| My first grade grandson is learning about Johnny Appleseed this week and told me yesterday
that his teacher used math to figure out how old Johnny would be if he were still alive. "Imagine that!" I said. "Math CAN be useful." (Though I've never met her, I'm now a big supporter.) At any rate, here's the table.
I went to dinner at a friend's recently and loved her mattress ticking tablecloth, so had to run to
I got a couple of those little ramekins last year. Wish I'd have gotten four.
Only use these salad plates a couple of times a year, but I'm crazy about them.
And finally, the center/side piece. Candles (which I've had for, oh I don't know, maybe 6 or 7 years)
Oh, the Lord is good to me . . . . |

| ROFLMBO at your book redo!! You are too much, Girl. Johnny would love to sit at your "purdy" table. And for him, I think the red chargers are perfect! (he'd probably enjoy the book too. LOL) hugs, |

| OA...the ticking is perfect for this Johnny t'scape! And the burlap-looking bag with the apples, Fall leaves & Bible (dare I call it that!) sure smacks of his history. I'm going to try to remember your candle idea where you turn the wine glasses upside down & use those apples...love it! Cute, cute dishes ...especially those salad plates & ramekins! Really like how you decorate that wonderful table for two! Sweet! TFS! Jeanne S. |

| Here's to Johnny Appleseed and to another very creative Table... Love the blasphemous 'Faux Bible' !! Too funny.. Such a cute table and I DO remember large flowered and fruit patterns like that. The ticking (one of my favorites) looks so good with your plates and checkered napkins. Love how you put your centerpiece together with the burlap - apples and leaves...nice touch... Also those 'old candles' look pretty good too!! I think you've done Johnny - Proud!! jane |

| OA, just love seeing your tables and once again I'm laughing so hard with your Bible remake. I reallly like the salad apple plates and your ramekins. My guess is the ramekins are for baking and the dipping bowls may not with stand the heat. Cute red pot on your table. Love the apple candles on your upside down glasses. I'm glad your going to suppost DGS teacher after DGS story. So..... how old is JAS?LOL Punk |

| Johnny would have turned 236 years old on the 26 of this month. Now, if you're in first grade, all you really need to know is that he was alive when George Washington was president. |

| You are certainly a "creative" lady! I love your apple plates, really neat pattern. Gosh, you had lots of neat red things for this table, love that big red pot, pretty red handles flatware, and the ticking tablecover. Great way to display those apple candles too. How great that you had that burlap bag, it looks so cool with the apples and leaves tucked inside. Another fun table idea! P.S. your "creative gene" really kicked in on fixing up the book--we'd have never even known if you hadn't told us! LOL Luvs |
