Decorating, Tablescaping, Before and Afters, Thrifty Finds, and Gardening
Welcome to the 244th Tablescape Thursday! The iris in my garden were at their peak last Tablescape Thursday but alas, I had no time that day to create a table setting. This week they were starting to wane but I couldn't resist one more tablescape using them as the centerpiece. Two weeks ago, when they were just beginning to open up, I created a simple table setting with the few I could find in … [Read more...]

You are so supportive, always got my back. Thank you! It's good to stretch our wings and try new things and I feel so blessed by the wonderful dearhearts I've met via blogging. That includes YOU! ♥ After … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 233rd Tablescape Thursday! Recently I was invited to a dinner party at the home of my friend, Ginger. I didn't have my camera with me but I snapped a few pics with my cellphone. Fortunately, I have a new cell phone and wow, cellphone cameras have come a long way! My other phone was just over 2 years old and though it had a pretty good camera, I do not think it could have handled the … [Read more...]
Welcome the 208th Tablescape Thursday! The daisies and a few of the mums from last week's bridal shower tablescape were still hanging in there, so I couldn't resist using them in another setting. Hope you enjoy. Whatever a man's age, he can reduce it several years by putting a bright-colored flower in his buttonhole. Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemmons-1835-1910)-American … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 206th Tablescape Thursday! Thanks so much for all your comments on yesterday's post. I haven't had a chance to reply to the questions left in the comments, since that post went up so late last night, but I'll definitely be doing that today. For this week's Tablescape Thursday, we're jetting off to Switzerland to dine on my friend, Cornelia's wonderful balcony. It's always such a … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 201st Tablescape Thursday! Wow! Has it been crazy weather where you live? We've been having stormy day after stormy day. Monsoon weather and lots of lightning! I awoke yesterday to find several very large branches in the turnaround portion of my driveway. They were so large I could hardly move them. So glad they missed the house! My decks are covered with leaves and debris, … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 195th Tablescape Thursday! Wow, what a week! This is turning out to be one of the busiest and most exciting weeks I've had in a while. My son and his sweetheart were here last night. We're all in wedding mode since the big day is just 4 days away. After dinner out we came back home and stayed up late into the night talking. I miss them terribly and love it when they are here … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 193rd Tablescape Thursday! This Sunday is Mother's Day. In honor of this special occasion, I've put together a table setting using very special table "linens." My Mom crocheted this luncheon set back in 1956 while she awaited my arrival. Here's a photo of my Mom (and me) around the time she would have completed this set. Unfortunately, I never really got to know my Mom very well … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 191st Tablescape Thursday! Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments left on yesterday's post. I so appreciate each and every one. Your encouragement is giving me the perseverance I need to finish the project. I know Easter has long since past but I'm still not quite done with bunnies. This time the bunnies are in a springtime breakfast table setting. Lately, I've been … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 186th Tablescape Thursday! Greetings! Hope your week is going great. Spring is in full swing here; everything is blooming up a storm! For this week's Tablescape Thursday, I did something I've always wanted to do in a table setting. I've always wanted to use Wisteria in a centerpiece. It's just so beautiful and fragrant and it grows wild here in the south. Each … [Read more...]
