Tabletop Tuesday

Here at Applejack Lane, snowflakes have made their presence in the past 24 hours.  The inside is a little flaky, too, with snow people here and there.

From The Garden

Good morning from Applejack Lane.  Last night when I perused the garden, I found our first tomato along with a few cucumbers and peppers! 

So, this is what I have on my kitchen countertop for today.  I'll join Marty  at A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday.

Have a Boo-ti-ful Day!

This is one  of my favorite new things at the store for Halloween.  I think he makes a great addition to any table top design for the season.
I hope everyone has a Boo-ti-ful day!

Tabletop Tuesday

Mr. Pumpkin Angel has made an appearance at Applejack Lane just in time for Tabletop Tuesday.
He parked himself atop Grandmother's twig table...

Just have to love his toothy grin...

Marty at A Stroll Thru Life has more fun at her Tabletop Tuesday party.  Drop by to see her!

Hurray For The Red, White, and Blue!

My spool cabinet is a piece of furniture that gets redecorated the most in the keeping room.  I am in the red, white, and blue mood for the summer.

Start with a Madame Alexander Betsy Ross doll...

And a patriotic stitchery from my friend Valerie at Snap Peas...

Put them with a pair of kitchen scales and apples, and you get...

A red, white, and blue spool top table for Tabletop Tuesday.  Visit Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for more ideas,.

Just A Little Kitchen Nook

Welcome to Applejack Lane. I pulled out a lot of my patriotic decor this past weekend.  Here is a little kitchen nook I captured.

Tabletop Tuesday

It's Tabletop Tuesday time here at Applejack Lane.  Let's pop out the door and see  the table my grandmother made.

I recently found a gift certificate that was given to me for Mother's Day in 2007 to one of my favorite shops.  WOW!  How could I have gone this long and not redeemed it?  Long, long story.  So, I purchased this birdhouse...

Added my Fenton red bird...

Bought a button leafed fern from my friend Dwayne...

And Grandmother's table is complete!.

Would Miss Janice like my color scheme?  It's my very favorite!

Thank you Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for hosting Tabletop Tuesday.

An Egg-stravaganza For Tabletop Tuesday

Applejack Lane has been snowed under for over two months now.  This weekend, I pulled out some Spring decor.  I always put this dough bowl on the dining room table with my collection of Victorian blown glass eggs.  It's a very simple eggs-travaganza! 

All kinds of blown and painted eggs... 

Some are embossed; some are plain...

All are egg-tra special.

Thanks for dropping in today.  Marty, our new hostess at A Stroll Thru Life has more Tabletop Tuesday participants.

All In the Family, Part II

Last week, I shared a table vignette that I called All In the Family.  This week, I could easily name this post All In the Family, Part II.  We are very antique oriented in our decorating.  We've held on to a lot of family pieces as well as collected other old ones.  We're back in the living room today to view a small tabletop.
 
My mother had a pair of oval marble topped tables.  My brother took one and I took the other.

We have very few pieces that came from my husband's grandparents.  One thing my MIL salvaged was this lamp base.  I found someone who could paint a shade,  and I had the brass  refurbished...

My daughter gave me this porcelain pitcher for a Christmas gift one year.  She made it while she was in college.  The color goes so well with her great grandparent's lamp...

When my husband was in the army stationed in Germany, his mother asked that he bring home some Hummels.  This is one of two that he brought her..  The colors are perfect beside the lamp...

Thanks for stopping by Applejack Lane. Please visit Barb at Grits and Glamour for more Tabletop Tuesday fun.

All In the Family

Welcome to Applejack Lane. This post is my  All In the Family tabletop.  Let's take a look and let me explain.

A floral arrangement in an etched lead crystal vase, a Fenton rabbit,  a German pitcher, and a tilt top table...

This floral  pitcher is marked Germany and came from my mother's Highland County home...

Although this bunny is new, he came from the Fenton factory at Williamstown, West Virginia.  He is signed by a person who has the very same first and last name as our son.  I had to have it...

The etched lead crystal vase was a gift from my grandmother to my mother and father when they married back in 1942...

The tilt-top table belonged to my parents and was made by F.H. Rosen and Son,  local craftsmen...

Here is the label pasted on the bottom of the tilt top...

Made by F.H. Rosen & Son, Middlebrook, Va, Cabinet Makers Since 1895

My guess this table was made circa 1930-1940 since the son was born  around the same year as my dad...

So there you have it-my All In the Family tabletop display for today.  Join Barb at Grits and Glamour and Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for more participants.  Thanks for stopping by Applejack Lane.
