Easter is so late this year, that it has almost gotten by me unnoticed. I was setting a table for something festive, when I realized I had used all these same things in exactly the same way before. It was this table, from 2021, and I did it without realizing it until it was finished, …

Happy Easter Parade
This weekend the small town of Dillsboro in western NC was finally back to holding their annual Easter parade on the day before Easter. We were there in 2018, our first drive event with the Appalachian Mountain MINI club, and I posted about it then. See the cars and the parade from that year here …
Sending Happy Mail

Springtime Tablescapes for Two

One of the most wonderful things about living in western North Carolina are the small towns and the fun things there are to do with every holiday, and most weekends through spring, summer and fall.

Easter Decorating
Easter is just days away now. I didn't do a lot of decorating for this holiday this year. One thing I do have to put out every year, though, is this adorable, now vintage, Happy Easter train. Look closely and you can see the word Happy spelled out in twig letters held by the little …
