Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day.

This is a little flashback to 2016.

Today we are having a cookout with extended family.

I'm not hosting, so no new tablescape here.

Have a lovely day celebrating loved ones, service men and women, and

creating traditions with the people you love most.

Gardening Centerpiece

This sweet little vintage seed box makes a fun centerpiece.

(Thinking of using it for a Mother's Day table.)

Loving this addition to our spring dishes.

I adore Beatrix Potter's artwork. 

Peter Rabbit

So excited to add these Peter Rabbit plates to our spring table settings!

I bought enough for our table, and then an extra to put out in the garden shed.

(Early morning light before the sun in up.)

Not dish/table related, but this is my garden shed.

(You'll hear me called it Hummingbird Cottage.)

Happy Easter weekend.

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.
