Late Summer Entry Table

Well after two weeks of moving boxes and finalizing the store, I have finally been able to focus on my house and begin to spruce things up a bit.

Too early for fall decor I decided to use sunflowers to brighten up the entry table. I apologize for this light in the pictures. It was getting ready to rain and the light outside was very strange.

These two roosters are just what was needed next to the sunflower bouquet. Varied heights add for interest.

I love this guy because he has a bee on him.

And this one has a butterfly.

Today I'm joining Marty at Tabletop Tuesday & Shelia at Notesongs.

Fall Entry Table

I've had a not so great weekend :( First I got a cold, which prohibited me from going to see our daughter up at law school and enjoy a wonderful meal at Jeff Ruby's steakhouse (which I had saved coupons $ for a month); Second my camera broke and all us bloggers know how terrible a fate this is - a blogger with out a camera is, well not going to be a very good blogger! Finally, while attempting to take pictures of my entry hall with my phone and then figure out how to send them to my email address and download them to my computer - I burned my dinner - chili - which was going to be perfect on a cool autumn evening.

Not to be curtailed, I downloaded a few inspirational photos from the web and a few of pictures that actually came through to my email for us to view.

Isn't this picture from country living magazine adorable! See the chickens under the hall table - I think it adds so much to the quaintness factor (is that a word?) of the room.

Blue and white from Southern Accents - adore!

A table cloth with a lamp and great chair from House Beautiful.

And a mirrored effect from Traditional Home.

Here's my chickens -again sorry for the pictures.

With my pumpkin wreath and leaf votive candle.

Wishing you a wonderful week - I'm off to

My Little Red Wagon

Welcome to Tuesday! I have yet again changed out my entry way table. What can I say, I like to see something different

when I come home from work.

I've used a wreath I recently received along

with a blue and white vase.

Isn't this little red wagon so cute?

This is my old faithful. If I'd known I would have used

this so much over the years I would have bought five

more 10 years ago (Stein Mart I think).

Here's a side angle. I like the red white and blue ribbon.

And the red, white and blue flowers.

They say summer without screaming 4th of July.

A bird's eye view.

Simple & Summery.

I'm joining Ruby Tuesday and Tabletop Tuesday.

Oh and Miss Madison wants me to remind you

tomorrow is Part II of the Monticello tour.

We hope you will stop back by to visit!

Strawberry Table Top

With Derby over it was time to change up my

entry hall table with a new tablescape.
I decided to use this old pitcher and basin as the focal point.

I purchased this at an estate auction in our old neighborhood.

The owner was a lovely lady 94 years young!

Along with this "H" tile from the Vatican gift store, given to me as a Christmas gift one year.

I put the basin on a plant stand to give it some height and then added a plate underneath to give it some layering depth.

Inside the basin I added clear stones to fill it

and then layered on top some faux strawberries.

Here's a bird's eye view. I like the red with the red in the marbletop.

Next I added three miniature vases from Pier One to the left side.

I thought this red tied to the red of the marble top and the berries.

The first strawberries are in at our local farmers market - yum!

Here's a shot with different lighting. Thanks for stopping by today :)
