Summer Foyer Table





My chalk board still said "Welcome Spring!", so
I thought I'd better get into the summer spirit since 
 we're already five days into the new season!
 A patriotic theme just seemed to fit, with
 Independence Day and Labor Day practically
 being the end caps of the season!
And if you like the enamelware plate, it's
for sale in the shop!

    2. Well, the weather isn't very summery here...grey, wet and rumbles of thunder all day long!

    3. Interesting you call it a chalk board . . . . we call it a black board . . . maybe your's is a better description.
      My Maths master used to say to us, "You are having difficultly understanding, watch the board and I'll go through it!" . . . lol

    1. I love those, too! They're carpet balls....a Victorian Parlor game kind of like bowling! Who knew!

    2. Really? That is very cool! I was inspired by them, so last night when I was at Winners (which is like your T.J.Maxx), I bought three! They are not quite like yours but similar. They are a mottled blue glass that has a bit of turquoise and white in them. A bit like stained glass. Hard to describe but I will take a pic and send it to you. Thanks for the inspiration!

    3. They sound beautiful! Yours sound a bit like glass fishing floats, too!

    1. I forgot to go back and see
      what you said to my comment so cheeky.
      Why were you early anyway?
      Did your OCD leave at your bay?

    2. lol I was switching posts around
      As a new one was found
      And forgot to change the end
      As I moved from the spring to summer trend

    3. Was I the only one that noticed your blunder
      or were the calls for spring louder than thunder?
      lol...

  10. Betsy, you make me a bit envious.
    I wish I had the know-how to make simple arrangements that have so much drama.
    Mine always look like I just stuck something down and walked away.
    Sorry your Summer is so wet and cool.
    I would gladly share our drought and 109F temperature (yesterday) with you..(:0)

      It sounds like if we combined your weather with mine, we'd have the perfect summer!
