Eve Speaks

Last weekend I left my husband and kids,

 to spend 4 days with 

10 amazing ladies.

Before I left for the weekend,

 I dressed Eve,

my lovely hutch,

in black and white.

No longer summer and not quite fall,

Eve was begging to say goodbye

 to her coastal look.

I took this transitional time to display some milk glass pieces,

 (from my overflowing Goodwill collection),

some damask print plate chargers,

and added in a dash of polka dots.

Speaking of collections,

I just can't stop myself from buying cute napkins. 

These polka dot napkins 

pretty much just jumped in my shopping cart.

How could I say no?

I have been this close to signing myself up to attend a support group

 for those with paper product weakness. 

Now, raise your hand if you think nothing says "cute" 

like these polka dot cupcake liners.

If I were a really cool mom,

I would've actually made cupcakes 

and used the liners as nature intended. 

Here is some more milk glass 

and to round it all out,

the "popcorn" bowl.

That's for guests to share.

Then, 

to drive it all home,

the BIG popcorn bowl.  

That's for mama bear.  

 I like to think it's those subtle reminders that say to the family,

"although I'm not home,

you can really never get rid of popcorn."
