4th Breakfast!

Red & white thrifted soda bottle --

This is our table setting for our 4th breakfast.

Chargers & nautical juice glasses from Pier One

Kate Spade plates

Star napkins Pottery Barn

I love the 4th of July, 

and our community knows how to celebrate!

Kate Spade diner themed plates are perfect for a breakfast.

(A photo from my Serendipity blog last year.)

Another photo from last year -- I love these dishes!

Spring Tables

One of our spring tables from last year.

{It is a little difficult to think about spring with snow outside.}

Our Palm Sunday centerpiece.

Hoping the weather warms up this week in time for Easter!

February Recap

We hosted a brunch for a school Sweetheart dance.

Crêpes and fruit salad.

We had our family Mardi Gras dinner with everyone that was home.

{We made our traditional king cake again this year, and it was delicious!}

The most fun was welcoming home our new puppy Missi on Valentine's Day.

She was the reason behind our impulse puppy plate purchase!

I think we'll use them to celebrate her each year! 

She was born on December 20th and is such a joy (and a lot of hard work)!

Family Sweetheart Dinner 2018

My cute teen folded the napkins this year -- alternating red and pink.

These fun 'love is in the air' plates are from Pier One.

The velvet candy boxes are from my favorite local antique stop.

I love old candy boxes...espeically with graphics.

{The box on the backside of the table has a victorian couple embossed on it.}

It just depends on what our couple/family plans are for the evening.}

Our 2017 Family Dinner.

I love this napkin fold for Valentine's Day. 

This was our table a couple of years ago.

Tables of 2017

Hoping to be better at documenting our pretty tables in 2018.

Our 4th of July breakfast was a favorite -- but few photos to prove it.

Our Back-to-School dinner is always a favorite.

Lemons/Lemonade theme this year.

Oven chowder for Halloween and a table set with our favorite spooky dishes.
