Setting a festive table early in the month for everyday use brings more cheer to meals in December. I've been collecting these dishes for some time now, finding a mug here, and a bowl there. I've added three serving pieces found online, but there is no room for them on the pub table we use …

Fall Tablescape for Autumn Jubilee
Finally we get to the Autumn Jubilee tablescape, now that we've made some of the things we'll be using. This table is anchored with our Harvest Festival quilt from the quilt along.

A Summer Garden on the Veranda, and on the Table
The summer flowering season continues, and the veranda pots have not been adversly affected by the heat. At least not yet. This lobelia is such an intense blue-purple, with the blooms cascading down the side of the ceramic pot. I love it. The white begonia is so prolifically blooming, it has been going for weeks …

Valentine Fun
Since I have been working on donating and clearing out my tablescaping and crafting areas, I have taken at least 8 boxes to the thrift store. And, I resisted going inside! I donated most of my Valentine stuff, like red candleholders with little heart cutouts, and more, and I had just decided not to put …

Are you ready to Welcome Fall? Get a fresh cup of coffee, or tea, or other wake-up you have in the mornings, and settle in for a long post with a fun blog hop. We are in September now, and it is time to turn our thoughts to enjoying cooler days in the northern hemisphere, …
Sunday Chat – Oliver, a new recipe, and a tablescape
Oliver has been getting a bit bolder, coming up to sit on the front mat that says Wipe Your Paws to look into the sliding glass door. Alms for a hungry squirrel? Please, nice lady, is there perhaps a peanut butter sandwich nearby? Now, I ask you, could you resist this face? Well, neither could …

Summer Sunshine Tablescape and Hop
Summer is here, and it is a good time to celebrate the sun with a yellow theme tablescape. This time I kept the color palate very simple with just yellow and white, with just a bit of green in the centerpiece. The chargers are one's I painted some time ago when I wasn't able to …
