Continuing the Tour, the Foyer

Good morning! As you are seeing this, I am on my way to the BEACH! This is an annual tradition that a group of us girls do, and this is our 43rd year!!!!!!!!!! We started as a Mom's get away weekend when our kids went back to school. It has evolved to a 4 or 5 days get away and now our kids have kids:) We were all neighbors but none of us live in that neighborhood anymore. One girl is even flying up from Florida to be with us! So anyway, back to the tour. I will share the stairway and the credenza today. As many of you know, I always keep some of my blue and white jars on the stairs. And I always have these LED candles which I turn on at night.

 This year I found these blue velvet pumpkins and fell in LOVE!!!!

 The cream colored, cut out pumpkin came from Kirklands several years ago.

 I kept the blue candle rings rather than the orange pumpkin ones that I usually use in the Fall. I love the life like stems on these pumpkins too!

 Now I will show you the credenza dressed for Fall. This sparkly pumpkin was found at Home Goods years ago. I placed it on a cake stand and surrounded it with a large candle ring.

 My 2 leopard candlesticks have pumpkins perched on them too.

 An amber, glass pumpkin is perched on a brass candle stick on this end and a sparkly pumpkin sits here too. This palm tree lamp is a favorite and has been here for awhile now.

 A leopard glass pumpkin is on this end.

 I wove a pumpkin and berry garland through the vignette.

 Now, let's turn on the lights.

 My large jar that sits here got a candle ring too.

 

Thanks for your visit! I hope you have a great week!

XO, Pinky

Fall Tour: the Dining Room

As you walk into the house the first room you see is the dining room on your right. I love to set a table for each season so that our guests feel welcomed. I set the table just for YOU, as you are our guests too! Come on in and have a seat!

 The colors for the table are dictated by the runner that I got last year. I love the sparkle and the black, gold, and silver colors! I found the pumpkin salad plates at Home Goods last year too. I LOVE them!!

 The beaded placemats are new this year. I found them at CTS!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that? I did a happy dance when I saw them:)

 I placed some of my favorite pumpkins on candle sticks to rise them for a beautiful centerpiece. They wander down the center of the table.

 This glittery, sequined pumpkin is so beautiful in person!

 2 more pretty pumpkins on candle sticks. Candle sticks are great things to use to rise things to a height to display them beautifully!

 The pumpkin and leaf pillows were found last year (after the season) at Bed Bath and Beyond. For the black pillow I just turned a printed one around!

 The dinner plate is my good china.

A glass pumpkin and

 and glass gourd.

 Now, let's light the candles!!!

 I had some tiny candles and then also put some votive candles in some mercury glass votive holders.

 The flatware is my good flatware that has a bamboo design.

 The napkins are hand embroidered. They were my MIL's and came from Italy.

 I would love to have a small, intimate dinner party at this table. Who wants to join us???:)

 

Thanks so much for your visit.

XO, Pinky

Floral Summer Table for our Dinner Group

Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. On Sat. night, Joe and I hosted our dinner group, so I set a pretty table. I like my guests to feel like I set a special table just for them, cause I do! I cut some hydrangeas from the yard for my centerpiece and the rest grew from there. I had gotten this crock, that is actually for utensils at Joann Fabrics back in the Spring. The colors were perfect to use as a vase for my flowers. I actually placed a glass vase inside the crock so it wouldn't leak on the table.

 I have had these flowered placemats and napkins for years and love to use them in the Spring and Summer.

 I kept it pretty simple. Onto the placemat I used a blue dinner plate, light turquoise salad plate and turquoise shell shaped dessert plate.  I used my nice, bamboo design flatware.

 Garden S and P.

 I used my nice, bamboo design flatware.

 These blooms are so pretty. I do miss my blue hydrangeas so am going to amend the soil next year to make one of the bushes produce blue flowers.

 2 turquoise and silver candlesticks hold turquoise LED candles! All came from Home Goods.

 I am sorry I didn't get any pictures of the food! We served Filets with madeira or peppercorn sauce, mashed potato casserole, and I sautéed some onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and asparagus. Everyone said it was all delicious.

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate every one of you.

XO, Pinky
