Wednesday Ladies Valentine Lunch 2012





What do they say? Better late than never!

Since moving back to SC I have met a great group of

 ladies. Every Wednesday we go to lunch and then hit

the Consignment, Antique and Thrift stores in town.

In December we decided  to break up the routine

a little, one week a month someone would host lunch

at their house. This month was my turn. I have to

admit I borrowed a dining room, yes I said borrowed!

Since we are still living elbow to elbow, my neighbor

 was kind enough to let me use her dining room. I

 emptied the china cabinet, stood on my head looking

 through boxes for needed items and this was my

creation. Everything here, I already owned with the

exception on the bowls, which were found at Ross.

 Can't have a great Valentine lunch with out great

deserts.

I'm linking up to "A Stroll Thru Life"  for

Table Top Tuesday.

See you there.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

I changed up my Bombay chest a little for

Valentines Day. So come enjoy a glass of wine and

enjoy the evening!

A Family Dollar Store painting I found years ago.

I love all the color!

I got most of the feathers for the arrangement at

Hobby Lobby. I already had the grass.

The next photos are from my volunteer job in

Charleston at Middleton Plantation. So unfortunately

this little place is not on my list to buy. But a girl can

 dream, can't she.

Some of the beautiful Camellias in bloom.

I'm linking up with "A Stroll Thru Life " tonight for

Table Top Tuesday. See you there!

China Cabinet Redo

Thanks for taking the time to stop by for a visit. There's

not allot I can do with all this stuff in this little space,

so I decided to make a few changes to my china hutch.
The inspiration came from this place mat I found at Ross
last fall.

The hutch was originally a dark wood tone, I wanted

to use it with the black chest I showed last week for

Table Top Tuesday so I gave her a good ole coat of

black paint and a little distressing and the pieces work

pretty well together.

I found this wrapping paper at the Dollar Tree last

year at Christmas. It's not an exact match, but pretty

close to the place mat.

 

Sorry for the glare!

So I guess thats about it for my handiwork this week.

So lets do a little house shopping in my little town.

Now I can promise you that if I had the chance ten

years ago to buy this ole girl, she would have been

mine. She a little big for just two people, at 3800

square foot she is only 400 square foot larger than

our old house and that's a little much. If you like

 old houses, you will be drooling over this one!

Would you like to sip some tea on the porch?

Gotta love those windows and doors!

Music room, ladies parlor?

Lots of great dinners here, I bet!!

Can we say Foyer??

Upstairs hallway leading to the upstairs balcony.

One of the four bedrooms.

 Ok, so now I'm going to walk my babies and since

this ole girl is on our walking route I'm going to drool.

But first, I'm going to join in Table Top Tuesday at

A Stroll Thru Life.
