Setting an Easter Table. Matthew 28:6 “He is not here; for He has Risen, as He said.” Tomorrow is Easter Sunday and our church is having a Sunrise Service as we have done for years. It is a special time as we sit outdoors under a big tent in the early morning hours and celebrate…
I am so excited to share this special post with you today!! I am the 14th Keeper of the Traveling Shamrock Cloth and so thrilled to be a part of this tradition!! Wait! You might say…St. Patrick’s Day was two days ago! And you would be correct. You see, I had a choice of sharing…
My dear friends, I have rounded up 4 St. Patrick’s Day tablescapes to share with you…. perhaps inspiration for your own table this year or down the road. In 2018, my post of “Irish Santa Visits My St. Patrick’s Day Tablescape!” featured a Santa dressed in green. He is sorta leaning on my centerpiece consisting…
Friends…I wanted to take the time to talk about company and a few desserts I’ve made the last couple weeks. You all know about sheet cakes and I absolutely love how quickly they can come together and look good and taste good. The Captain and I have had visitors/family and friends the last few weeks…
Elementary, My Dear Watson, says Sherlock Holmes as he acknowledges the Belated Birthday wishes from his friend and colleague. You see…Sherlock Holmes had a birthday on January 6th and of course today is January 23rd…so the birthday wishes are a bit late. What?

Hi You’all…The following post was originally posted in 2018…but I decided to revive it because it contains the houses of two of my favorite Christmas movies. There are so many funny lines in both movies and when Hurricane Ian hit Florida in 2022, we had a metal beam from our pool cage break through our…
A German Christmas Tablescape. I have had these beautiful bright red Vintage Waechtersbach Christmas Tree dishes for a long time. And because I have an Irish background and red hair…I have always loved these candy apple red dishes. Don’t ask me why one has anything to do with the other. These days I sometimes don’t…
Yes, November is a Symbol of Gratitude & My Birthday Month. Actually today is my birthday and I can not help but reflect on my life and all the blessings and joy I have experienced. As many of you know, I had Pancreatic Cancer and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ brought me through all…

Is Black the new orange? Well, sometimes it can be and as I struggled to come up with new and different table pieces, I decided to find inspiration from a table I set several years ago. As I assembled pieces from my stash…I realized I did not have a lot to work with….when I finished,…
Goodbye Summer Hello Fall is actually a continuation of Summer for me as I live in Florida! However I do decorate for the four seasons as if we have them. This table has actually been set up on our dining table for a few weeks as I just love the colors. I had the plates,…
The calendar tells us it is time for another Patriotic Celebration. And I love celebrating the red, white and blue. I really love decorating the outside of our home, but this year, I can’t do that as the roofers are putting on a new roof after Hurricane Ian visited SW Florida last year. It requires…
