Tablescape Tuesday: What’s A Girl To Do?

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:12‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday lovely friends!  I hope your week is off to a great start.  I am excited about an upcoming get-away that I am sure you will read about in the very near future!

We have had rain everyday for the past ten days…I thought we were going to float away!  Major gloomy and gray skies have characterized our days here in the Appalachian Foothills.  This week’s tablescape had me drawing a blank…I had zero ideas!  Normally a trip to the grocery store for flowers would’ve sparked some inspiration, but when I went this week, it proved futile.  There were leftover Valentine’s Day flowers, and they just didn’t reach out and grab me…so I came home empty handed!  It was Saturday and still no inspiration…what’s a girl to do?  But, around noon the sky turned blue with gorgeous sunshine.  I started pulling out linens and dishware and then I had an idea…Granny Smith apples to the rescue!

Tablescape Tuesday: A Slight Nod To Spring

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:7-8‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends!  I am sending wishes for a very Happy Valentine’s Day to each of you.  I hope you all feel loved every day…especially tomorrow!  We will be staying in, as I have said before, and just enjoying the evening together!  I would love to know what your plans are! 

Since I have already shared a couple of Valentine’s tables here and here, today’s Tablescape is a little different.  Join me as we take a Slight Nod To Spring!

I had no inspiration for this table,  other than I wanted to use my Churchill toile dinnerware that I found at Tuesday Morning many years ago…

…this came together in a matter of ten minutes!READ MORE

Romantic Tablescape: How Sweet It Is

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday, Valentines Day

“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:7-8‬a

Happy Monday sweet friends…and welcome to Everyday Living! I am so glad you stopped by.  I am excited to be participating in a Romantic Tablescape Blog Hop this week hosted by the talented Chloe from Celebrate & Decorate! You will find the full line up at the bottom of my post, and you will not want to miss any of them!

Valentine’s Day can take on many forms…of course it is the holiday set aside for love…but that can look different in all of our relationships.  One fun way to share love with your family and friends is to send a simple handwritten note or card in the mail.  It can truly make someone’s day, especially those who might be alone! My sweetheart and I always stay in to avoid the crowds and long lines for a seat in a restaurant! It is the same tradition that we have continued for many years! The table in our dining room is set for just the two of us…complete with our very favorite desserts…lots of sweet treats!  After all…how sweet it is to be celebrating forty-five years with the love of my life!

Candlelight always brings a little something extra to the table.  I often light candles for everyday dinners, not just special occasions, as well as beautiful music playing in the background!
