Where do you keep it all?!?

I love this Blog Party topic. Just because I love seeing how everyone creatively stores, preserves and displays all of the beautiful china, crystal, nic-naks and accents they share with us week to week.
So, when The Tablescaper put out the invitation to join her in celebrating her second blogger-versay, I was happy to respond.
Happy Second Blogger-versary The Tablescaper!
 I have loved every one your inspiring, truly awesome tablescapes. They were my jumping off point when I decided to join this wonderful community of artistic people who design, create and inspire week to week. Your comments kept me going when sometimes I wondered if I was going off the deep end with this passion of mine.  I have so loved being a part of it all.

Here's to all of us, who delight in all things beautiful!

We begin in the kitchen

 where I am lucky enough to

have two pantries like this for storage.

One of course, HAD to be for food.

 Imagine that.

The other was immediately designated dishes only!

Of course there is the kitchen hutch.

Here I store the color coordinated accents

to match the kitchen decor

The island cabinet has two sides.

Again, every space must share with

  Tablescape items!

I finally moved the crystal

to their own little cabinet

in the mud room this year.

They seem happy all together now.

From the kitchen we move

 to the diningroom hutch

Here I store my fruit patterned china.

Hey look there's a space!

I have to keep that in mind for the next shopping trip!

The diningrooom buffet where the holiday

glassware is stored

It all looks pretty tame doesn't it?

Well, because we're friends I'll

let you into .....

the basement!!!

Every tablescaper knows it's all

about the accents.

Here is where the true fun begins!

This area is best for holiday specific items

used infrequently

A left over chest is best for storing....

Napkins! Of course!

My old Hoosier cabinet is also pressed into duty.

Here vases and apothecary jars found a home.

Ok, not so bad you say. 

But here is where I let my crazy out to play.

These storage bins have been

with me forever. I think they

were the beginning of it all! LOL

And yes my friends, they are labeled.

 By holiday, and just plain "party" items

Ok, out of the dungeon

Lastly, my old 'friend' recently relocated to the

sun porch, is also a treasure keeper

of the outside accents.

I hope you had  fun touring my addiction.

I certainly had fun celebrating

the Second Blogger-versary of

The Tablescaper

and thanks to her for his party

 and her weekly links. 

I wish her many more beautiful

settings in the future to share with us.
