Last week without warning, the link disappeared! Alycia and Lulu informed me, and I got the message while sitting in the eye doc's office waiting . I couldn't believe my eyes! :)
Seriously, I got home and sure enough it was gone.
So I added the code again, and reposted.
Three hours later the original link showed up! I deleted the duplicate.
So in case you thought you saw something that wasn't there, it's ok, it was! Blame inlinkz, I had nothing to do with it!
On to tonight's business.
Put all your eggs in one basket! Well, I did, brown and white!
The inspiration for this table was this whimsical egg salt and pepper shaker from my friend Barb at Foley's Follies.
Life is very busy for her these days, so she doesn't blog very much, but one of these days she will be back!
Don't they just CRACK you up? :)
I used a brown striped linen cloth from my favorite Duralee Outlet. ( remnant, $1.00)
Treble clef flatware from the clearance at BBB, and then my 20 % coupon.
Rattan charger from Pfaltzgraf Dollar Day sale.
Brown plates from clearance at Pier One.
White from Century 21
Napkin from HG and alabaster napkin ring from WSonoma Outlet.
Love these basket weave candles that were in the clearance at Michael's .
I used a black stemmed glass from Pfaltzgraff clearance outlet, and a tumbler that is about 70 years old that was my mom's.
They are very thin, and ribbed, amazing they survived!
No flowers and pastels tonight, but I am sure they will be back soon!
After all it is Spring till June 20th!
Today is our 42nd wedding anniversary. Our plans for the day got rained out! Oh well!

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! I have now seen your beautiful Noritake table and more beautiful mom!
DeleteOh my goodness! I was so excited to see all of the brown on your table (love those napkins!) and I laughed out loud at those darling salt and pepper shakers. Then, I saw that I had won the challenge - whoo hoo!! I am so excited. Will e-mail you tonight. Thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry for your eye problems -- me too -- It's a drag getting old. Did you ever get my address? I emailed it a couple of times. Love this week's table -- original as always. Sorry for the trouble last week with Linky -- I couldn't see it, then I could. etc.
ReplyDeleteRegular check up, Ellen. But of course they are getting worse. I don't need glasses to read, but forget distance!
DeleteIt will be in the mail this week. I thought I would get it out today as we were going over near the PO, but we got rained out.
I am a horrible person. I got so excited that I forgot to wish you a very Happy Anniversary!!!!
ReplyDeleteForgot: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteWhen that happened, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me! Good thing you were able to get it rectified!!! This week's post is great! I love the color combo and the napkins are TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! Polka dots are one of those super happy elements that just can't be resisted. Your Mom's tumblers have lasted all this time without breakage??? That's fantastic! Congratulations!!! Have a happy evening!
ReplyDeleteP.S. - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and Mike! I really like your brown and white table...very classy!

Happy Anniversary! Is it still good luck if it rains on the anniversary of your wedding???
Happy Anniversary, Kathleen! I just got back into town from my trip to RI. I'll try to link up something later, but not sure it will happen this week. Love the brown and white of your table. Those eggs with feet are too funny!
ReplyDelete~ Sarah
Love the S & P shakers from Barb! She always finds the neatest gifts. I can't wait to hit the beach, but we have bug season going on at the lake so I usually avoid the beach until July 4th weekend. A beach tablescape should be fun! Love the brown and white, and those candles are great.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Kathleen and Mike!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you, Kathleen! Our 43rd one comes up in August.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! The table looks great. The S & P shakers are too funny.
ReplyDeleteYour egg S&P's crack me up too :) Love the brown & white! Happy Anniversary to you and thanks for having me this week!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. I can well appreciate your issues of losing the links. Although that hasn't happened to me, it just took me forever to get my post up through Live Writer. I don't know what the problem was but it would say it was publishing, then a message that it didn't, but it was in a loop which I couldn't get out of so I had to shut down the computer each time. I think it took 6 or 7 tries - each time having to completely shut down the computer.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, neat table. Different for you. Love those basket weave candles.
Beach already??? Doesn't Memorial Day have to pass before we get to enjoying the beach? Oh yeah, you're retired. You just walk out the door and you're there.
Hope you'll try to celebrate tomorrow.

Alma, June 20th is AFTER Memorial Day. So get in the swim of things!

Very pretty! Happy Anniversary! Too bad about the rainy day but the forecast for the coming days looks great. Love the shakers. Sort of reminds me of the chicken feet post at GB's! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, Kathleen. Sorry about the rain. Brown isn't my color but I love this tablescape. Love those little S&P shakers with the chicken legs. I would smile every time I looked at them. I miss Barb too. Hope she is back soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the tablescape! Thanks for hosting and have a Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteStripes and dots are so pretty together! I'm a big fan of browns and creams (and eggs) :) Those S&Ps make me smile!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the patterns and the color schemed you used on this. Your inspiration pieces are quite unique and adoringly whimsical. Kinda funky! LOL! I am seeing so many outdoor tablescapes linked up today and cannot wait to get more time to go and check all of them out. I added one of my old favorites today from outdoors too. Hope you enjoy! I definitely do not have all of my eggs in one basket..they are scattered everywhere lately. LOL! Wishing you and your hubby a very happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful on top of your table. I love those dishes especially the polka dot table napkin. It well suits on your tablecloth and I love how you pull all things together to make a very fabulous tablescape. You are brilliant!

Thank you for hosting, Kathleen.
Your brown and white table is egg-cellent! Just in awe of your tablescapes... the attention to detail... and the coordination of pieces, old and new! I love the polka dot napkins and striped tablecloth.
...back later with my link. :-)
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see your new finds I think how much fun it would be to go browsing with you. Or better yet, to live close enough to borrow all, which is most everything, I like. The salt and pepper shakers....what can I say?
ReplyDeleteWell Happy Anniversary! Love this fun table! Browns can make a great tablescape. Thanks again for hosting, I enjoy this party so much! Hugs, Linda

ReplyDeletei love those shakers.. they are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteRita
Those salt and peppers are definitely fun....they remind me of the Carlton Walking Ware. I love the chocolate and brown with brown eggs...delightful! Thanks for hosting us and for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteI love the basket weave candle and truthfully, it's nice changing up the colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathleen for your lovely visit. The chandy came shining already from the shop, but before we hanged it, we dusted it with a clean cloth and with a small round brush from our Rainbow vaccum we buffed each part of it carefully, so while it's shining, we can always vaccum it, like dusting, unless for some strange reason it got greased, or something on it, which I don't know why it would! Have a great week. See you from my daughter Sofia's house next Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteFABBY
I am soo far behind, forgive me.. Belated Happy Anniversary.. Here's to 42 more! I adore your table. The brown and white is so perfect.. any time of year. The egg cups are adorable.. Polka dots, stripes and rings on the glasses is just a winning combination. thanks for hosting.. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteI've been told by another blogger that I should enter your link party tonight so I came to have a look.It was our 46th wedding anniversary on Mon 21st. It's quite an accomplishment isn't it? So congratulations to you both. I've joined as a follower so look forward to seeing more. Joan
