A Tablescape for Two for Autumn Jubilee
Tables for two have become the norm here this year, so for Autumn Jubilee (#AutumnJubilee2020), I have a festive fall tablescape for 2. Without being able to have friends over, it is more important than ever that the table be a welcoming and seasonal place for a meal. I try every year to use what …
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

This was the inspiration for a table with sunshine and springtime flowers, and one day blog hop. Once again, I wanted to do this table with only what I had on hand, using the elements in a new …
Table for Two
This year I have not been inspired by Valentine's Day. Usually by now I have red hearts all over the place, with my two heart table toppers displayed prominently. This year I didn't even get them out until this week, and even now they seem boring, just the same-old same-old. But it was time for …
Winter White
After the clutter of the autumn season, and Christmas, January is a time for scaling back, clearing the table, and cleaning up. For many years now, I have decorated our home in all white for the first month of the new year. I often say it is like a palate cleanser at the end of …
New Year Thrifted Tablescape, Recipe Ideas and a Quilt
Happy New Year! For our first holiday table of 2020, I gathered together a variety of gold and black items with an Asian theme. Amazingly, when it was done, I realized that almost everything came from thrift stores and estate sales. Only the flowers were new. The napkins were purchased new some time ago, and …
