The old red table



~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


A few years back I stumbled across this old wooden table/bench at a yard sale.

I paid $5.00, shoved it into my car, and drove it home.

I use it as a planter on the porch

but this weekend I cleared the terra cotta off it, gave it a good scrubbing down,

and brought it into the living room.

I like the red colour for the season.

    I LOVE the table!! It has a farmhouse look, but in such a classy and elegant way. Beautiful and simple. What a feast! And you made all of this? This is a wonderful family picture. Did you celebrate Thanksgiving early with them?

    The table looks like it has been part of that room forever! Your mosaic is so warm and homey - perfect for the holiday season. And your menu has my mouth watering - bring on Thanksgiving!!! Thanks for adding a dash of red to Mosaic Monday today.

    A table with great character! Love the menu, and such a sweet photo of your family, I presume.
    Happy Thanksgiving!

    I started drooling as I read your menu. May be time for me to go start the split peas.
    I like your red table. Very cool. Years ago, I painted an old wooden ladder red and stuck it in my living room. Has me wanting to do something like that again.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
