The French Farm Table...
Ok... I am finally getting my post up about my french farm table.
I actually took these pictures about a month ago....
So you will have to excuse the fall decorating in these pictures...
sorry : )



This little table gets moved all over the house....
It now has a spot in our living room....


I don't know if you can see what is under my plates....
About a month ago, I received these beautiful vintage music sheets from a friend.
Thank you Rozmeen for sending me so many wonderful things...  I loved everything....


I only have a few items in my house that are this distressed.



I love decorating with food...especially pears. 


The red fabric that is draped over the pillow on the bistro chair will soon be made into a pillow.
I have a friend in Canada to thank for sending me that piece of fabric. 
Thank you Theresa!


I think this little table helps  add a lot of character to the room....
