Tablescape Tuesday: Spring Fever!

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭

The past few days have been picture perfect! The beautiful blue skies, the beyond blissful temps and the most vibrant flowers have given me Spring Fever! You all know that I am outside any chance I get…especially when it comes to tablescapes! If you saw my post yesterday, you know I am in a brunch state of mind, so I thought what better way to have brunch than in the garden?! (And I wanted to use my new tablecloth that announces that spring is here!)
Please join us, and sit for a while!

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome”
Anne Bradstreet

The garden has come to life after winter, so I wanted a colorful and happy table setting!

Are you convinced how much I love color?READ MORE

Tablescape Tuesday: A Bloomin’ Birthday Weekend!

“For “the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.””
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10:26‬ ‭

Last Thursday, my sweetheart celebrated a milestone birthday, and we ventured off to Birmingham to Chez Fonfon…just the two of us! We had the best crab cakes you will eat anywhere and had a nice evening to celebrate the day that God created him! But, as you have seen on the blog, I enjoy making birthdays a special time for all the family. So on Saturday night, we had a small dinner party and I had no ideas for the table…it just came together! Since our azaleas are in bloom and they are too pretty to leave outside, I had to let them make an appearance on Tablescape Tuesday! Now I know the tablescape may look a little feminine, but Butch sure doesn’t care…as along as he is surrounded by plenty of good food, laughter, and an Edgar’s Bakery cake! We scored on all three! It was a fun weekend of celebrating his birthday!

The azaleas make quite a statement, whether in the landscape or on the dining room table!READ MORE

“…for behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land”
‭‭The Song of Solomon‬ ‭2:11-12‬ ‭

Spring is everywhere in our Appalachian Foothills and oh how I am loving it! The days are longer and the sun is brighter! I could hardly wait for an opportunity to take Tablescape Tuesday outdoors! After torrential rains last Thursday, blowing pollen on Friday, windy and cooler temps on Saturday…finally, Sunday was the perfect afternoon for dining alfresco! Join us in the garden!
