Thought I'd pop in to participate in Tabletop Tuesday over at A Stroll Thru Life. 

I would love to tell you that I have some fabulous projects to show you soon, but I have been busy doing some BOOOOOORING stuff....2 tax returns for each of my daughter's, accounting for 2010 rentals for my extended family, getting our tax stuff together for our accountant ... and then there's stuff such as planting seeds in the garden and cleaning up flower beds, trimming trees, etc., that really don't make for good blog posts or photos!
The bookcases for my youngest daughter's room were suppose to be the next project -- 4 WEEKS AGO!!! That keeps getting pushed off. We were sure we'd start them this passed weekend, but we forgot about the fact that we had a neighborhood yard sale to participate in. :(
My mother in law's husband passed away and Mr. F and the girls had to make another trip(they drove) to Chicago. I wasn't feeling well, so I passed on the long trip. My youngest daughter had to fly home so she could leave for Florida for her senior trip.
My oldest daughter has an interview in Hollywood, California this Thursday and we've been making arrangements for that!
Ok, so that's the short version of all that's been happening at Casa Fanatic. I've left a whole bunch of stuff out to save you from being totally bored!

Here's a  couple of tabletops I'm loving these days... 


Found the metal birdie at TJ Maxx a couple of weeks back...



Found these apothecary jars at HomeGoods. The jars came with the decorations on them. Definitely icing on the cake! There will be another high school graduation party in another month at our house and these will look great filled with some colorful candy on the dessert table.




Thanks for stopping by! Leave me a note and I'll stop by and see you too! Sorry that I haven't made the rounds lately!

Pam

    Hi Pam! You have been busy for sure! Everything looks just lovely and I always enjoy getting to see the vignettes you create. Did those apothecary jars come with the extra goodies already on them? They are just darling! :-)

    Pam, I love your stunning little silver bird sitting on books displayed in a silver tray. Beautiful floral arrangement and vignette. Your apothecary jars are gorgeous. I love the ribbons and eggs you placed around the necks of them. How creative is that. Everything looks wonderful. You house sounds normal,but oh so hectic and fun Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

    You are having some busy times Pam. Sort of like that around here and J is retired! I often wonder how we managed when he was still working.
    Anyhoo...your vignettes are beautiful and I know you are looking forward to "normal"
    days:-).

    I'm also loving the silver tray display ... mostly because I have quite a few spare myself and you have given me some great ideas! Thanks!
