Tuesday Turn About #1
Hey friends! Our week has just begun, but how is yours going? It was a busy weekend, and I’m working on a project to share on Saturday, but thought I would start something new on Tuesdays. Tuesday Turn About, that is… the best blog posts across the web!
Do y’all enjoy a great Jane Austen book or movie? If you love Pride and Prejudice by the BBC, we just may be kindred spirits (wait, that’s from Anne of Green Gables… I’m getting a bit mixed up!)
(BTW, if you want a really great way to organize and ‘hide’ your DVDs and other disk media, take a look at this Nifty DVD Storage Idea!)
What is a Turn About?
So, do you remember in Pride and Prejudice, and other Jane Austen literature, after everyone at the party is finished with dinner and they’ve retired to the parlor? Do you remember how some are playing cards, and some are reading books, and others are conversing, and then one person will walk up to another and ask, “Do you want to take a turn about the room?” And then they proceed to walk around the parlor, chit-chatting, usually about silly things that actually have a lot of underlying meaning (this always seemed so foreign to me, but it has always ‘stuck’ with me, ya know?). As they continue their turn about, they acknowledge others with a sweet little nod and ‘check-out’ the activities that their fellow party-goers are doing and enjoying.
What Is a Tuesday Turn About?
I started following blogs about 2.5 years ago. I REALLY enjoy looking at ideas, projects, décor, and crafts that other ‘creatives’ are sharing online. I’m thinkin’, since you’re reading this blog, you just might like to do the same thing! So each Tuesday, we’ll be ‘visiting’ other blogs to see what is going on in the ‘room’. Won’t you join me today as we take a turn about Blogland?! This is going to be fun! (Oh, and please be sure to ‘pin’ from original post… not from here! 😉 )
Some Gorgeous and Easy Tablescapes
I am beginning to enjoy and appreciate tablescapes more and more these days…. Do you enjoy setting a beautiful table?
Here’s my most very first Table for One… a new series here at My Wee Abode!
Maureen from Red Cottage Chronicle set a lovely, but simple, al fresco table…. Love the decanter!
Kreative K set a light and airy tropical inspired table!
And Yvonne from Stone Gable ALWAYS sets a gorgeous table… LOVE the blue and white!
Fantabulous Furniture
Look at all these cutie-patootie ottomans that Nancy from Cobani Bleu created! Her tutorials are great!
Want to bring a little ‘ooh-la-la’ into your life? Christy from Confessions of a Serial Diyer will show you how to do just that with these beautiful french-style chairs she made over!
At The Purple Hydrangea, Lisa had to makeover her makeover! 😀 What do you think… blue or gray?
Get Your Craft On

What do you think? Will you join me for another turn about? What should we check the ‘room’ for next week? Leave your ideas in the comments, and I’ll find some of the best for us! 😉
These are all fantastic features! The Internet is so big, it can feel like you miss out on so much. I love that you highlight all these great posts! And I am an Anne fan all the way…I guess that is why we are kindred spirits. 😉
Absolute kindred spirits! Thanks for being part of the turn about, too, dear friend! XO
I was completely WRONG in my response! But I now do remember the ‘turn abouts’ of old. 🙂 Thank you for a sweet reminder.
LOL, Leigh! I’m so glad you responded! Note, I didn’t say it had to be the CORRECT answer to be in the giveaway! 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for commenting here! I love hearing from you all! Hope you enjoy ‘turning about the room’ with MWA! Hugs!
Fun idea! Also where did you find that little miniature “stool” in your table scape?
Leslie, do you mean the little stool with the wreath and candle on it? It was from Gin Creek Kitchen… Here’s the link… https://gincreekkitchen.com/products/round-wooden-pedestal Hope you take a turn about with me each week, sweet friend! XO
