Welcome to We Never Tire of the Beauty of “Old Glory”! I have put together a few of my past tables to hopefully give you inspiration. I love to decorate for the picnics and gatherings for Flag Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day. It is just patriotic and the thing to do….
I just realized that I had not shown you the Preakness Stakes Tablescape that I did for the Preakness horse race. Sigh! And for the record, I am not from Baltimore, even though “Maryland, My Maryland” is the song that is sung before the horse race, much like “My Old Kentucky Home” is sung before…
Dear friends, About 5 years go, I posted the following Kentucky Derby post along with a few recipes. As I thought about a new tablescape to celebrate the Derby, I came up a little lazy, so I decided I would not create a new post, but would re-publish this one. Sigh! So perhaps you missed…
A few days ago, I talked about ordering clothes through Stitch Fix, so naturally, I was drawn to a clothing post and the ordering and designing of a wrap dress. My first choice is from Laurie on the other side of the pond. Laurie at Vanity and Me designed her wrap around dress and she…
I have a confession to make. I set this tablescape up last year to celebrate the birthday of America. I loved it so much that I wanted to show it again…in case you missed it the first time around. If you saw it last year, just skip this one…but I loved that I used…
Uncle Sam! Folks, the Uncle Sam I am referring to is literally kinda old. I know, the other one is old too. LOL You see, I have had this newspaper stuffed gentleman for more years that I care to remember. I have had to replace his “stuffing” from time to time, but I still like…
The Captain and I love the Red, White and Blue and we really need no excuse to celebrate, but here are a few tablescapes and vignettes we have used in the past and present. There are so many occasions to celebrate during our calendar year, including President’s Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Columbus…
Fiesta Time! Cinco de Mayo! Ole! Can you believe that May 5 will soon be here before you know it? We have the Kentucky Derby on May 4th and then right into another entertaining day and tablescape. I love Mexican food. Yes, I am getting a head start on Cinco de Mayo. I posted…
As we wind down this past Easter Holiday and move towards Spring and Summer Holidays…I hope you are able to take a breather. Replacing a few windows and adding a French Door has gotten me in the mood to make a few other changes in my efforts of preparing for Spring. Like updating a couple…
I have a confession to make. I love a pretty cookie jar, and I particularly love a pretty cookie jar for a seasonal vignette. Like this adorable Easter egg cookie jar. Look! The little pink bird is wanting a cookie too! Please excuse the photo as it was getting dark when I took these photos….
My dear readers….I am re-posting my Easter Tablescape from 2016, I re-posted it last year too…because it is one of my favorites! I thought about re-creating it, but I am too lazy. Maybe next year I will re-create it, but add a little of this and take away a little of that. LOL If…
Dear Readers…the tablescape on this post was from last year but I just had to share it again as I love the gingham and pastels. I love bunnies! I love Gingham! I love Easter and Spring and pastel colors. And I had fun with this Easter Gingham tablescape, but then you know I always have…
