Time for a new August tablescape, once again using the placemats I made last year for my Colors of August post.

Patriotic Tablescape 2019
We had some friends over, and after they left, DH came in and insisted that the hydrangea be trimmed back as it was taking over the steps. I intended to do that anyway, just not yet. I wanted some of the gorgeous blue flowers for my July 4th tablescape. Hydrangeas last a long time in …
Al Fresco Tablescape for Two

Thanksgiving Tablescape
I love Thanksgiving, it is my favorite day of the year! We usually don't have company on the day, but we enjoy extending the holiday through the weekend before getting to the December frenzy. On Saturday, we are having a small dinner party of six, so of course that means a pretty table. I set …

The leaves are changing now that November's cooler temperatures are here, and I am enjoying the wonderful fall colors.
