If you missed that previous storage post, you'll find it here: Tablescaping Storage. With an upcoming trip to Ireland just a few days away, I couldn't resist … [Read more...]

January 19, 2017 by Susan 43 Comments

Welcome to the 435th Tablescape Thursday! Recently I received an email from Gina saying, "Some friends gathered at our house for the annual New Year's dinner and the blue and white china was used. It's was a fun time in that we discussed what we learned and (won't do again) and what we expect to accomplish for 2017." What a fun dinner that must have been. I would love to have heard what everyone … [Read more...]

Crocheted with Love

September 30, 2008 by Susan 52 Comments

Welcome to the 6th Tablescape Tuesday! A few months back, I put together a tablescape using a crocheted luncheon set created by my Mom in 1956. Gollum did a wonderful posting about it on her blog, Designs by Gollum. I thought I would post it here on my blog in celebration of this week's Tablescape Tuesday. My Mom crocheted this luncheon set during the period she was awaiting my arrival. Despite many … [Read more...]

Found the sea-blue flatware at Pier 1 recently and it was half … [Read more...]
