15 Christmas Tablescapes & Centerpieces

November 24, 2025~ Christmas, Floral Arrangements, Food & Entertaining, Tablescapes

Welcome sweet friends! I know this is a busy week preparing for Thanksgiving Day! Perhaps you need to prop up your feet, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and just rest for a few minutes!

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Today I am sharing fifteen Christmas tablescapes to start you thinking about the Christmas season. Click on the highlighted links to see the original posts.

A pair of angels made their first visit to our dining room table! They have moved all over the house and I finally decided to use them for “a most wonderful time of the year” tablescape!READ MORE

Blissful Hues Of Autumn

October 6, 2025~ Alfresco, Autumn, Fall, Floral Arrangements, Monday Morning Blooms, Tablescapes

Welcome sweet friends! I hope your October is off to a delightful start!

“Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭89‬-‭90‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

The days are still warm in our Appalachian Foothills, but I am anticipating cooler days, leaves changing colors, warming up by the fire pit, and roasting marshmallows with our grands! The nights are now pleasant and the angle of light in the early morning and late afternoon is magical this time of year. Change is in the air!READ MORE

September Days & Tea In The Cottage Garden

September 16, 2025~ Autumn, Floral Arrangements, Food & Entertaining, Tablescapes, Tea On Tuesdays, Teatimes

Hello friends and Happy Tuesday! I cannot believe that half of September has passed. How quickly days fade away into months and new seasons come and go before we know it.

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

September is the gateway to my favorite month of October! However, I have thoroughly enjoyed these September days of cooler nights and days of lower humidities! Unfortunately, it is heating back up into the 90’s this week!READ MORE

Happy Wednesday! I set a table next to our woodlan Happy Wednesday! I set a table next to our woodlands in memory of my beautiful Mother who was a lovely example of a Proverbs 31 woman. Mother had the gift of hospitality and shared it with everyone. Karl Rosenfield peonies from my garden fill a treasured keepsake pitcher handed down from my grandmother! A beautiful floral April Cornell ‘Lillianna’ tablecloth and Famille Rose salad plates elevate the status of the old picnic table next to our woodlands. I have collected bejeweled enamel trinket boxes for many years and shared a few on the table for whimsy and fun. For memories of my Mother, click the link in my profile. 

“Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Happy October, my favorite month! My prayers con Happy October, my favorite month! 

My prayers continue for the thousands of fellow Southerners impacted by the devastation of Helene! The horrific videos across the Southeast of the destruction of entire towns and communities are heartbreaking. The loss of loved ones, homes, and businesses is unfathomable. Not only do we pray, but we help in any way that we can 🙏🏻

I rounded up a few of my child-friendly Halloween tablescapes! These are fun, not scary with my three grandchildren in mind! LINK IN BIO

Zinnias attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and goldfinches. They will bloom until frost, provide non-stop color, and are easy to plant from seed. They are a perfect cut flower! Do you plant zinnias?

From late June until about 10 days ago, we had temps in the high 90’s, zero rain, winds, and high humidity. Enter a ten day rainy period with overcast skies and humidity! Gardening is not for the weak of heart, but each season brings its own rewards and learning experiences!
