February 17, 2020 by Susan 16 Comments

Welcome to the 577th Metamorphosis Monday! Many years ago, I used to race to get my Christmas tree down before the strike of midnight on New Year's Eve. Growing up here in the south, I used to hear folks say, "It's bad luck to keep your tree up beyond New Year's Eve." Pshaw! Who started that rumor anyway? lol Now I leave my tree up well beyond New Year's and I'm always sad when it's time to take it … [Read more...]

February 11, 2019 by Susan 42 Comments

Welcome to the 524th Metamorphosis Monday! Years ago I had a bunny-painted window hanging atop the windows in the upstairs family room. After a while, I began to crave seeing the windows in their wide-open, natural state, so I took Miss Bunny down. She now stands guard in the garage over a potting bench. I may move her back to the bonus room one day, but for now I really … [Read more...]

A Feather Tree for Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2018 by Susan 37 Comments

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you are having a lovely one! We are having some amazing springtime weather here right now. The daffodils are already up all over my yard, though not blooming yet.

An Enchanting Blue Hour Sky

January 26, 2013 by Susan 46 Comments

In April 2009 I posted a "garden party" table setting out on the porch. Do you remember this tablescape? The flower pots are actually Oreo "Dirt" Cheesecake dessert. The chargers for this setting were large terracotta saucers, the type that go under terracotta pots. The little elastic band on the garden gloves acted as napkin rings. (You can view this garden party table setting and get the recipe … [Read more...]

Yesterday for our Tablescape Thursday, I shared a Valentine's Day table setting with a sweet, romantic easy-to-make centerpiece.

So when February rolls around, it's time to think about cupid... And as it get closer to Easter... Once Easter has past, it's time to … [Read more...]
