As you might know, I had a $60.00 gift card GIVEAWAY to CSN STORESa few weeks back.
SEAN at CSN ONLINE STORES has generously offered
ANOTHER FABULOUS GIVEAWAY...
THIS TIME, IT'S A.........
$70.00 gift card TO BE USED IN ANY OF THEIR ONLINE STORES....
CSN STORES has everything to make your dining room, kitchen and
all rooms in your home a dream come true for you.
*
I was offered this gift for myself or I could choose to GIVE IT TO ONE OF YOU....
I was offered this gift for myself or I could choose to GIVE IT TO ONE OF YOU....
and that's what I decided to do.
HOW FUN IS THAT !!?
You have all given so much to me...and I thank you !
*
*
I am totally in LUV with my dining room....and, most of the time....well, 90% of the time....it is done in RED and WHITE...
how lucky is it that I can add a few pops of BLUE and have an easy 4th of JULY theme, when the time comes......:))
*
*
I am using VERY inexpensive items today and
I came up with a summery theme for our dining room...
I'm always on the lookout for something cute to PLAY with..
but as some of you know, I am on a strict SOCIAL SECURITY BUDGET...
things really have to be CHEAP for me....
*
*
I purchased a basket of gorgeous RED GERANIUMS for our back fence but 'borrowed' them for the centerpiece of my today's table...
RED GERANIUMS are my favorite garden flower....
**
A darling place mat...CHERRIES..uh huh..that's what I'm talkin' about !
I fell knee-deep in love with these adorable cups...
I have my RED AND WHITE POLKA DOT plates stacked...the RED flatware is right there in the jar for you to use...Mostly this post is all about the PLACE MATS and adorable CUPS I found at BIG LOTS..
All four mats, as well as the four cups, are different but all blending well together in COLOR..I really love using different place settings sometimes..
an adorable SUMMERTIME place mat...AND...what in the world does that cup say??*
".....down by the sea....."*
...and OF COURSE, a majestic COQ of the WALK....*
I bought this little bright RED lantern for a grandson when he was a little fella...
Now, at 20, he isn't really interested in it anymore.
I'll save it for his WIFE, when he marries some day...
You know how we wives are about ANYthing that belonged to our sweeties when they were little !!
***
In the meantime, I will use it for a cute decoration wherever I might want to use it...
*
I am WELL aware that nearly all my tablescapes and such are in RED...
so sorry if you are getting sick of seeing it, BUT...
I LOVE RED and have quite a lot of things that MIX and MATCH...
The same color family, with a lot of BLACK and WHITE, makes it all so much easier !
I LOVE EASY ....
*
We sure are enjoying all the fresh, delicious and sweet FRUITS of the season...*
I envy those of you that live in areas that allow you to GROW YOUR OWN...
O, my!!
The place mats used here were $1.50 eachand the SO CUTE cups were A DOLLAR each...
all from BIG LOTS...
*
You can find much nicer things from CSN STORES, tho!! ;>)
*
WHEN the weather turns H.O.T. out here in WEST TEXAS,made on any really great bread...
lots of chips (not very good for us...bummer!!)
green onions...and peppers.
*
I LIKE vine ripened TOMATOES but...
NOT ON MY SANDWICH..
makes my bread soggy...
*
DESSERT TIME...were batting their eyelashes at me from across the produce aisle...
every single one of these juicy, sweet berries KNOW what a sucker I am for their REDNESS...
**
...gotta hurry and get them washed..
*
...so we can have THIS !!*
I NEVER tire of strawberries...MR. SWEET thinks he' s going to wake up some morning and find
a HUGE RED STRAWBERRY where I used to be !!
*
Oh HONEY !

