Easter Preps

A fun table from a few years ago.

Favorites for Spring!

Spring themed dishes (and Christmas themed dishes) are my favorites.

These are some that I've added to my collection over the past few years.

After holiday sales are the best, and companies usually care dinnerware 

for more than one season. That makes it nice for adding a few more pieces each year.

Another Halloween Table

Another October table.

Mixing and matching to make a table for eight.

Using black and white dishes from multiple sources.

Loving the black stripes from Pier One this year.

Wiccan Lace (222 fifth) is a favorite of mine.

I'd love to add a few more place settings. 

I currently have 4 dinner plates and 4 salad plates.

Happy pre-Halloween! Just 5 days away!

Simple Autumn Table

Base for each table setting was this fun little pumpkin charger from Pier 1 (2018).

The place card is a combination of vintage silver, pearl acorns, and tags.

Simple table.

Love fresh flowers in the fall -- especially Delilahs.

Back-To-School Theme & Dinner

Our outdoor back-to-school dinner 2018.

We loved the 'Won't You Be My Neighbor' movie.

Mr. Rogers inspired our back-to-school theme this year.

Be Kind.

Sunflowers and lots of little bee items -- 'bee' kind.

Linking to Between Naps on the Porch 517th Tablescape Thursday.

Items used:

Pier One --  gingham napkins (2018)  and sunflower placemats (several years ago)

Bee items - local neighborhood grocery store and items collected over the years.

Neiman Marcus - Wallace Napoleon Bee

TJ Maxx - Cynthia Rowley plates

Tuesday Morning - glassware

Flowers - backyard & local flower market 

Each child picks a word for the school year.

We had chicken, rice & veggies.

Dessert was various kinds of ice cream -- specifically honeycomb.

4th of July

Happy 4th of July! 

Not table related, but by window boxes are suffering in this heat!

I'm trying sooooo hard to keep my flowers blooming.

(It isn't an easy task!)

Our community has a fun week of celebrating leading up to the 4th.

Hot air balloons for 2-3 days -- we love going out and seeing the sky filled with them.

This was our dinner table...slightly similar to the brunch table.

Happy 4th of July
