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 …

Christmas Cars Tablescape
Last year we spent a truly delightful weekend in Lake Lure with our Mini car club. During the gift exchange, I got this adorable cookie jar. While I was in Greensboro last summer, I found some soup mugs with cars on them, and an idea for a tablescape formed. I put the cookie jar on …
Thanksgiving Tablescape 2019
With Thanksgiving just four days away, some families and friends may be having a dinner this weekend to be able to share this season with as many as possible. I wanted to have a dinner party with this table, but alas it didn't work out. Still, I can see the table as I come down …
November Tablescape
November is such a great month for tables, with all the lovely colors of fall. I like to set an everyday table for us to enjoy all month, this time featuring the two large pilgrim figures I inherited. To begin, I wanted the table to be full of color, so I put the burgundy tablecloth …
