| Amazing how much one can collect and share each year. I use to rearrnge my furniture all year long, now it's my decor! I've went from setting tables to decorating at least the whole dining room for every Holiday and some in between Holidays! Awe, perhaps thats why this forum is called 'Holidays' and not tablescapes.ya think?LOL Must admit it keeps me out of trouble and I do enjoy time The other little leprechaun is hiding out in one of my bird cages, TJ has her ladybug clover bib on. DGD brought this to me for her. DGD's kissing princess and frog are sharing this decorated
TJ's hat is to small! Should of added them to her Tea cart decorated. I normally hang something holiday related above this buffet. I replaced this picture that use to
May you never forget what is worth remembering, nor ever remember what is best forgotten. Punk

| Beautiful job on your China cabinet..those dishes look so nice in there. Boy are you quick with changing all of your cabinets out for each occasions! You know, seeing your Wedgwood Ivy plates up close, makes me realize that I had three of those plates and never paid attention to what they were...I donated them this Summer to GW! I should pay more attention..ya think? Nice green and gold touches on the buffet and the picture goes well with it all. TJ is a 'blast' to see ea time. She's all decked out for the Holiday in a cute outfit and the tiny hat looks adorable on her. Even your tea cart is all decked out and looking good. It must be such fun stepping into your home each holiday - espec for your DGD! There are so many cute touchs all over. She's gotta love going to DGMa's. It's like a fun 'Tea Party' each time! I wouldn't be surprised if she starts her own collections real soon jane |

| Jane, woe...how sad you donated your Wedgwood Ivy plates to GW. I can understand tho knowing you are moving. I so plan to do some big changes this spring and summer. Thanks for the comment on the picture above the buffet. Best get off here and do some cleaning or else head out Punk |

| Punk and Jane, had to laugh at you BOTH getting frozen noses (at the doc's, not from the weather). Punk, how sweet your little DGD already has tea sets. Tho I'm not surprised at your influence on her, she'll be a 'decorator' just like you I bet. I love her adorable kissing girl and frog. Too cute. Everything looks wonderful, my favorite is the tea cart I think. You make it hard to choose tho. ;o) I can't get over how fast you can change things and do so much in a short span of time. And make it look GOOD! If I worked that fast, it would probably look like an explosion at GW. LOL. TJ is prepared for St Paddy. (I'm not telling Teagan!) hugs, Karen |

| It all looks fabulous, punk! I love the greens for decor and especially love the ivy plates. I just noticed how perfectly *neutral* all of the other colors are within the room! It is the ideal room to change out for each of the different holidays. Seeing the 'princess kissing frog' statue reminds me of the old story.... A princess is walking through the garden when she stumbles upon a frog who tells her that a kiss from her would turn him into a handsome prince. The princess quickly reaches down, snatches up the frog, and stuffs him into her purse. The frog questions her... why wouldn't she kiss him to turn him into a prince?! She explains that princes are a dime a dozen, but a talking frog is worth a fortune! :O) |

| Punk, I love your China Cabinet all decked out for St. Patrick's Day. Your Wedgwood Ivy Plates with the green glassware look perfect there. The Princess kissing the frog is so cute, it is the perfect touch. TJ looks adorable as usual. she really loves being part of the festivities,doesn't she? Your Tea Cart and Buffet look great. Nana |

| Well, this is just a reminder to everyone that they should always check the maker and pattern on their dishware. You never know when you might need a match! |
|
| Karen, Jeanne, Party and Nana, thanks for all the sweet comments. It's because of you I do what I do!LOL I'm so thrilled to hear you have some of the same dishes Nana. I will have to go look through the posts and find your table from last year. As Party mentioned, we always need to check out the Punk |

| Party, love that story....yep, a talking frog is definitely a better choice than a Prince I think. LOL hugs, Karen |

| Party, forgot to mention the cute story. Gave me a good laugh! Punk |

| Fabulous decorating and clever story! I am so happy for you that you have so many different places to decorate (translate green with envy, which is an appropriate color choice for this holiday, don;t you agree??) LOL I don't have any Ivy pattern dishes, but I guess I'm going to have to cut back on dish buying as DH is accusing me of being a hoarder!! Rosemary missed out on a Valentine's outfit, but I did buy her a St. Patrick's outfit!! So she can join TJ in celebrating, LOL. TFS, |
|
| Candy, we know we're hoarders but at least ours is all clean and in it's place.LOL I can't believe you haven't come across any ivy dishes to buy. Thats crazy with all you find. I love Rosemary's new outfit you found. What size does she wear? I may get out more this year and come across something we can't live w/o for her. Karen, my nose is looking worse all the time.LOL Hope these don't keep coming out. So was all those years of being brown and beautiful worth it?NONONO!!! Jeanne, sorry I forgot to mention, your so good at finding what doesn't belong! You are right on again! Some nights I have so much going on it's hard to stay focused when posting. Punk

| I too love your decorating. So smart of you to use the candle holders to elevate your items, looks great! TJ looks so sweet and I love the ladybugs on her tray. I've always envied your ivy plates, so pretty and perfect for this holiday and spring too. The kissing frog and princess really made me smile. Party, loved your story too--talking frog best way to go! LOL This was so fun, thanks for sharing Punk. Luvs |
