n a month into this world of blogging now and am thoroughly enjoying content I read, the photography and the ideas about home, health, cooking and living. It is like having the perfect magazine -- only articles about ideas I love.I am amazed that in those three weeks, my own blog has had 700 views from 11 different countries! Special shout out to my brother in China, and high school friend in Singapore! I am certain that's how those countries landed on my stats report. But 5 readers from Australia -- Wow! I just think blogging is so cool! G'Day Mates! I hope you are enjoying my stories and getting some ideas, Down Under. I like to write about what inspires me and brings little smiles into otherwise routine lives. The greatest compliment I can receive is if something I write creates a little spark, a smile, or leads you to try something new. I'm just passing it along.
One of the delights I get out of other blogs are "share days." That's what I am calling them, but I am sure there is some Uber-tech blogging word that should be used. It's like show and tell. Everyone who loves the same topic is invited to share ideas, projects, and photos on a certain day of the week. You've seen me link to What's For Lunch Wednesdays and Romantic Home Fridays. Well, I have my new favorite share day -- Tablescape Thursdays!
I pulled together a few favorite things around the house that are green or remind me of being Irish. I wanted to showcase the new clover table runner I picked up at an antique store in Brookvile, Pa., for $4. See the beautiful embroidery? Added a green & white doily, hurricane candle, and sweet little replica of Anne of Green Gables home my father gave me as a souvenir from Nova Scotia. And Grandma's Ruth's Hummel figurine ~ she's German and looking very Irish, just like me! Oh, and my Wendell August Forge dogwood candy dish, sans candy.
So here's how you do it, you link your blog to the share page, and put a link to the share page on your blog. Easy, huh? I encourage you to follow my link below to see all the beatiful St. Patrick's Day tablescapes for more inspriation that you can shake a leprechaun's cane at!
I love your German little Hummel, I have a few I bought in Germany many years ago when I was single, now I gave my granddaughter a musical and dancing girl with flowers...she loves it! I love your tablecloth too. Here's me, a girl from Astoria-Queens who now lives in Ecuador and I'm your newest follower, how's that from so many far away places?! Come visit and follow, will have lots of visits.

ReplyDeleteI got into my china closet drawer to retrieve a white scalloped edge one of mine.. and much to my dismay, a homemade RED candle had bled onto it.. Grrrrrrr..
I put the candle in , as I do in most every drawer, to keep the linens ect smelling nice..
Dang Leprechauns...........

Very pretty, Erin. I know what you mean about blogging. Isn't it fun!? I love the tablecloth! I also have a couple of Hummel figurines from my grandmother.
ReplyDeleteThe linky party's are fun, too. I've told myself I just can't join anymore because I'm too obsessed and have too many other things to do!
Blogging is alot of fun. I have met and continue to meet such interesting and beautiful people here. Love your tablescape! I love the ones that have special meaning to the pieces. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting! Your comments are so sweet! As for the camera it is a Canon T2i EOS Rebel. My wonderful hubby got it for me for Christmas. I love using it, but am still learning how. It's a journey. Your comments just made my day! I thought my pics were rather amateurish! I hope you come back and visit. I look forward to your future posts.
