Spring Chicken Tablescape and some recipe ideas
I promised a chicken inspired tablescape using the neat chicken planter I got in Myrtle Beach, and here it is! I did seriously look for some chicken plates, LOL, but not to be. Still, the spring green placemats look good with the green on the planter. I do have some chicken napkin rings, so they …

Springtime Tablescape and Blog Hop
Springtime brings lighter colors, warmer days, and a desire to go outside to the garden. It's a wonderful time when the air is clear, and warm gentle breezes drift across the veranda while we enjoy the sunrise over the mountains, and sunsets across the valley. I am so ready for it to warm up and …
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 …
Winter White
Now that the holidays are truly over, I like to create a cleaner space after the clutter of the autumn season followed by Christmas. For me, going to to an all white decor is a rest for the eyes before getting to the rich Valentine reds and Mardi Gras colors of February. The snow over …
Christmas Tablescape 2016 Rustic Green

Halloween Tablescape
We had friends come stay overnight recently, so I wanted a pretty table for breakfast. Halloween is close, so it gave me a chance to create a new tablescape. A few weeks ago, I went to the opening week of a new big box crafting store for our area, and found some wonderful black chargers, …
Pumpkin Tablescape
I just can't stand it, I cannot wait one more day for Autumn to begin. At this time of year, I always think of my mother and how much we loved to do things in the fall. We would decorate together, read Bon Appetit magazine together, plan our holidays, bake pumpkin bread, make wreaths together, …
Late Summer Cookout
Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer for most of us, but the actual end of summer isn't until later in September. This year the Autumnal Equinox is September 22, when day and night are equal. Finally, the evenings are getting cool enough to eat outside, so we had a meal on the veranda …
