Festival of Tables 2012: Part 1

Welcome! If you're a first-time visitor, I'm so glad you're here.  We have a lot of fun here at My Place to Yours.  I hope you'll stop by often. Today I'm sharing with you half of the tables from last weekend's 11th Annual Festival of Tables at our church. It's an end-of-Summer fun event for the ladies of our church.  (I'll show you the other half of the tables next week.)  I think you'll enjoy seeing the creativity of our table hostesses.  Keep in mind that most of the pictures were taken before the candles were lit and the lights dimmed ... so you can see them better.  If you want a closer look, just click the pics twice to enlarge.   So, without further delay ...

What I Learned From A Power Surge

Whether you come here often or this is your very first visit ...

You know, here in Blogland, there's a lot of talk about restoring things.  Some of you are fantastic at restoring old furniture.  (I really admire someone who can make that look so easy ... I wanna do that!)  Some of us restore houses ... or clothing ... or linens.  If you're new to My Place, you'll soon learn that I often talk about restoring vintage linens. Sometimes here in Blogland we talk about restoring bodies ... or relationships ... or faith.  Sometimes ... Keep Reading...
