The days are grey and foggy, but here is the way to uplift your mood and get inspired.
Scroll through the pictures, and there is a good chance you will plan to attend the 15th annual Lakewold Gardens Beautiful Tables Showcase (October 24-27, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.) in Lakewood, Washington.
This is a great opportunity to enjoy creatively decorated tables just before the upcoming Holiday Season and get ideas for your own holiday home.
Warm up with apple cider and cookies, look at 32 tables and vote for your favorite.
As a precious bonus, take a peaceful stroll through the enchanted gardens and enjoy their fall colors.
To keep it a surprise for you, here are just several views of the rooms with decorated tables, but plenty of views of the autumn Gardens.

I don't know if I will ever get there but whenever we drive by because traffic is too bad, I think of you.
ReplyDeleteWe drive to our beach and there's a short cut driving right by the entrance.
Thanks for making me feel like I've already been in.
