We had a wonderful brunch with our friends yesterday. It really started off the day with fun! I was excited about my table and how I had set it so I posted a picture!

We had bought these adorable spider web doilies intending to use them in some of my windows as decorations; instead I put them under my plates as placemats, and they looked terrific! Many times I used doilies as a decoration. I buy valentine and shamrock doilies because they usually come in pretty large amounts for a small cost and you can easily fill a window for next to nothing.

I also wanted to post a picture of a beautiful painted parchment my cousin Jo gave me for our favorite season. I hung it on the french doors of my parlor. It looks so pretty.

Oh, and a carton that I had some supplies in marked "Halloween" was in the corner of my kitchen and as I was cleaning up last night after the very long day, Robin just happened to jump in. I thought it was fitting~~a black cat in a Halloween box!
