It's Table Top Tuesday

* 

Hello there Sweet Friends

and 

Welcome to Table Top Tuesday.

*
Hope this day finds you well and happy!!
*
Thought it was time for a fun day!
*

 The above picture is my before shot, 

 rather simple and unexciting,  but worked in
 between times, of other table centerpieces
 that have been there this spring.

*

Decided to switch a few things around

 for Summer,  so this is what I did in the 

dining room.

*

*
The 2 end pitchers were on the hearth of

the fireplace,  but I had seen on someone
else's blog where they had 3 beautiful
pitchers  on their table with nothing else.
So loved how it looked and decided to
give it a try.
*

At first I had them on top of a large

square of fabric that matched my
curtains,  but the square was not
big enough and the pitchers were
too close together and just didn't
look good.
*

*
Then I decided they needed to be spread

out to look nice but didn't want to put them
on the glass top because it could scratch
the glass but didn't have a table runner
that would go,  so took the existing table
cloth and turned it upside down and then
folded it.  then had hubby help me turn
it over, and wellah........an extra long
table runner.  Works for me!!
*

The pitchers look so much nicer spread out.
Then I have been wanting to add some shells
for summer,  so I broke out all my shells and
looked for my largest and prettiest.
Which you have seen already..........

*

*
Loved this shot with a photoshop gradient affect.

*

*

Decided the one shell  on the left was just

not quite large enough so decided to

swap it out for this one below.

*

*
Think it  looks better because it is larger
and you can see it easier.
*

*
The  pic has a posterized affect.

* 
Then I decided to take the roses out
cause I know some of you like a much
simpler look,  so thought I would let  you
see it like that as well.
*

*
It looks nice that way too,  but  with our
decor the romance and elegance
 of the roses in out!!
*

*
Don't you just love starfish,  they are
so cute!!
*

*
Just an extra shot with a photoshop affect,
this is equalized and posterized.
I love that it made the pitchers have that
irredescent look.
Be sure to click on the pic and enlarge
 it cause you can see the affect so much
better
*
Well Sweet Folks,
See ya tomorrow!!
*


Also, Please forgive me.... but, I totally
 forgot  yesterday,  
For those of you who are following the
pray for our nation challenge
*
our scripture reading for this week
is Psalm 73,  and we are to pray for
God to open the eyes of our fellow
Americans.
*


Hope you have a Wonderful Tuesday,
*


Blessings Abundant,
Nellie
