The amazing Barb at Grits and Glamour had a fabulous idea. She's hosting Tabletop Tuesday each week, so this week, I am joining the first Tabletop Tuesday.
I have wonderful memories of Daddy holding that seashell to my ear to listen to the ocean.
I'm amazed at all of the ladies in Blogville who put together such wonderful vignettes. Be sure you go to Grits and Glamour for links to all of the tabletop vignettes today. Thank you, Barb, for hosting this fun event. Thanks so much to each of you who stopped by to see the memories I keep on my little desk. laurie

ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Laurie. Family treasures are always the best to me. Very pretty display.

ReplyDeleteWhat precious memories you have displayed in your desk vignette! I love the pencil box filled with crayons.

ReplyDeleteOh, I just love that Laurie! So frozen in time, so charming with the chair with toile, so many wonderful memories for you! Hugs, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Laurie! Your first Bible looks like my first Bible. I received it 55 years ago, this year, when I was 12. Up to then I borrowed the family Bible and had New Testaments.
ReplyDeleteI still have that Bible. It's yellowed with age. I'm still reading it. Do you remember doing Bible drills, as a child? We did Bible drills at church, usually Sunday evenings. I always borrowed a Bible without a zipper for those drills. Can you guess why? The zipper hindered speediness!:-)
First of all, I love your desk. I can just imagine sitting there and writing sweet notes.
ReplyDeleteYour collection of memory pieces are wonderful. I have the watch holder also...
Hello sweet lady...

I just adore that pretty saint statue holding that beautifully engraved shell!!! I remember seeing your shell before...I sooo adore it! Loved seeing all a few of your keepsakes from your mother and father and grandparents! The locket watch and pocket watch are both just gorgeous!!! Oh...and that pencil box...soooo pretty!!! Love that pretty design painted on the top of it! I just giggled when I seen your grandkid's crayons!!! Too cute!!! Well my dear friend, thank you so much for sharing your lovely desk and family treasures with us today!!!
I also went through your last post...love all of your fabulous needlework pillows!!! That bunny pillow is simply adorable!
Just wanted to tell you that I'm really excited about your Valentine's party...sounds like sooo much fun! What a great idea!!! I snagged your cute little Valentine button to put in my sidebar! Hmmm...now I need to start thinking about what to do! Hehe!!!
