Lovely Easter Table Setting

Lovely Easter Table Setting

Setting a spring time table for your Easter breakfast or dinner should become part of your annual tradition.  Remember your dishes or tablesetting don't have to match the decor of your dining room.

Luck O’ The Irish

Luck O’ The Irish

Everyone is Irish on St. Patty’s Day, but that doesn't mean you’re limited to shamrocks and green beer.  I love to shake things up especially at the dinner table.  This year, I’m doing St. Patrick’s Day with an Asian Twist.

Heart~Felt

Show the love with a special meal this Valentine's Day.  It doesn't take much more work to set a beautiful table than to lay out paper plates and the results are always appreciated. Red is a powerful color.  A little bit goes a long way especially when its paired with black and white. Instead of the usual charger, I found old records at … [Read more...]

Heart to Heart

“May no gift be too small to give, nor too simple to receive, which is wrapped in thoughtfulness and tied with love.”     L.O. Baird The best gifts for Valentine’s Day are the hand-made ones and those given from the heart.  Doesn’t matter if a small child scribbles an “I love you Mommy” in crayon or someone special cooks a week night dinner, you … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving Harvest Table

The fourth Thursday in November is a time for families to come together to share a great meal and appreciate what we have and express our gratitude for each other. Make your turkey and mashed potatoes even more appetizing with a fabulous table setting. I started with a woven charger in a deep walnut color.  You don’t need a … [Read more...]
