Tuesday is Mardi Gras, and I want to show some ideas for making it fun. So sit back and enjoy some festive tablescapes, quilting projects and good food.

A Tablescapers Dream Store
While we were in Greensboro, I asked DH to take me to the Replacement China store just east of town. I've wanted to visit this store for years. They thoughtfully have provided a lounge area at the back with comfy chairs and a TV, so DH could read his Kindle while I enjoyed the displays. …
Lemon Fresh Tablescape
Summer is here, and for some reason that makes me think of lemonade, which is funny because I rarely have lemonade. Perhaps it is the vibrant yellow color which speaks of sunshine and warmth, and lazy evenings in the rocking chairs on the veranda. Whatever the motivation, I have been collecting a few lemon items …

The beautiful Asian print on my new table runner becomes the base for a Christmas tablescape also Asian inspired. Something different for this year!

The heat is not quite as intense in the past few days, so of course I began thinking about having a luncheon with friends over to enjoy the veranda. There are several new additions to my tablescaping closet, some from thrift stores and some from online auctions I just could not resist. When I saw …
Vintage Fourth Tablescapes
This year, I thought I'd do my patriotic table with a vintage theme. I had these Bell canning jars and a vintage-style milk crate for inspiration. It would be something a bit different than the usual flags for July 4th. Plus, making the table fresh and new from previous years using only what I had …
Aka Kuroguro Table for Two
This month I am sharing posts that are Oriental inspired, on a variety of subjects. Although I like a full table, and I don't mind a bit of clutter during certain times of the year, this Japanese inspired table for two begins with simplicity. Aka Kuroguro means Red and Black, so it is the name …
January White
After the richness and clutter of the autumn season and the holidays, I like to begin the new year with a clean and fresh look, simple and pure. Last night we got about 3 inches of snow, and this morning the view out the front windows looks much like my header photo again, just not …
