Florentine Nesting Tables

On one of my trips to Florida this month,

I had the opportunity to visit some antique shops in Ft. Myers,

while hubby was playing in a Baseball tournament.

I found something that I knew would fit in the car easily,

as they could be stacked inside of each other . . . Florentine Nesting tables.

I kept walking by these tables. Should I get them?

Let me walk by them again.

Do you do that? You see something you like and walk by it a few times,

thinking, do I really need it. Where will I put it?

Then you consult your blogging friends. What do you think?

After I walked by them for the third time,

and the friends giving it the thumbs up, and having a plan on where they will go,

they landed in my car.

I thought I had a plan on where I would place these tables,

but plans change. Although, they may land in another room in the future.

But for now, I love them by the sofa

and I have relocated the tea table to another area.

These last 6 weeks have been quite a traveling whirlwind.

Glad to be home and in full Christmas decorating mode.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

We did our usual Florida trip to spend our Thanksgiving with family.

Have a most beautiful day. I will be back  with lots of Christmas decor!

    I love them! I could not have left without them either. I have never been to the shops in Ft. Myers although our family has a place in Bonita Springs (right next door). I’ll have to add that to the list of things to do on my next trip. I’m happy they came home with you. They look beautiful.

    They’re beautiful, Shirley, and the type of item that can be moved around easily to new spots. So glad you sprung for them.

    Shirley, I love your beautiful new tables! I saw a set once and wish I would have bought them. I know what you mean about the traveling whirlwind. I’m on the road this week with my hubby. He travels a lot for work and since I home school my two children still living at home we decided to go with him this week. I hope that you have a happy Monday!!!

    Oh…I do that too. Walk by things 4-5 times before deciding…lol! But, you can always use more tables…and they did fit in the car after all…so I would have done that too! Now…let the decorating begin! šŸ˜‰

    They are lovely Shirley and you styled them so perfectly! I have a set of nesting tables (not nearly as pretty as yours) and now you’ve given me some great ideas on where I can put them!

    Shirley,
    Love the nesting tables! You and I both think alike and always scout out vintage/antique shops when traveling. We have a short trip planned to PA later this week to visit my MIL/SIL and family. Of course, I always have to take a detour by Lemoyne to visit our favorite place since its on the way.

    Have a great week and happy Christmas decorating!

    LOVE THEM!!!!! I have a pair of nesting tables with a beautiful fruit wood finish. I am inspired with your pictures to separate them a little bit more and display something on both levels. Why didn’t I think of that:)
