If ever there is tomorrow
when we're not together,
there is something you
must always remember.
You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think,
but the most important thing is,
even if we're apart...
I'll always be with you.

~ Happy 99th Birthday, Mother ~
Well over a hundred years old,
this oak table now sits in my sister's dining room.
As a little girl, my sweet mother and her siblings spent many hours
playing under their family's oak table.
My sister and I played under this table too.
Little girls pretending or dressing paper dolls.
Oh the stories these old legs could tell
of family meals through the years
and children at play beneath these old table legs.
Four generations later, little ones still delight in the magic
beneath the big old square oak table that has been in our family
all these many years.
In honor of my mother's October birthday, I created a mini
tablescape on this family heirloom to celebrate the occasion.
A single setting for the
wise matriarch of our family.

This cleverly painted lazy Susan sits atop
the old oak table during the month of October.
Last fall at the annual
Round Top Antique Market Days,
I came upon a booth full of vintage items
embellished with seasonal decor.

My sister has the collector gene too.
I collect dishes; she vintage
wooden kitchen items.
I knew she would appreciate
a few of these charming pieces.
