POST THANKSGIVING.....

OK...look at me blogging again so soon.  There is a reason for that and we will get to it at the end of this post:)

But back to Thanksgiving.....it came and went so fast... do you agree?  

Now we speed through 29 days and Christmas will be over also....If I was 6 years old it would drag but being a spry 71 years old everything happens very fast for me!

We all celebrated at my niece's new house and it was a jolly time!  Of course I did not get any pictures but I do have pictures of my neighbors table which she gave me creative liberty to do what I wanted.

I decided to use the colors in her DR instead of  autumn colors:)

I went to Target and found the cutest set of "bottle washers" in her colors!

Then I just used eucalyptus and random flowers in her colors. I got the ribbon at World Market but I can't find it online right now.....

Anyway she loved it and I had fun:)

My outfit for Thanksgiving kind of matched it!

So now turn away if you are squeamish...I know I am....

Sunday night I was headed over to my neighbors house with some soup I made and were were going to eat, drink and be merry.....

I do not know how this happened but the next thing I know my fingers were slammed in the door and I was down on the front porch!

Cast of characters were: Cami....a leash....a key to lock the door..... a tupperware filled with soup and some parsley.  

I did manage to put the soup on the porch railing for my neighbor, wrapped my hand in a towel [bleeding like crazy]  and then I headed to an Urgent care which after 2 hours they said I need to go to the ER.

Damnit.

So I headed to Piedmont Hospital and just knew I would be there forever. 

And I was.

After XRAY's it was not broken but I needed stitches.

6.... to be exact.

I will tell you that the shot of lidocaine into the injury just about did me in.  But she said I was brave that most people would be crying...and I thought to myself....yeah...mostly kids. 

Then a tetanus shot and I was on my way after 4 hours.....this is where you need to turn away....

It happened at 5:30 and I was home at 11:30.  I will tell you that it was a lesson in patience all of that waiting around....I kept saying I was gonna leave but then my neighbor reminded me that I would just have to go back in the morning.

And there you have it.....just another exciting holiday!

THIS AND THAT

Well...well....it's another week already.  Where the holy heck did summer go?  And....who knew that Covid would still be here when we first heard about it in March?  I can remember being out to dinner with Rose on March 7 and there was one case.....

Crikey.

Today I am answering questions and showing you a few of the other tables from To Live and Dine at ADAC.

Leslie....I ordered the napkin rings on Etsy and they were vintage.  There were only 5 but I can tell you I think they are a pottery.  Or maybe do a google search with a picture of them!

I went on Etsy and looked for some other nice ones that would have worked on our table....

The amber jar....as I said I got mine at Scott's a few years ago but I found one on Etsy for you....

And I found plenty [much smaller] at places like Target, Crate and Barrel and a few on Amazon!

So I thought you might want to look at some of the other tables....

Hope Austin Interiors

Love the red white and blue!

Forbes and Masters

Amazing that they finished...the wallpaper arrived late the night before we were supposed to be finished!  Love the organic feel of this space.

Regas Interiors

Hard to photograph this one but there were plenty of beautiful moments....I also think it was before the flowers were placed.....

CDK Interior Design

Poor Christy....she threw her back out placing the heavy bust!  Love the gallery wall!

Atelier Davis

So creative!  The wall was hand painted on paper then installed!

Bossard Design

The gorgeous Schumacher wallpaper was a great backdrop for this table.  And those flowers were real and amazing!

Davenport Designs LTD

My friend Lauren brought her grandmothers china and her sister did the floral arrangement.  Hard to photograph but it was stunning!

Balance Design

This one was hard to photograph also but it was extremely creative with the black rocks and flowers.

Every one had such creative centerpieces and there we were with a silver pitcher and a 7.99  maidenhair fern:)

 

Isn't it amazing how different they all were!

I went on a site check and saw 2 of the vanities I ordered online....was pretty impressed with them!

This one came from Home Depot

And this one was from Wayfair.  Of course the tile is the star here right!

Met with the floor guy who worked a miracle for me:)  Client wanted light floors.  Wasn't sure it would work with the old and the new mixed in but he gave us a great option!

Let me see if I can remember....1 part weathered oak....one part classic gray and I think special walnut...

And that was my week....well there was a lot more but these were the highlights for sure...haha

As I am sitting here writing this post Cami is staring at me for her walk and it is raining....don't know how to break it to her....

This was her last night looking all cute...

Hope you guys have a remarkable day....

Monday ramblings.....

I am staring Monday in the face and will punch it's lights out if it does try to wrestle with me...For real.

It was kind of a rainy, stormy weekend and on Sat night a huge branch fell on my house.  I say huge cause I'm six and everything is big!  Ok...it wasn't that big but it did make a loud thud and I looked up eyes wide.  There is a 100 year old huge oak tree in my yard [which by the way is why I can not get grass to GROW] and if it ever toppled over..... me and my continued state of half way decorated house would probably be destroyed.  Hence the prickly feeling when I heard the thud!

So...here is where we are today.  Went to ADAC last week looking for some fabrics and I saw some of the new Lilly Pulitzer line at Lee Jofa.

If you want color...

I think my Dad had some golf pants like this.

You thinking yes???

I am feeling Palm Beachy...martinis by the pool....

This one could become a classic.

real purdy....

And this one which is not part of the Pulitzer line but swept me away.....

Could you die?????

I actually used this for the bank project.....just for one pillow because it looked so good with this lamp.

Which I found while sourcing for that project.  I also found these....

And this next one...

Which all look good with that fabric.  On Bellacor  Great site for lamps.

And ....another party at Jan's and here are a few pictures of the table.  Vintage silver....Indian bedspreads.....color.

I changed out the pillows....

One last thing...somebody asked me if I REALLY have beads sitting on books in my house....

Yes I do...but I also do not have small children running around trying to eat beads either.  

That is it....fabrics, lamps, table decor, and confessions about beads.

All I got for today.  BUT.....There were some changes that happened over the weekend.  

Uh huh...the minute you post about something....BAM.  You'll see later on this week and I gotta tell you it is quite shocking for me.

Monday, stare it down.
