An Everyday Tablescape
Our weekend got flipped around when a friend suddenly became homeless for a few days. Her house sold and closed, then the movers came, but her condo wasn't ready so she needed a place to stay for just a few days. Of course, we spent a bit of the weekend sewing, instead of helping her …
Patriotic Tablescape 2016
Summer time is the right time for a red, white and blue tablescape. This one was for our Memorial weekend cookout, and I'll be breaking out some of the same things on the 4th of July. The Patriotic Table Runner is one I made a couple of years ago, click on the name for the …
Springtime Luncheon Tablescape and Menu

Christmas Breakfast and Tablescape
Christmas breakfast is a time for hearty but easy. Something that can practically make itself while coffee and presents get the first attention of the day. The baked egg casserole fits this bill nicely, you know the one that you make the night before and put into the oven cold. I add some Cranberry Scones …
Christmas Dinner Tablescape
We are having our Christmas dinner with family and friends a little early this year, while my Mother in Law is visiting. My Christmas Tablescape last year was a bit more casual with my quilted table cover, but this year I wanted things to be a bit more elegant. We are planning to have a …
Thanksgiving Tablescapes 2015
Sitting down to a lovely table enhances the enjoyment of a meal with friends, and I do enjoy making a table pretty. The challenge is to make it different each year, using the same elements. I have a fair amount of storage space, but even I cannot store several sets of things for each holiday. …
