Hello Friends! You have no idea how much all of your kind words and congratulations on my BIG announcement yesterday means to me!! So many times my eyes filled up with tears over the supper and love you all poured out, and I can’t even begin to say Thank You enough! As promised, I’m sharing one of the tablescapes from my NEW BOOK – “The Gift of Gathering” with you today, and I have some amazing blogging friends joining me! Get ready to be inspired, and plan your next fall get together!
Hello Friends! I’m so excited to be sharing my outdoor lilac tablescape with you today along with 13 of my blogging friends just in time for summer get-togethers! If you’re a long time friend of the blog, then you know just how much I love creating tablescapes! I also shared some exciting news about a BIG ‘ol dream of mine coming true in book form HERE not to long ago about tablescapes. Our lilacs are finally in bloom here in New England, and even though they only last what feels like a fleeting moment, I couldn’t resist creating this casual – elegant lilac tablescape outdoors. Come and see!
Hello Friends!! Happy Monday! We are kicking things off this week with a beautiful summer themed tablescape tour hosted by Alicia from A Burst of Beautiful. If you are visiting for the first time from the tour, then welcome! I’m so glad you stopped by, and I can’t wait to share my easy summer tablescape with you!
Hello friends!! Happy Friday!! I’m so excited for todays post for two reasons!! First of all, it’s a tablescape, and creating tablescapes is just about my favorite thing to do. Secondly, I have some amazing friends who are joining me, and their beautiful ideas are so inspiring!! So let’s get this party started!
One of the questions I get asked most often when I share my tablescapes is not where I found a certain tablecloth, or even about the centerpiece I may or may not have made. Nope, not about any of that, believe it or not, it’s about the glass goblets I used at each place setting. More times than not, I’ve found them at HomeGoods, because scouring those shelves in that slice of heaven here on earth store, is one of my favorite things to look for. But it’s not always the most practical when I’m trying to share the source, especially with a blogging friend who is trying to create her own beautiful tablescape, and is desperate to use the same glassware! Well you are in luck!
To me there is nothing more special than being able to connect with friends over a story, and I loved being able to do that with you! In case you missed it, you can read the whole story HERE about my inherited china set, and how this set of plates that sat in basement for years ended up sparking my love to create tablescapes. Some of you had asked about the antique silverware also seen in the photos, so I wanted to share where that came from as well.
I looked at my husband, and he looked back at me utterly confused, and without hesitation I confidently exclaimed “I’ll take them”! I wasn’t exactly sure, and didn’t really know then why I wanted them so badly, I just knew it in my bones – these plates were going to be part of my story. You can imagine the thrill in my husbands voice when he asked me on the car ride home why I said yes, but I just shrugged my shoulders, and replied “They’re just plates”. Meaning how harmful could a few boxes of fine china really be?
Hello Friends! I’m teaming up with some friends today to share some Easter inspiration, and when I looked back through my blog, the last time I shared something for Easter was in 2016! Now, I know I don’t typically share decor for every holiday, but I decided that 2016 was far too long. So today I’m sharing a sweet spring tablescape that could be just the inspiration you need for hosting this Easter.
I love getting outside after a long cold winter, and planting new plants is such a refreshing feeling with the anticipation of warmer days that comes with Spring. While I still may have a ways to go in my gardening skills outside, I wanted to re-create a gardening party tablescape, by incorporating terra cotta pots, filled with blooming bulbs.
