It's Mardi Gras today! The last day of the Carnival season. Of course, this year there hasn't been much party time, so a festive table will help bring a bit of cheer this week. We are staying home more than ever now, so some color on a rainy day is nice. Gold, green and purple …

Some Valentine Ideas
Well, I cannot decide if it was bad news day or good news day yesterday. My dental appointment that I have dreaded for days was postponed due to snow. We didn't get any snow at our place, but apparently the area where my dentist lives did. So, all that anxiety will now be postponed to …
Winter White Tablescape
Putting all the holiday things away, January is a time when I like to clean the slate. After the clutter and fullness of decorating for Autumn and Christmas, my January decorating is usually simple. Of course that means a new tablescape, so I set a table with mostly white and took a few photos. Then …
Setting a Christmas Table
Using holiday dishes is a nice way to have some Christmas spirit, especially this year. It is fun to get out the boxes, and rediscover the fun little things that bring smiles, like this little reindeer kicking up his heels.

Thanksgiving Table for Two

Summer Green Tablescape
We are eating more meals at home now, and it is really uplifting to make a pretty table for two. Getting out special dishes and putting what I already have on a table in a new way is refreshing and fun. Summer means everything is green and lush, and this was my inspiration for this …
Summer Tablescape for 2
It is the beginning of a holiday weekend, but it just doesn't seem like a festive time with so many events canceled. This weekend should be a riot of gardening in our downtown area with Garden Jubilee on Saturday and Sunday, but that is now moved to the individual garden centers. This just isn't the …
Springtime Tablescapes for Two
Staying at home means making more meals in the kitchen and on the grill. Setting a pretty table helps raise spirits, and eating outside is a nice change as the weather gets warmer. So, I set a lovely but simple table to enjoy a warm evening. My Sweet Babboo grilled some pork chops and we …
