Birds In The Cubbies!

I am going to re-do the cubbies for 4th of July but before I do I thought I would show you a few pictures of the birds that have landed in the cubbies~

Looks like a flock!

This vignette features some of my Marjolein Bastin collection

I really love this Couroc tray

Thrifty Things Friday

It is so good to be back home!

I will be going to see Tiger next week~I had planned to go sooner but my SIL's Great Grandmother passed away and they have gone to Tenn for the services.  In the meantime....

Here are a couple of Tiger's latest pics from Facebook!

He is looking so grown up here!

Strawberry Face!

I'm sharing a couple of finds from my big thrifting adventure back in May!

I love this Fire King loaf pan in the Primrose pattern

Needs a little cleaning but is in otherwise great shape for $3.50

I love these salad plates for .60 each

These will be used in a tablescape for sure!

A Fishy Table!

Welcome to the first day of summer!

It seems perfect that Cuisine Kathleen is having a party and we are all invited to share our tables

At The Beach!

I got home from Texas late Monday night and so this table was done from what was in my dish closet and stash! 

I've had these fish plates found at a yard sale for several years and finally decided this was their time to shine!

The placemats were found on clearance at K-Mart a couple of summers ago.   I thought they were perfect for the four colors of fish plates!

Orange!

Green!

Turquoise

and Red! 

I used a red glass plate as a charger, I even like the red on red!

I found a set of napkins also on K-Mart clearance and they had all the colors but green.  I found a close match to the green in a thrift shop.

The napkin rings (also K-mart clearance) are red and suppose to look like corral?  I like how they pick up the red edge in the place mats.

The centerpiece was simple!  

The matching fish platter and pitcher surrounded by shells!

The matching fish salt and pepper shakers

I used my thrift store red handled flatware

A simple clear wine glass since there is so much color on this table already!

Colorful, Casual and oh so Fun!

At The Beach!

A Study In Blue

I took these photos of one plant and just loved them.  

I think these would make a great set of note cards!

Sweet

Beautiful Color!

Perfect in its simplicity

Amazing!

I'm joining two parties!

Happy First Birthday Ethan!

I was so happy to still be here in Houston to celebrate my Grand Nephews First Birthday yesterday!

This is my beautiful niece Amanda and her son Ethan! 

The party was a cute jungle theme!

Twelve leaves with photos of him for each month!  

Boy has he grown! 

Cute table with party favors and this 'Jungle Book'

Where all the guests wrote Ethan a message!

What one year old doesn't think the best part of a present is the tissue paper?

Lots of cards, clothes and fun toys!

Really cute cake!

Singing Happy Birthday before blowing out the candle!

He has his own 'smash' cake

wasn't too sure about it at all

But the frosting was fun!

With his Grandma, my sis-in-law Sherrie

With his Great Aunt Linda (that's me!!)

I needed a baby fix and got some hugs, kisses and play time with this sweet boy!

We wish the real Tiger could have been at the party but we are hoping they get to meet at Thanksgiving this year! 

Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Ethan!
