| After I couldn't post last night, I'm trying again. With a different subject. Later I'll give a third shot at showing my shopping goodies.
Anyway, I was either reeeaaaalllly bored, or just plain nuts, LOL, so I tried a lunch table for two. No food of course, that is Kathleen's job. ;o)
As many of you know, I collect the Trail of Painted Pony figurines. I have around 120 of them now.

| Purplemoon...I love the centerpc setting with your special Painted Ponies the best! That is beautiful & also that you used your new finds from this week...the cloche/metal stands are cute in this setting...and your crackled candleholder with the RW&B candle is perfect for it! I'd love to lunch with you at your table! TFS! Jeanne S. |

| Karen, I love them both--and I'm so impressed that you did them! You have just the perfect glasses, plates and bowls. Your new purchases sure fit right in too. Very nice--now add these to the albums, okay? Luvs |

| Thanks, Gals. Wish I'd thought of my Patriotic Ponies sooner for a vignette. They are in the big china cabinet with all the other ponies. I even have a special 911 Pony that is really wonderful. (note to SELF for next year!!) Luvs, you are so sweet, but I don't think my stuff is really up to Inspiration Album material. Unless I just do the Pony centerpiece in the 4th album. My table settings...I don't think so. LOL. Gosh, am trying to get all the Patriotic stuff down today, hugs, Karen |

| We are lucky to get to see both, I too like the pony one best. That's a neat candle thingy too. So sorry your legs are giving you trouble. I'm not really in a hurry to take my 4th stuff down yet, because there is not really much to put up now till fall. I've got a new dish cabinet and am trying to get it organized in between camping trips every weekend. Frou |

| Hi Karen, Here's my 4th table. I was in the middle of getting ready for 23 guests and took these in a bit of a hurry. I set the tables early in the morning and then cover them with sheets to keep the dust off until the guests arrive - hence the table you see with the sheet. The glasses were short-lived items that were sold at USA Gas Filling Stations. I don't know if there are any in operation anymore. I do remember that there was quite a controversy, as they used to fly a huge American Flag over their gas stations. They kept the flag flying, even after nightfall and many people were upset about it. At any rate, I've picked up a big collection of them - all from garage sales. Haven't see any in years and years though.
I didn't have enough of my new Pfaltzgraff star plates to use with such a big crowd. Maybe next year. |

| WOW, OA! 28 guests! I love how you've "mixed & matched" the table settings! Glasses are pretty cool...as is the flower pot candle holder! Hope you had a great day! Looks very festive! Jeanne S. |

| Karen, that looks great! You are really getting into this! Pink will be next, LOL! OA, beautiful table! Love those napkins and hurricane candles, as well as the glasses. I didn't do a table, as we didn't have guests here. I cooked a lot for the parties we went to, but just had a family dinner last night and I didn't take any pics. |
