With the this being the last big weekend of Summer, I thought I would share a tablescape I did quite a while back. While painting the kitchen everything had to come off the area above the kitchen cabinets. If you're like me you never put anything back "exactly" like it was before. While the toolbox was down I thought it would make a great centerpiece for table served buffet style.

~ A Nestled Corner ~
When pulling together a vignette, I like for it to tell a story of sorts. We all like to put things together we love, items that touch our heart. We receive gifts from friends and family that mean the world to us, they become treasured keepsakes.
With my birthday around the corner I wanted to share a gift I received last year from my BF. I've tried like a ga-zillion times to get a decent picture to share with you. It wasn't until after I moved things around in the dining room that I could get a picture worth sharing of my beautiful tray.
My love for birds, (as long as they are faux and far away from me) and love for trays didn't go unnoticed. My girlfriend takes in everything I say and stores it away. I'm so fortunate to have had her for a friend for over 30 years now. I was so surprised when she presented this lovely tray from Nell Hill's collection last year. It's beauty is beyond words.

Gorgeous!!!

Wasn't she a beauty? I lost Mother in 1987, there isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't miss her. This picture was taken when she was a young woman, I'm not sure of the age. Mother was very camera shy, I feel very fortunate to have one with her facing the camera without her hand covering her face. lol
Late last fall I found and ordered this print. I'm sure many of you know what caught my eye first. Yes, those darling bunnies, then her Angelic face.
I think the artist captured her innocence well..
The clock was a gift from my daughter a few years ago for my birthday. Mr. P was out of town, a pipe burst in the master bath, flooded the basement and the story goes on, when she presented the clock and a couple of other things, she said, "Mom you need chocolate, I brought you a whole container of Hershey Kisses ! " What a lovely memory that brings back!

~ Harvesting the Sage ~
Even with all the heat we've had it hasn't seem to stunt the growth of the bushes in front of the house. Last week once again,I started the job of trimming. The Russian Sage plant also needed to be trimmed back, while it lay on the ground a tablescape came to mind. Leaving the trimmer behind, good blogger that I am I promptly went inside to gather what I thought might make a welcoming table. :-))
