Paradise? Not A Problem With This Tablescape!

This is the time of year when most are thinking of getting away from it all to a tropical island somewhere. Paradise? Right? A paradise where one can lay on a white sandy beach. Maybe tickle their toes in the ocean waves as they walk along the coastline of some far away tropical island….

Memorial Day AlFresco In The Secret Garden
