  22. Hi Emily, I love your table, and I think my favorite part might be the adorable figurine candlesticks. I have a weakness for figurines! And the yellow is so cheery. We really need some cheerful weather up here in New England. Still so cold! I see you have some garden flowers! I would love a glass of champagne in your crystal glasses! Linda

  36. Emily:

    This is such a beautiful table. The yellow just shouts Spring and the concept is brought through with the sweet basket of Candy Tuft. Just lovely.

    I'm so happy to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays - and that sweet Sarah told you about the party. She is a lovely lady. When you have a chance, I'd really appreciate it if you would edit your post to include a link to Seasonal Sundays. That way the viewers can easily pop back and forth to the other participants. Again, I'm so happy to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays!
