At Wednesday, May 18, 2011 , A Toile Tale said...: Susan --
Thank you so much for the beautiful surprise of posting one of my tablescapes in you outdoor feature. That particular tablescape is one of the very first that I posted and one of my favorites. I was actually thinking about it as I set the table the other night for the post that I did today. It is outdoor on the same deck, but very different in feel. Your blog party was always my inspiration to begin blogging. I wanted to come to the party!!! Thank you for the opportunity.
