Tablescape Tuesday: A Need For Color

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:3‬

Happy Tuesday sweet friends! Thank you for all of your lovely comments about yesterday’s post and my precious friend, I know Bonnie Jean is smiling. If you missed it, you can read it here.

With all the gray and dreary days of January, I was in desperate need of color. I took apart my Monday Morning Blooms arrangement and did something a little different. Colorful and patterned dinnerware was the perfect complement for the flowers.

I was so thrilled to have a day of beautiful sunshine yesterday, and in the early morning it was casting light and shadows on my dining table. It was such a welcome change after days of rain.

The dinnerware by Tracy Porter is “Artesian Road” and is now discontinued. The dinner plate, salad plate, and soup bowl are different patterns with each having a bamboo-style edge.

Tablescape Tuesday: A Bowl Of Fruit

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27:9‬ ‭

Warm and cozy greetings dear friends!  It looks like an arctic blast is headed this way by the weekend…brrr!  We have had so many days of gloomy skies and rain, I have lost count.  I sure will be glad to see the sun and blue skies!  Since my home was decorated for Christmas  most of November and December, I am really keeping it simple during January! This weeks tablescape is brought to you by a Bowl of Fruit…come inside where it is warm and join me! 

There is something I like about seeing the bare wood of my table…it gives a warm ambiance to the space.
 For a quick and simple centerpiece, I raided my fruit bin in the refrigerator! I grabbed the dough bowl and filled it with red delicious apples, Granny Smith’s, sweet pears, and Cara Cara oranges. A simple fruit centerpiece looks amazing and smells wonderful!

Tablescape Thursday: Winter Simplicity

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday, Winter

“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90:12‬ ‭

Happy Thursday sweet friends! I hope that you all are having a good 2019 so far, sticking to your resolutions, and of course staying warm! With highs only in the forties yesterday and today, it definitely feels like January!  I can’t complain because the sky has been sunny and blue!  We have swapped things up a bit this week here at Everyday Living.  You might have noticed that there was no Tablescape Tuesday…I’ve had a busy week and I ran a little behind! So, this week we are having a Tablescape Thursday!  If you saw my Monday Morning Blooms post, today’s post might look a little familiar.  The carnations I used are once again making an appearance!  Pull up a seat at our simple table for four!

After all the the glitz of Christmas decor, I am in the mood for less. I know this will change, but I will enjoy the simplicity while it lasts.

The “Monday Morning Blooms” Wedgwood pitcher of carnations was repurposed for the tabletop!
