Susan Louise, come on down to Texas and we can decorate my house/deck. I'll thrown in lunch, tea on the back deck, and 3 pugs that would just love to visit. Everything looks beautiful. What fun.

Hello Everyone...and thank you for all your kind comments! ${#emotions_dlg.wub}$

whitelinen - The pedestals I used for the amber and green spheres (green one with bird) are the silver mercury glass pedestals of VPH...item # in my OP. The pedestal I used for the pink sphere is a painted ceramic one I got cheap at Hobby Lobby for $6.95. I was unable to use the tallest of the 3 pedestals from the VPH set because there is only 16" from the top of the cabinets to the ceiling, so I couldn't use it with a sphere on top...too tall. I really love the antique look of the silver mercury glass pedestals...I don't put batteries in them and love them better unlit. I think if they were lit, it would take away from the colored sphere theme...but that's just me...HTH Smile

Hidegarde Withers - I got the table clock at Terry's Village (item # IN-91/6698). Would you believe we have 2 of them?! I originally bought it for decorating for the holidays back in 2011 to pair with the VPH Dickens Carolers. The street lamp at the time was sold out. I loved the clock so much I ordered another one as a spare in case anything happened to it and decided to display it most of the year.

Anyway, it is currently on sale for $19.98 if you or anyone else wants to get it ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup}$ ...don't know how much longer it will be available at TV since it had been offered for a number of years already...so keep that in mind too Wink

Susan Louise may I ask where you got the large cat in your first picture or an item number if it is from QVC??

You have beautiful taste in decorating and I really enjoyed seeing your pictures.

I got the Jim Shore garden statue from QVC back about 2007-2008. It is not available anymore, However, if you really want one, you are lucky. Currently there is one available on EBay for $39.99 for starting bid and $52.99 if you want to just buy it now (that is about what I paid QVC several years ago).

Type in the EBay search "Jim Shore Heartwood Creek Garden Cat Statue 4002237 Enesco"...HTH Smile

It's good to see how others use the spheres. They intrigue me, but I couldn't figure out what to do with them. My first instinct says fireplace mantel, but I think mine is too narrow. Anyway, very inspiring.
