Sunday Favorite's/ Michigan's Upper Peninsula/The Edmund Fitzgerald

Welcome to another Sunday Favorites ! Our hostess with the mostest, is the darling Chari. Make sure you head on over to her blog by clicking the link above. Chari has the most beautiful blog and you will find links to other great Sunday Favorites! I've added a few pics to this previous Outdoor Wednesday post.( turn up music here) One of the interesting places we toured last summer, while visiting Michigan's Upper Peninsula was the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. This museum, is located on Lake Superior's Whitefish Point, also known as the Graveyard of the Great Lakes. More vessels have been lost here than anywhere else along the Great Lakes, including the Edmund Fitzgerald.

An inside pic, doesn't he appear real!

On November 10th, 1975 the Edmund Fitzgerald struggled towards Whitefish Bay. The Captain radioed that it was the worse seas he had ever seen, when suddenly the light and radio beacon at Whitefish Point went off. The captain and his crew were left to navigate this horrible storm alone without any homing equipment

Welcome to my first Outdoor Wednesday, sponsored by our lovely hostess Susan at http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ Please visit her site for more lovely postings. This is a pic I took last summer along Lake Michigan. I don't have the greatest digital camera, but it was just starting to get light out, and I thought I would give it a try!

This pretty waterfall is Tahquamenon Falls. Located along Michigan's Upper Peninsula, it's a big one, and it gets it's color from the iron ore that was mined in this area. The color made it look like a big root beer float, and I kept thinking I could reach out and drink it!

Pictured Rocks lake shore located along Michigan's Upper Peninsula goes for almost 20 miles and is a colorful expanse of forest -topped rocks. This was truly a breathtaking tour, and one I would truly like to take again. It was so peaceful and the water was a stunning turquoise color. Thanks for stopping by, Cindy

Tablescape Thursday/apple blossoms

Hi all and welcome to Tablescape Thursday. Our hostess is Susan , the tablescape diva, you can follow the link above for more lovely tables. My theme to day is apple blossoms. I collected some for my centerpiece and used my Blue Hill china.

Blue Hill is by Noritake and I've had it like a billion years. I have used lace table cloth fabric. You can purchase table cloth fabric at most fabric stores and all the ends are finished except where they cut. I think this was about 12.00 for 2 yards.

I used a piece of blue pottery that I have owned for years as my centerpiece, along with freshly picked apple blossoms.

The napkins are from GW and were new. I tied some scrap silver fabric for my napkin holder's and used my recently found 1847 Rogers Bros. flatware. If you remember I got the whole 51 piece set for $5.00 at a garage sale. It was a fabulous deal!

This china is still pretty to me after all these years. Barbie and Bill target birdies were put back to work.

I borrowed the little blue fabric candle holder from my daughters room. The other little votives are from ikea.
