The Energizer Bunny strikes again!
Can't believe all this was done while 'heading for bed'. What a pretty angel, and that lace cloth is beautiful. So are those square plates! I love all the colors in them.
And the wood candleholder...WOW....that friend who got it for you is really a keeper. Its wonderful.

Ok, bottle up some of that energy and send to me ASAP. I'm generally up most all night and am a total dud at doing anything productive. Which is why I'm usually here (or watching TV or reading). Wish I could put those hours to good use like you do darn near EVERY hour.

hugs, Karen

OMG Karen...you took the words right out of my mouth!
I was thinking that Kathleen was our 'Duracel Bunny'...
Now I see Punk doing this before she went to bed...
OH MY ...Punk, you slay me!!

Lovely table, and lovely angel. I agree that lace tablecloth is beautiful.
I love how you paired your JBros with those plates. Gives them a whole new look. That candleholder is really different. Can it be used with & w/o the glass? It's very different and what a fab gift.

Okay..so when you woke up this morning, did you remember doing all this at such a late hr or did you say Wow...look at my beautiful table....Who Did That??? lol
Again, too bad you are so far from Karen and me...we could use your energy for sure!

Girl, I don't see how you stay up soooo late, any of ya'll as a matter of fact. I need my sleep to function during the day. That's a great table, I love your new plates, they are so different. The smokey glasses are cool too. DS sells lots of those in his shop. I like the daisy napkin rings, I didn't know if there were Dillards everywhere or just around here since they are based out of AR. Thanks for the pictures, keep up the good energy.

For someone "going to bed" , you sure accomplish a LOT!
I looove the candleholder, very unique.
The tablecloth is gorgeous, the little couple is just precious and perfect with the angel watching over them.
The berry glasses are so cute and I especially love the layering effect from the placemats upward to the salad plates as it gives off such a "put together" look.
Fabulous!

ok, punk, expect to see you using those new square plates in some other t'scapes this year! Those are very "retro" to my eye! I can see lots of possibilities using that find! Love TJMaxx, too...awesome finds! Were you REALLY able to sleep after doing this? My mind would be 'spinnin'! LOL! I hear ya' on the "enablers" here! TFS! Jeanne S.

You are obviously a 'night-person'. I am also, seem to get my second wind about 11pm! Of course I'm married to a 'morning-person' so we compromise.

That angel is so adorable and spring-like with the flowers in her hair. The candleholder is very useful - I really like the angel on top. I find transferware plates are good with many settings especially when they are multi-colored. The bit of red on your wine glasses picks up the red in the plates - nice touch. It's all in the details. TFS

We've had quick snow showers as well and I am so ready to move on to the next season.

You are sure collecting lots of pretty dishes now, Punk. Like Karen, I really like the colors in your square plates. Those will probably work with lots of other dishes too. I've not seen glasses with berries like that--nice touch. Nice having the little angel watching over all of you. ;o) Luvs

How pretty, Punk! Love that tablecloth of yours, too. You amaze me with all your creative energy!

Hi everyone and thanks so much for all your wonderful comments. I need to get on a better schedule for my health I'm sure but I run till I can no longer run each day. I am totally hooked on trying new settings. I have dug out things I never would of ever used had it not been for all of you here.

I do need to tell my kids to stop so I can keep things put away. I think they are loving the idea of bringing me everything they no longer use.LOL I just hope when something happens to me they want it back.

My dear generous friend's Birthday is Sunday so we will probably go shopping on Saturday and then all four of us will go out for a nice dinner on Sunday. I bought her the hand painted stemware to match her Royal Albert dishes so hope she like it. I want to buy her a new purse too but she doesn't like to be spoiled so I'll let you know how that goes.

Punk

Hope you can slow down some Punk...I know you've been running ragged for some time now. I also hope your DH is doing better.
How sweet of you to treat your friend for her Birthday..and I'm sure she will be thrilled with the hand painted R/A stemware. You are a sweet and thoughtful friend.

jane

That is an interesting combination of styles and colors.
