What is it about an old farmhouse table that tugs at my heart.
When I see it I hear it calling my name.
Please take me home.
I have quite a few of these old tables.
But this is the first pink one.
Look at that old chippy paint.
The color is perfect.
Sort of reminds me of Annie Sloan Antoinette.
I placed it in front of my old farmhouse door in my kitchen.
Just a sweet touch of pink.
An old bucket filled with dried hydrangeas from last fall.
They still hold there color.
Looks pretty with a few pink Daisy’s too!
I like it with my daisy’s in my favorite old pitcher on top of an old chippy corbel.
Yes I do like this too!But I think for now I will keep this pitcher on the mantle.
And keep that old bucket on this old farmhouse table.
I think for now this is the perfect match.
A little pink in the kitchen.
Did you notice those sweet wire hearts?
Two wire hearts made from wire.
They were free when I bought the table.
I think I will keep them out for awhile.
Valentines day is over.
But they are too sweet to put away.
Speaking of Valentines day if you read my facebook page you would have seen the surprise my husband gave my daughter and I.
My husband made a special card.
One to read together out loud.
At that point I think we both screamed!
One of our favorite family places to go.
It has been five years since we have been there.
My daughter has grown so much.
Before she is all grown up we wanted to take her back.
Now on to planning our trip.
Looking forward to making lots of wonderful family memories.
Thank you sweet husband you are the best!

Ohhhhhh Anne this is so romantic and touched my heart. Your hubby is so sweet and what a beautiful surprise for you and your daughter. We go every May to Disney in Florida and it is so much fun to have my whole family together. It is fun now to have my granddaughter at 3 years old enjoying Disney too like my girls did when they were little. You are going to have so much fun. I love going there and I am a grown adult. It is such a fun happy place.
I also love the pink table. That is the sweetest find. I love the old bucket on it the best too. You find the best treasures. Have a great day.

Hi Anne: That little table is so pretty, I can’t believe you found it in that chippy state and in that particular color. It looks so good in your kitchen. Well, as I was reading down the cards I was thinking, what a sweetie, this is so cute and sweet, what a neat guy, then when I got to the last one, I bet I screamed louder than you did! What a thoughtful, fun and great gift. I’ve been to Disney Land but not Disney World Lucky you (sigh).. Happy Friday..Judy

JaneEllen says
Hi I”m new to your blog and decided to subscribe right away. Love your little pink farm table. Don’t think there are any in this neck of the woods, haven’t ever seen one anyway, anywhere. We don’t have that many antique stores here either. You must have a talent for finding farm tables if you manage to find them often, lucky. And that awesome chippy paint. Your tablescape is wonderful with bucket of hydrangeas, table.
What is wrong with having hearts out for decorating all year? They’re such a sweet symbol of love and caring, nice to have out to remind us (if we need reminding). Look forward to visiting your blog often.
Anne says
Thank you so much Jane!
It has been pure luck to have found those pieces.I cam across a new antique dealer.She has lots of cool treasures.Going back today to see if she brought in anything new!
