redid the living room table on Thursday…

usually for the holiday season I’ve filled it with glittery purple, silver, and clear ornaments…

this time I decided to change up the display…

first I found a nice piece of fabric and then a a collection of some of my favourite ornaments which would usually be hung on the tree but instead went into the drawers…

I took the glass off the top of the table and filled it with the ornaments before carefully putting it back on…

then three sleighs were set on top… looks good…

this little red squirrel bounces around the garden like crazy, along with some other friends…

usually I don’t mind, but a few days ago I had to clean two chairs and a table from where their little paw prints covered everything, after the previous night’s rain, lol…

they are currently jumping onto the chair, then the table, and launching onto the bird feeder…

after wiping the chairs, I had to wait for them to dry before putting on the cushions… I’d cleaned up quite a bit of the mess, before I thought to take these photos…

little beggars…

on March 12, this is how the deck table looked covered in snow and with the very dilapidated old umbrella… and then on the 2nd of April when the new umbrella was installed…

Sunday, the chairs made it onto the deck… and Monday, the table got washed and the chairs set around it…

starting to look like spring;-)…

happy that I finally got a nice photo of the cute new little white orchids…

have had the plant for a few weeks now, but just couldn’t get a nice shot of a single bloom…

looks cute on the living room table along with the other new orchid and two little grape hyacinths which have just started to scent the air;-)…

and the new display in the table looks nice as well… some of my rock collection from Goose Spit with a few crystals thrown in;-)…

the decorating is taking shape…

worked on the living room table…

removed all the pictures, angels, sarongs, and stones…

found the bags filled with ornaments that have gone into it for the last few years…

got them into three of the squares and saved the last square for cards;-)…

and I also received the first card… woohoo…

finally took the time to move the table behind the sofa in the den…

it sounds simple, but involved moving the table into the hall, pushing the sofa (and carpet) to the side of the room, getting the table past the edge of the sofa, and then putting everything back, lol…

got it all done, found a quilt to put on the table and sat down to recuperate from all that exercise;-)…

looks good…

decided it was time to change the items in the drawer on the living room table… it is divided into four squares…

I took out the gardening books, summer kids books and cards I’ve received over the last while…

as I thought about what I would like to do with it I realized it was too soon for the Christmas display…

I came across my L O V E letters and thought they might be a nice addition…

I used them… reorganized and left items from my Happy Mail for Chocolate Lovers envelopes… had a magazine I haven’t finished reading as well as a few sticker puzzles I want to finish… added a few amethyst pieces and some hearts and was done…

learned something new as I went onto Facebook Marketplace and sold a coffee table…

was nervous about the whole process, but after talking with a few people and getting some pointers I jumped in…

I had ordered a lift top table so needed to make room for it…

after I put the table up, many people wanted to buy it… the first two ended up not able to come and get it but the third person offered more than I had asked for and came and picked it up in the evening… others made offers for less and some seemed rude just wanting to pick it up…

the person who arrived was lovely and had been watching for just this type of table…

it had belonged to my parents and has been used in our house until I took it outside for her to check it over…

happy that it has gone to someone who appreciates it;-)…

I might try selling something else, lol…

reorganized…

managed to get the table in the garage cleaned off, and reorganized my toolbox and drill in a corner…

good timing because The Preferred Perch will be delivering two fifty pound bags of birdseed and it goes on the table until I can put it into containers;-)…

then I finally cut back the Virginia creeper that was making it difficult to enter and exit the garage…

good day’s work;-)…

had a lovely afternoon on the deck yesterday…

removed one of the feeding saucers and cleaned the table… that took a long time but it looked shiny when I was done… looks ready for a meal with the boys;-)…

then I sat in the sunshine and read… so lovely…

at the end of the afternoon I brought in the planters which I am going to use to start some seedlings…

looking forward to getting the planting started…
