Pumpkins, Bottles & Leaves equal a Tabletop Tuesday

I am joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for TableTop Tuesday. This is the area above my stove/oven in the kitchen. After we purchased our home in 2000, we removed the cabinet doors from this area and made a display area. Gotta have places to sit "stuff" right??? I have been collecting Longaberger Baskets for about 20 years. I have not purchased one in several years, but I still decorate with them. Did not realize how "off-centered/unbalanced" or how yucky this basket arrangement was until I saw it in a photo! Well, that's an easy fix! Anyways, the main focus is on the top shelf......

The heavy bronze plate was a steal at a local antique store for 1 buck! Just perfect for fall decor!

All of the old medicine bottles were found in our backyard while digging around. Makes you wonder what went on back there years ago.......Many years ago, there was an old house here before ours was built. Don't remember it but that is what we were told. I have lived in this area all of my life!

Various pumpkins from Wal-Mart and the Dollar Store

More medicine bottles from our yard, cute little squirrel (which we have All OVER our Yard!) and lovin' my new pottery jar from Hobby Lobby....note to self.....gotta get more of these in different shapes and colors!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my little nook of fall decor in the kitchen~ Be sure to check out all the other talented bloggers! Happy Fall Y'all~

Alittle fall decor......

Well, everywhere you look.......you see a little bit of Fall! Whether you have started decorating you home or your front porch.....seeing more footballs being tossed about.....started changing out your closets (putting away anything springy or summery), fresh apples being sold at farmer's markets.....these are all signs that Fall is on its way! I have decorated the inside of our home, but I have not purchased my fall decor for the front porch yet....things like bales of straw and pumpkins.
I am sharing with you a 13 pane china cabinet in my dining room. I change out this area with the changing of holidays. The harvest plate was a bargain find a couple of years ago at Hobby Lobby during their 60% sale. The apothecary jar was a bday gift from my moma about 3 years ago. Nothing says fall to me than some apples (fake or real). The staffordshire dogs were a bday gift from my mother-in-law probably 5 years ago...don't just love these pups...woof woof! They are protecting some vintage church books and another vintage book (cant remember what kind and I am upstairs! :)

I am joining Susan from Between Naps on the Porch and Marty for Table Top Tuesday! Be sure to check out whats going on over there!

Fall is in the kitchen

Fall is in the kitchen......All of these items have been collected over the years, and they were purchased at bargain prices from Hobby Lobby! LOVE checking out the seasonal isle for additional markdowns....don't you? The bronze plate was a find at a local antique store for 1 buck!

Of course, topping off this vignette are my precious boys! Boy, have they grown! The antique frame was a steal for 25 bucks!

I am joining MARTY for Table Top Tuesday! Be sure to check it out!

Some New Bedroom Pretties......

I am joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday. It has been awhile since I have partied with Marty, cause I have not changed anything around this house except for seasonal decor until now!

Found the pottery beauties at Burk's Outlet. If you have one in your area, it is worth the stop. They carry alittle bit of EVERYTHING....clothes and homegood items! The jar thingy was $9.99 and the candle pillar holder was $3.99. I thought they were worth coming home with me! I knew exactly where their home would be in my home! The candle was a STEAL at Hobby Lobby several months ago. Got that beauty for around 2 bucks off their clearance isle! Oh, yes! I grabbed that baby quickly!!! Perfect match for each other...don't ya think? All of the other accessories I have had for awhile. Either purchased at Hobby Lobby or a local antique store.

The 2 bottom books belonged to my late granddaddy. Love displaying things that belonged to loved ones! Be sure to check out Marty's blog and thanks for stopping by!~

Table Top Tuesday~ Tea Carts are NOT just for Tea!!!

I am joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday. A special day where we can show off our tabletops, bookcases, or whatever else we would like to show off. This little beauty is my tea cart that accompanies my dining room suit. It is a reproduction cherry piece made in Kentucky. I LOVE my dining room suit, and my tea cart is NO exception.

I love displaying my favorite things in grouping. Everything is special to me because someone gave it to me, or I use money from someone to purchase it. My granddaddy gave me the money to purchase my dining room suite about 10 years ago.

I "heart" things with the lady awaiting on them (I do not know what you call this pattern, so this is my name for it.) I think it is sooo romantic and Victorian looking...don't you?

The tea set is a gift from MIL before she was my MIL one year for Christmas. Yes, I broke the lid off the tea pot...sob sob! Other pieces are from eBay, Hobby Lobby, or local antique stores.

The ceramic pitcher is from Hobby Lobby and a 30th bday gift from MIL. Yes, she has good taste.

Notice the lady inwaiting bling bling.....necklace is on the tea pot, earrings are on the creamer and sugar bowl.

Cherub letters spell MOM....aaahhh how sweet they are.

The tea cart has leaves on both sides. I have never used the table, but for only displaying purposes.

Gotta have some photo albums and family photos

Tiffany styled floor lamp was a Valentine gift one year from Mr. Hubby.

Dinner at the Ritz painting is on loan from MIL....I am storing it for her on my wall. Guess you could say it is mine now?

Misc. pictures and a plate from various stores.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out all the other talented bloggers. Have a terrific day!

TableTop Tuesday~ Easter Decor Around the House

A BIG thanks to Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for hosting Tabletop Tuesday. I am taking you on a stroll thru my home, so I can show you some of my Easter decor. Let's get hopping.....

Some bunnies in Magical Bunnyland......nestled on top of the teacart in the dining room.

Bird's eye view.....

Wonder what this little fella is thinking about....

All the above bunnies were purchased at Hobby Lobby at 50% off or more throughout the years.

The dough bowl on the kitchen table gets a little Easter decor of course.

The mantel in the living room

Mr. and Mrs. Hare are just too cute. They look like they are ready to be unwrapped to discover a chocolate bunny inside. (They appear to be covered in colored foil). Purchased from Hobby Lobby 50% off of course. The plate is a recent find at Cracker Barrel.

Just a hanging in the dining room.....

Mr. Lop Ears is hiding from Mr. McGregor because he borrowed some carrots from his garden....ssshhh...don't tell!!!!

Alittle sneak peak at Tablescape Thursday.....
