The leaves are changing now that November's cooler temperatures are here, and I am enjoying the wonderful fall colors. Falling leaves is a nice theme for an every day tablescape for the month, providing an opportunity to use what I have in a new way. Beginning with the base, I place my Maple Star Table …

Happy Pumpkins Tablescape and Recipes!
October is starting to finally cool off, and a crispness is coming into the air. Outside, the trees are just now starting to show a hint of color here and there, and it is time for a tablescape, this year with happy pumpkins! I got out my Halloween box and started playing with the pumpkins …
Autumn Tablescapes
Finally, it is officially Autumn, my favorite season of the year, although it isn't cool enough yet for the sweaters and a fire in the fireplace. Now, I can get out all the pumpkins and leaves I love, decorate the house and create a tablescape or two. I love the colors of this season as …

Coming up in just a few days, the annual Apple Festival will run four days over Labor Day weekend in downtown Hendersonville, starting on Friday. This is really a fun event, such a small town thing.

Colors of August Tablescape
Now that I have placemats and a table topper, it was time to take a look at the tablescaping stuff and see what I could pull together in a different way. I wanted to shop my own closet this time. Amazingly, I didn't buy one single thing, all of this came from my stash. I …

It feels like summer here with the warming weather. While I was cleaning out the kitchen cabinets, I noticed that I had a lot of things with a vegetable theme, so I thought I'd do a table with them. I started the table with my Farmer's Market Picnic Quilt. No chargers this time as I …

Tulips and daffodils and my spring ceramic basket are a good starting point. Setting the table …
Aka Kuroguro Table for Two
This month I am sharing posts that are Oriental inspired, on a variety of subjects. Although I like a full table, and I don't mind a bit of clutter during certain times of the year, this Japanese inspired table for two begins with simplicity. Aka Kuroguro means Red and Black, so it is the name …
