Tablescape Tuesday: Patchwork & Sunflowers

~ Summer, Tablescape Tuesday

“The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15:33‬ ‭

It seems that we just began summer and so soon it will be gone!  Everything Autumn is popping up all over blogland and in stores.  I have a slight nod to fall in today’s tablescape set in the garden with sunflowers taking center stage.  Joining the sunflowers is a patchwork tablecloth my sweet Mother made for me soon after I got married.  You are invited to pull up a chair for “patchwork and sunflowers”!!

The setting was quick and easy with the patchwork tablecloth and sunflowers being the stars!

The sunflower blooms were so heavy that I had to place each bloom in a bottle to prevent them from toppling over!

Waterford & A Winner

~ Food & Entertaining, Giveaways, Tablescape Tuesday

“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 ‭

Happy Tuesday dear friends…I hope you are having a great week so far.  A couple of years ago, Butch and I visited the British Isles…Scotland, Wales, England, and Ireland.  While in Ireland we spent a day in the city of Waterford, famous for its exquisite crystal.  Of course, we had to take time to visit the factory and the showroom.  I am digging back into the archives to share a tablescape that was presented in their sparkling showroom.  You can see the original post here and read a little of the history of the House of Waterford Crystal. Be sure to read to the bottom of the post to find out the winner of Chef Frank Stitt’s cookbook, “Bottega Favorita”.