BJ, thank you for your visit and the sweet comment. Your red table is pretty, nothing wrong with having a favorite color. The red colors make the table so vibrant. Love the gernium and the fruits on the table and the different cute placemats. Those mugs look so funny with all the not to decipher words. And your food, hmmmmmm - so yummy! On vacation in greek we had mixed fruits, topped with creamy yoghurt. That was delicious, too.
Greetings, Johanna
Lovely! Thanks for the chance.
Great giveaway! Love your red! I have enjoyed looking at your Alaska cruise pictures!
Red is always fun! I love that little lantern. I am so glad you are hanging on to it. Those strawberries look so yummy.
Your placemats are just beautiful. I wanted to just lick the whipped cream right off the page. I agree, I can't get enough of strawberry this and strawberry that. They are so wonderful right now. Have a great weekend.
I would love the gift card.
You always have cute tables, budget or not. It looks very nice. And, how kind of you to offer us the gift card. CSN gave me the chance to review a product or give a GC to my readers and I chose to give away a gift cert. too. It is much more fun to make someones day! Have a great 4th! You can put my name in the pot. Sherry
bj, when I go to bed at night..I end my prayer with "..and dear God, please let me end up living next door to bj so I can just once in my life sit at her table and taste some of that delicious food she serves! Ok?" :)
I don't pray about your tablescapes because that would just be asking for too much! You know??
Your kitchen just radiates warmth ....so welcoming, and the pictures are grand. (Good for you for keeping the red lantern for the future wife!) I would love to go on a shopping spree with your generous giftcard giveaway. Thanks for the entry!
Hi BJ,
I soooo love those placemats! And I never tire of seeing red, it's one of my faves and so cheery and bright~ Love those polka dot plates and I love what your hubby said about turning into the strawberry, so cute~
Oh, enter me please, I am eyeing up a bassinet at CSN for my daughter. Would love to win!
Cindy
Love your table. I love the hat and the polka dot plates. I'm a red and white girl too. The food looks great. Please enter me in the gift card drawing. Thanks and Happy Fourth!
Yay! My internet is back! Just in time to anter your give-away, God is good:>) I never get tired of your red table settings, LOVE them! And you.
I can see why you love your dining room. It looks great with the fireplace and all those wonderful accessories. That tablescape is lovely.
I've always liked red too. My Mom used to tell me that I should wear more red. :-) Thanks for your great giveaway.
I will never be tired of seeing your red! You have such wonderful items, and you stage them so beautifully! It's fun to examine your gorgeous photos!
What a happy table...love the placemats and those polka dotted plates. Have a great weekend, BJ!
Hi BJ,
I love your festive table! Don't worry, we never tire of seeing your reds -- it's a happy color that suits YOU perfectly! Still laughing about your announcement that you can still fit in your high school earrings! ;) Maybe I should try on my old cufflinks!
Hope you and yours have a wonderful 4th!
Warmest regards,
Bill
Your post is very pretty...love all the red! It brightens my day. Thank you for the berry red post. I would love to win the give away! Since I am a new tablescaper I need dishes, napkins, tablecloths and some placemats!

I don't have a blog but I truly enjoy reading others. I would love to win the gift certificate from CSN. Thank you so much for putting it out there
BJ, this tablescape is right up my alley! You know I love all that red and then you go ahead and add whipped cream on strawberries? Ooh girl!!!

BJ -- Love those placemats. Your reds are always so welcoming and your food just always looks so yummy! Happy 4th to you.
Personally I could never get tired of red - it's one of my favorite colors. Love your tablescape! But I have to disagree on the tomatoes LOLOLOL Nothing better than a ripe tomato and mayo sandwich. Of course you eat it so fast because it's so good that it doesn't have time to get soggy! LOL I'd love to win that card. Happy 4th!
BJ, your table is so pretty. I love all of the different coordinating place mats. What a fab giveaway! Please add my name to the drawing. I'll post the button on my sidebar. laurie

I would love to be able to win this! I have a slight obsession with dishes =)
Good morning bj, this post is awesome. With my brother and sis visiting I have been struggling to get some computer time. Usually Cheri' has me up and running but she is still in her crate with the door open. She is the funniest little thing. Oops here she is, Potty break, I'll be right back.
I'm back. I stopped in the cabin to have coffee with my brother and sil. They are leaving today. sigh.
This post like all of your posts is wonderful. Budget is my kind of shopping. You are the queen of thrift. I want to be like you. I am heading over to our NEW Big Lots soon. Small towns are not much on chain stores.
The giveaway is very nice. I would love to win. I would love to put the button on my side bar but since Beverly is my tech rep she would have to help me. smile. We'll see.
Hope I'm lucky.
Love you my sister friend,
Jeanne
