This is such a fun month to decorate, I get to see all my turkeys again. This year, the kitchen counter is graced with a lovely bouquet of flowers that DH brought me recently, just because. The pretty apricot color flowers went nicely with a large turkey and a small pie pumpkin. I like this …

Rustic Autumn Tablescape
While we had guests staying, we decided to invite another couple over that our guests knew for a dinner party. I decided to do the tablescape in a rustic theme with leaves and pine cones as the focus. I wanted an Autumn look without it being too holiday looking. I began with an ecru tablecloth …
Halloween Tablescape
We had friends come stay overnight recently, so I wanted a pretty table for breakfast. Halloween is close, so it gave me a chance to create a new tablescape. A few weeks ago, I went to the opening week of a new big box crafting store for our area, and found some wonderful black chargers, …
Pumpkin Tablescape
I just can't stand it, I cannot wait one more day for Autumn to begin. At this time of year, I always think of my mother and how much we loved to do things in the fall. We would decorate together, read Bon Appetit magazine together, plan our holidays, bake pumpkin bread, make wreaths together, …
Late Summer Cookout
Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer for most of us, but the actual end of summer isn't until later in September. This year the Autumnal Equinox is September 22, when day and night are equal. Finally, the evenings are getting cool enough to eat outside, so we had a meal on the veranda …

A Sunny Yellow Summer Tablescape
It is said that when a door closes, a window will open. I certainly hope that is true, as I have made a very difficult decision to make a change in my work life. Leaving my present job is coming sooner than I had planned, and I don't have another one in the wings. So, …

An Everyday Tablescape
Our weekend got flipped around when a friend suddenly became homeless for a few days. Her house sold and closed, then the movers came, but her condo wasn't ready so she needed a place to stay for just a few days. Of course, we spent a bit of the weekend sewing, instead of helping her …
