Each time I visit Torie Jayne's blog, I just GASP over the decorating ideas she compiles and presents.
This photo makes me want to wrap my table in oilcloth and add little pops of red. (How would I adhere the cloth so that it could be removable? Secret duct tape?)
Love these bright color combinations from PiP Studio (another pick from Torie Jayne)
But back to pink + mint + red . . .
I nearly fell over (or off a tiny chair) when I saw these ornaments yesterday at the Martha Stewart section of Kmart. They are part of the Festive Confections line.
GASP! How completely adorable! I like the tripling of the satin roses.
Note to self: Add satin roses to Michaels shopping list
As sweet as these "novelty ornaments" would be on a tree, I plan to display them someplace in my kitchen or dining room. Maybe hung on the wall or from the chandelier by ribbons? Any ideas are welcome and appreciated, as always!

I gasp every time I visit your blog! So beautiful :) Thank you for sharing
OK, this is a super long link, but copy and paste it and it will be so easy. As soon as I saw your post, this other post from another blog stuck in my head and I had to search it out to find it. I know your tiny chairs aren't big chairs, but maybe they could be arranged in a frame-type thing to represent this -http://bakowbabble.blogspot.com/2009/08/no-empty-chairs.html Just a thought and if you use that thought, then you should have a giveaway of something cute that you make and I'll win it! OK, not really. Cute chairs and cute colors!! ♥
Pure magic! Twyla
OMG you get the coolest stuff over there! Martha's line is divine!!! Loving the colour combo, it's so Cath Kidston isn't it!
Oh, I love those little chairs! That Martha! I will visit that blog - it looks neat!
Thanks so much for your sweet comments - whenever you compliment my writing, I can't stop smiling because you ARE a writer, and your praise means a great deal to me!

Oh my that Xmas kitchen is the prettiest thing I have seen all morning.
Hello Sweet Elyse!
I love all the bright colors and those MS mini chairs are just adorable! Soooo you!
Hope all is well. Is it cold? Any snow yet? Are you having Thanksgiving or going to Grandmother's house? Bet the boys are excited for some turkey and gravy!!!!
Love,
Maryjane

Those are precious! Love the color palette!
These colors are so beautiful together. The oilcloth would be so cute!!!
Hi Elyse, Thank you for your sweet words about my blog, you could try folding in the fabric at the corners and fixing together using poppers or velcro on the oil cloth to secure, so you can take the table cloth on and off.
I love the cute chairs!
Have a sweet day! x
elyse, oh my gosh! these pictures are soooo pretty! i love the colors.

Good morning Elyse, thank you very much for your visit today and sweet comment, I really appreciate it (or aprecciate?), and your Spanish is very good.
I love coming to your blog, is a feast to the eyes.

Hi Elyse!
Perfect timing on your post since I'm just now adding little touches of red at my house. :) I also plan to paint a few items robin's egg blue (my fav) and minty green. Unfortunately, Hubby is not a pink-kinda-guy. LOL
I love the little chair ornaments & your idea to hang them from a chandelier. Other ideas? Hey - they'd look great just about anywhere!!!
Have a great day,
Zuzu
Hi Elyse :)
I have those pictures in my file! They're so cute and so different from anything in my house, but I love them :)
Very cute chairs!
xo,
rue
I so agree...I love her blog...my heart always falls in love with something over there. Just like your lovely blog! xoxo
Oooh pretty! I love that quilt!
Those little chair ornaments from Martha Stewart are adorable! They closed most of the K-Marts near me. But these little cuties might be worth the drive. Couldn't you use Velcro to attach the oil cloth? My grandma used to have oil cloth covering her kitchen table.

oooh beautiful pictures and beautiful blog too. I am so glad I found it - I just discovered you in Koralee's picks :-) x
oh I like your idea of hanging them by ribbons from the chandelier. very pretty
Hi There,
I found you thru my dear friend Lizzy. I had no idea you were from RI. We are neighbors..
Your blog is really beautiful and full of inspirational ideas.
I will be by to visit again very soon..
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Jo-Anne
I just painted my chairs... now I'm thinking they need to be pale pink. I didn't read the comments, maybe someone's already suggested elastic for the oil cloth?
Sunshine,

I've heard that you can attach fabric with starch as glue. When you want it off, just wash it away!
Oh I missed this post during my exile! Thanks for the link- these colors are so cute! ♥
