It's been another busy week of travel at My Place to Yours, so I'm sharing a tablescape I did recently when I visited my sister in Texas. Although she appreciates a pretty table, tablescaping is not "her thing" -- yet. But we had lots of fun playing in her dishes! She laughed at me for "shopping the house," but I think you'll agree that she had some nice things to choose from! As it turned out, we used family treasures. Some from our family ... and some from her husband's family. This gorgeous Homer Laughlin Apple Blossom china once belonged to her husband's grandmother. Easy to see why we were inspired, isn't it?

Welcome to My Place to Yours at this beginning of a new week! I hope it's a fantastic one for you. I'm so glad you decided to stop by today.

This is her 9mm handgun. And her multi- multi-volt taser. She knows how to use them -- properly. Her Daddy saw to that! She's also a cowgirl at heart ... ... and appreciates a peaceful setting. She's the baby of the four children in her family. Her dream is to have her own cosmetology business. Quite an interesting mix of interests, huh? I hope ... Keep Reading...
