the bottom right corner? It looks like silver leaves? b

Jeanne, very tastefully decorated and looks like you can leave it all out for awhile. One of my hydrangeas is coming back so hopefully I'll be able to dry some one of these years. Your tulips are way ahead of mine. Ours grew alot this past week in between snow storms and sun tho. Jane, red tulips are the only ones the deer don't care for at DD's!LOL She finally quit planting the other colors for this reason. Adorable picture...I also had one of those red hats when I was a little cowgirl. DM use to make all of our fancy western shirts growing up. Most of the time we wore Levis and cowboy boots too. Hope you get better every day. Several have bronchitis and whooping cough around here. I'm blaming our weather for this! One has to wear layers to be comfortable these days. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful decor with us. I sure enjoyed looking. Punk
