Happy Tuesday dear friends. Can you believe April will arrive this Friday? That means one fourth of 2022 will have passed. I am excited to join seventeen table stylists for a tablescape blog hop full of ideas hosted by my friend, Rita from Panoply. If you are looking for Spring and Easter tabletop inspiration, you have come to the right place..

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,”
‭‭John‬ ‭11:25‬ ‭

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I love all of the joy it brings…Resurrection…New Life…Family…Food…Fellowship to name just a few!

I had planned to share an outdoor table, but the wind was blowing so hard it was impossible. Plan B was the dining room which is where we normally have Easter lunch. Most of my centerpieces are floral arrangements, but I opted for something different and really easy. No purchases were required. Using a yellow pedestal bowl, I placed a smaller bowl inside in order to elevate the rabbit. I then tucked moss all around the interior bowl and set the rabbit on top and filled in any gaps with more moss. The Fitz and Floyd rabbit teapot is part of the Herb Garden collection designed for garden enthusiasts. The tray is also part of the collection which was manufactured between 1996 and 2000. My sweet husband surprised me many years ago with all of the pieces on the table plus a tea set.READ MORE

Hello sweet friends. Can you believe February 1st is one week from today? I have heard from many readers that January and February are their least favorite months. However, February is one of my favorites because I love Valentine’s Day, and best of all…Renaissance Man and I celebrate our anniversary in February!

“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭

I am joining nineteen table stylists to bring you a Valentine’s Day Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by my talented friend, Rita from Panoply. You will find the links for all the beautiful Valentine’s Day table settings at the bottom of this post.

Sunshine Cottage has been reserved for a romantic table for two. I didn’t have any trouble getting reservations. We have a special chef for the evening, can you guess who? In case you are new here and might be wondering where is this cottage! Sunshine Cottage is my adult play house that I share with my two little granddaughters who love to play dolls, read books, have tea parties and spend the night parties. My sweetheart husband had it built for me in the summer of 2020. It has been a wonderful blessing for our girls and me.READ MORE
