On one of those shopping trips, I came across the most charming dishware: Ma Maison, designed by Dario Farrucci for Tabletops Unlimited. Oh my gosh, it was love at first sight!

A Breakfast Brunch with Good Friends

July 6, 2017 by Susan 19 Comments

Welcome to the 459th Tablescape Thursday! In 2000, Martha tore down an old rotting screened porch and replaced it with a 4-season sunroom. Martha said, "It is my refuge!

Martha said, "Recently, I had my supper club over for a brunch. My … [Read more...]

A Magnolia & Lemon Centerpiece

Welcome to the 11th Tablescape Tuesday! On one of my trips to A Classy Flea this past summer, I came across this happy daisy china. It was love at first sight!

Vintage Copeland Spode

October 14, 2008 by Susan 38 Comments

Welcome to the 8th Tablescape Tuesday! The following tablescape is one I posted on Rate My Space many months back. I didn't want to use a typical floral centerpiece, so I scouted around the house for something I already had that might work well with a red and white tablescape.

Welcome to the 4th Tablescape Tuesday! Fall is definitely in the air here in the Atlanta area.

I wasn't exactly sure how I would use them. … [Read more...]
