This morning we had a "showing" of the house, so last night I went out and cut some hydrangeas for the living room. They are PROLIFIC bloomers and I have 10 bushes so plenty to cut!!! I LOVE them. And since I have a collection of blue and cream pillows on the sofa they are the perfect accent.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZIoy9XoucDMMurqBl63F1kfa-ORT12zFbPntJ0VG842oA8XZ-9SMi85bosfK3tXCMcYzoUyH9UC2uesGb0vQJWU-ZgaHqW05s5VALyBvZkPOhDVvPDD61369cnJ9k-d1LVI2uM9NjlIBe/s1600/IMG_1236.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" pca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZIoy9XoucDMMurqBl63F1kfa-ORT12zFbPntJ0VG842oA8XZ-9SMi85bosfK3tXCMcYzoUyH9UC2uesGb0vQJWU-ZgaHqW05s5VALyBvZkPOhDVvPDD61369cnJ9k-d1LVI2uM9NjlIBe/s640/IMG_1236.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> What a beautiful welcome.

I have had ENOUGH of not doing any decent tables so I decided that my FAMILY are the most deserving people of a pretty table and I was going to DO ONE!!!! It is incredibly stressful to have your ENTIRE house "show ready" but that is life here right now. However, I use this pretty runner on the kitchen table for showings so thought, I can do a pretty table using this runner!!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2uU1EwpjYdV4Y-fKAi9Q_8MfQ9hNZMBhpSI6LNpMxn-SlFPLve3Z3ZTvf1hmb7lClTyHQR3ZcfrMZVOa_kt9seSzNI31s9PpsnYX9DrZGukADUrK84ooyOz4hjMcpDTGcTTWhjwldH-7G/s1600/IMG_1211.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" pca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2uU1EwpjYdV4Y-fKAi9Q_8MfQ9hNZMBhpSI6LNpMxn-SlFPLve3Z3ZTvf1hmb7lClTyHQR3ZcfrMZVOa_kt9seSzNI31s9PpsnYX9DrZGukADUrK84ooyOz4hjMcpDTGcTTWhjwldH-7G/s640/IMG_1211.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> As you can see it is a creamy background with lots of greens and some deep browns too. I love this runner! I used my twiggy chargers that I got at World Market last year when we were in Fl. I SO wish there was a store near me! World Market, are you listening?????? On the charger I placed our grren everyday dishes and a creamy scalloped salad plate. I love these creamy dishes and I got them at Walmart!!!

It is in a textured, ceramic pot. I raised it up on an iron stand to give it more presence!

You read that correctly! I know you are all DYING. Yvonne and I met through blogging and have become very dear friends. It is a friendship I treasure. She lives in the bucolic countryside of Lancaster county. It is GORGEOUS, and just a 45 minute drive for me. This is not the first time I have been at Stone Gable, we have shared several lunches, dinner and she has been here. I did NOT take pictures at her house, I will leave it to her to blog about our lunch if she wants to. But, I wanted to share this beautiful scenery.

*Sigh.* 1950s cool stuff

Why is it, when I search out some seemingly obscure item like pink Pyrex, it ends up becoming the most sought after thing on ebay? This is my grandmother's "pink daisy" divided casserole...easy to find.   I searched and finally found the 2 1/2 quart casserole at a reasonable price, but have yet to score a 1 1/2 quart. Some lucky person outbid me on ebay and got one for $8, which is unheard of. They are usually in the $25 range with at least $10 shipping. I, of course, am never lucky enough to find one at a thrift store for $4.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZCwpP2BOlxG_flOWlb3rOCtDA-BSRuFkxCQNVU2qKOoV2pI48rVl8GerXBfifVJ97CR-xLcAUG0vN4Y0tt_9q0JnNmu4G8eXIU_6rMlM6pM-JSecD3HztLX0qAnf5XpYPrEMr0_dHvP4/s1600/pinkpyrex1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZCwpP2BOlxG_flOWlb3rOCtDA-BSRuFkxCQNVU2qKOoV2pI48rVl8GerXBfifVJ97CR-xLcAUG0vN4Y0tt_9q0JnNmu4G8eXIU_6rMlM6pM-JSecD3HztLX0qAnf5XpYPrEMr0_dHvP4/s640/pinkpyrex1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>                         Oh how I love this collection...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHVKOTbterIKpCa8DNqIaHxOXeayGvhc_g90JB8koTodd8qZd6g-eqCBrpV4DhFKwbqmvOfi74x56hYxmDpDvzwIlDBQLU6heoU5L3tDN0Z7_edgyYCy9bZgNK03NLXAEdZ-TWpYA0MYg/s1600/pinkpyrexpin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHVKOTbterIKpCa8DNqIaHxOXeayGvhc_g90JB8koTodd8qZd6g-eqCBrpV4DhFKwbqmvOfi74x56hYxmDpDvzwIlDBQLU6heoU5L3tDN0Z7_edgyYCy9bZgNK03NLXAEdZ-TWpYA0MYg/s400/pinkpyrexpin.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>              (Photo courtesy Pinterest)</i></div><i><br /></i><br />I saw the Pink "Gooseberry" Cinderella mixing bowls at an antique mall here for $29, $39, $49 per bowl.
