Bloggin Fiend!

I have been a blogging fiend this week! Mostly due to the lack of work I have left to do at my job. Tomorrow is my last day, I am actually relieved. I have been so bored this week, but it has allowed for lots of blogging and visiting of other blogs. You never realize how many wonderful and inspiring blogs are out there until you have absolutely nothing to do! I can honestly say that I have spent the majority of my 32 hours this week in BLOG LAND, and it has been absolutely perfecto! SHHH I am trying to get out of my last day,and hopefully set up some interviews for tomorrow!! Why sit here on a beautiful Friday when I can take a LOOONG weekend!! We'll see what happens.

In the meantime, this is a cute little table setting that I created. Not to long ago I moved my large dining room table into my scrap room so I would have more space and I moved this little round table to the dining room. It seats 4 people, but since there are only honey and myself I set two places (although we rarely sit at the table to eat dinner). This yellow charger is from my days as a Pier 1 Assistant Manger. I got to see the merch as it came in the back door and also create the wonderful displays that assault you when you walk in the front door. I was the lucky girl that got to do ALL the markdowns! So when I saw something I couldn't live without I would stash it in the store room until it went on sale or markdown and then I used my 30% manager discount on top of the discounted price to purchase amazing items for dirt cheap! Oh how I miss that job and it's advantages!

Rambling on, so anyhow the yellow ceramic chargers came from Pier 1. Then when on an excursion to Orlando to visit my aunt and adopted junque aunt, I came across these cute little cups and saucers and knew they matched perfectly!! Ah what you can find in someone else's junque piles!! I brought them home washed them up and set the table.

In case you didn't know, green is my favorite , so when I saw this painted tray at my favorite antique shop, i just couldn't pass it up! It was the first thing to catch my eye when I walked in the front door. I didn't pick it up because it was a little too pricey for me. So after walking around and picking up a few other treasure I couldn't live without I went to check out and there was this tray, staring at me again. Well silly me didn't notice the BIG YELLOW sign before but it was on the 50% OFF shelf!! WOO HOO, I scooped it right up along with these two milk glass vases, also 50% OFF! I am telling you it was my lucky day!


When My Aunt gave back my first ever childhood dresser, I knew immediately that it had to be used as a sideboard in my dining room, but I wasn't sure what to do with all that decorating space. "Just pick a theme" my aunt said, and that's where all the milk glass comes into play. I just love the way the green and white mix together! And with picking up the two vases and tray on sale, I found some of the others at thrift stores for dirt cheap and of course one was contributed by my dear Aunt!

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend!

I pledge to be productive this weekend, and venture out of the house, and my pjs, at least once!
