Newbie here...

17 years ago

I have only visited this forum the last few days and am so excited to have found it! I usually visit several of the Garden Forums. What a treat to have have found you. I have always been one in our family to do table scapes and everyone thinks I'm crazy or trying to show off. But, I just love to use different dishes (especially from my mother and grandmothers) and decorations for my tables and buffet and entertain year round. Thanks so much for your inspirations, I'm not going to feel intimated anymore by putting decorations on my buffet & dining tables. And, I'm always pulled to dishes from high end retail stores to garage sales. I can always find something that's unique and a good deal. Keep your inspirations coming as I'm visiting this forum on a regular basis now. Maybe I'll post some of my pics in the future.

    Welcome fellow dish-aholic!!! Sure would love it if you post some pictures, we LOVE pictures!

    Glad you found us, you are not alone and I'm a huge garage sale bargain hunter, most of my decor IS from garage sales. LOL

    In fact, there is one listed for tomorrow & they say they have bins & bins of Halloween decor (all new) at bargain prices, so you KNOW I'll be there!

    Welcome! I know how you feel, because that's how I felt when I stumbled in here a year or so ago. I spent days going back through the pages, looking at everyone's pictures.

    I'm looking forward to seeing some of your tablescapes and the pretty dishes you use to make them. - Gail

    Can someone provide the link to the inspiration page(s)? I started a new job recently and "lost" my favorites.

    Thanks,

    Soinspired,

    Welcome, You have found the right place to join in. These ladies are so talented with their tablescapes and will enjoy sharing tablescapes with you. I enjoy seeing all of their creations but don't do much, myself. I will be looking forward to seeing your tables.

    Love your forum name, Soinspired. How fortunate that you have dishes with sentimental value, those are the most special. Hope you will take some pictures and share your treasures with us. I'm sure your family enjoys your pretty table and your creativity in doing them--they just are not used to it and don't know how to express their admiration without teasing you. ;o) Luvs

    Welcome, So. Its great you found us, and please do share your photos. We are definitely obsessed with photos. I see that Yachter posted the link to our Fall album. Here's the link to the main page, as our Forum has LOTS of inspiration albums to check out. I'll be adding more from here, and anywhere else I can, with the upcoming season, so bookmark the site and check back.

    This is a GREAT place, I know you will enjoy being here.

    Love the name you use. I've truly been inspired by the talent that is shared here.

    And we are expecting pictures TODAY!! We LOVE LOVE LOVE pictures.

    I found the antique Rose forum when I googled 'antique roses' on a search for a particular rose. Around Christmas that year I clicked the Holiday forum and the rest is history. I still love roses, but the deer can't eat my dishes and decorations the way they have eaten my roses! LOL

    Welcome to our family!

    I was so thrilled to see so many responses this morning! Thank you. I even went home last night and told my husband I think we should have a Halloween party and make it an adult only party. No kids so just our adult family and friends can relax and have a good time. (Usually kids are always included in our gatherings.) He thought that sounded great. So..... I'll be getting my inspirations together and hopefully be able to share with you all. Thanks again!

    Welcome, Soinspired. You will love it here. I'm more of a lurker until Christmas. These are some of the most wonderful, talented people you will meet, and you will see all types of styles here.

    Please, please post your pics. As said, we love pics, we feed off them, and we will bug you 'til you post. LOL!

    I had been a lurker, too, until recently. It's so fun to see how everyone's personality comes out in their dishes & decorations! I've really gotten into it more now that my toddlers are becoming more interested. My 3 year old asks me everyday when we're getting more Halloween things to put up!
