Welcome to the first day of Autumn Jubilee! Halloween is coming, and I had a fun time creating this tablescape for it. There is more than just mine here as well, be sure to check out the Halloween Tablescape blog hop at the end of the post. For my holiday table, I started with my …

Happy Independence Day Tablescape and Ideas
How is one supposed to have a cookout in the rain? The forecast isn't promising for this evening and it is foggy this morning portending a very humid day. Supposedly the rain will clear for a bit around cooking time, but I can't count on that. So, as I had to do last year as …

Crescent Dogs and Patriotic Tables
Memorial Day weekend is here, a great time for some finger food to watch the auto races on Sunday, or to take to the park for a picnic, or pack in a warmer to go hiking. Even if you are staying home, the weather looks nice here for a meal on the veranda. This tablescape …
Shrimp Flower Appetizer
With another holiday meal coming up next weekend, I thought I'd share a variation of my Shrimp and Avocado Roumelade appetizer. I fixed it a bit differently and tweaked the recipe too. Start by gathering your ingredients. Remember my thrift store score of these parfait glasses? No one says they can only be used for …
Easter Tablescape
Taking the Spring Tablescape from the blog hop to Easter was pretty simple. I already had a good theme going with the yellow and green colors, and a few vintage rabbits. Last year I got these Easter crackers to have for the gals at the office. But alas, the party I had planned to surprise …
Valentine Decorating
Valentine hearts finally came out over the weekend. I haven't done anything new quilt-wise for Valentine this year, unless you want to count the red and cream Scrap Dance Waltz. But I did put up a couple of things from years past. The pink candles came out to replace the Winter White of January. I …
Christmas Wreaths
My Christmas wreath from last year was a winter style, suitable for leaving out all winter. But, the ribbon was really sad, so I turned it into a fall wreath for this year. Of course that meant I had to do another one for Christmas. I scored a box full of glass balls and gold …
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing everyone a joyful holiday weekend! I wanted to share again my Thanksgiving post from two years ago about the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, as the great majority of readers haven't seen it. It really feels like the holidays are beginning when this day comes each year, my favorite holiday. I always wake up with much …
Busy Busy
Today is going to be a day of fun. It is prep day for Thanksgiving, and I plan to get in a bit of sewing too. I know not everyone has the day off to do some advance cooking, but those of us that do can get a head start. Usually I would only have …
Pumpkin Orange Bread
Autumn is the ideal time for pumpkin recipes, and I have a great one for you today. This pumpkin bread is a bit different, with a brighter more pumpkin-y flavor. Some years ago I made pumpkin bread using a standard recipe with ginger, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon - really it was a pumpkin spice bread. …
