Tablescape Tuesday: The First Appearance

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:16‬ ‭‬‬

Happy Tuesday sweet friends! I am always so thrilled that you stop in to visit with me. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our second granddaughter, Ella Mae’s little sister. We are all so very excited and she can’t wait to be a big sister. Prepare yourselves for upcoming photos!

I have been looking for a vintage or antique floral patterned china for a couple of years. A friend of mine that frequents estate sales and auctions had also been looking for me. She messaged me several weeks ago with a photo of a lovely floral china that she had found at a very good price and I said consider it sold. Today, it is making its first appearance on Tablescape Tuesday! I know it is old and it could even be antique and I know it is pretty!

Using a soft pink tablecloth as a background, I kept the setting simple to let the dish ware be the star!

6 Spring Tablescapes

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:12‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday dear friends! Can you believe a week from tomorrow will be the first day of spring? I can’t wait for my garden to come back to life after its winter sleep and to finally be able to enjoy a little alfresco dining. I thought It would be a great time to dig into the archives to enjoy a few springtime tablescapes!

 

With the arrival of spring comes one of my favorite holidays! We always enjoy celebrating Easter at our home with family.READ MORE

The Traveling Shamrocks

~ Food & Entertaining, Spring, Tablescape Tuesday

“May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks.
May your heart be as light as a song. 
May each day bring you bright, happy hours. 
That stay with you all the year long”

Hello dear friends! Today we are celebrating all things Irish at Everyday Living. My Renaissance Man recently had the DNA test for the purpose of ancestry. It wasn’t much of a surprise that it came back forty percent Irish. His grandfather’s surname is Kennedy. My ancestry is sixty percent English, Irish, and Scottish.

“If you’re lucky enough to be Irish, then you’re lucky enough.”

Join me as I share the tale of The Traveling Shamrocks…

 

Imagine my surprise when I received an email that something very special would be arriving in the mail…an Irish shamrock kind of special!READ MORE
