Since all the sunflowers are blooming all around .. I decided to keep my centerpiece from the 4th and coordinate my table using the red & yellow.  Here’s the bright morning sunshine coming in .. I love morning time in my house… the sun rising from the backside of my home.. which is where most of the windows are located.

    17. Debbie you AMAZE me!! Evertime I see all you do I feel like I've popped in to HGTV! Do they KNOW about you?! I think you would have a fulltime job there.

      Hey, I've got a favor to ask and it's not small. I need a button again and not for me but for a baby in need.

      Our pastor's daughter and her husband (both early 20's) recently moved to Oklahoma and they just sent me an email about a dear young family in our area who are struggling mightily with a life and death situation with their toddler son. Here's the story: http://wedehase.blogspot.com/

      I would like to post about this and put a button up that people could grab to ask for prayer on their sites as we all did for Stellan for so long. If you are willing, I will ask them for a tight-shot of him that we could use as the photo button. I just thought of you because you are such a loving person. If you do not have the time it's perfectly okay and I'll head a different direction. Thank you, Debbie. :)

    30. I can't explain how much I've loved yellow and red together; since I was a teen! As soon as I saw that red glass canister, I knew I was in love with this tablescape! And the bell peppers and (don't be ashamed...) limes. And oh, I'm going to remember how you listed where you bought everything. So easy to find out what came from where without going back through the post. Thanks for the tip!

    36. You did a really nice job on this ... great color combinations!

      I smiled when I saw your limes ... I noticed some in the kitchen tonight that look exactly like yours. We'd better use 'em ... or lose 'em!

      Thank you for the lovely comments. I'm glad you enjoy polishing silver too ... I think you and I are in the minority these days!!!

      Have a happy Friday!

      Bye for now,
