4 Christmas Tablescapes

~ Christmas, Everyday Living, Faith, Tablescape Tuesday

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25:11‬ ‭
 
Happy Tuesday…who is ready for some turkey?!  I have hardly left the kitchen…I’m busy preparing for Thanksgiving dinner here on Thursday!  It is my joy to host every year…but it sure is a lot of work since I prepare all of the food!  It truly is a labor of love!  Each year I am thankful that our family gathers at our home for Thanksgiving as we give thanks to our great God for our blessings.  Since I will be busy in the kitchen today, I am going to leave you with a few Christmas tables from last year…it’s never too early to start thinking and planning ahead!

  Plaid placemats layered on a white tablecloth along with tartan napkins and a festive runner set the stage for a joyful Christmas Tablescape.  The Better Homes & Gardens  “woody” plates were introduced last year and are sold at Wal-Mart.READ MORE

Vignettes Of Christmas Past

~ Christmas, Everyday Living, Faith, Holidays

 “The Lord is good,
    a stronghold in the day of trouble;
he knows those who take refuge in him.”
Nahum 1:7  

Welcome sweet friends, I am so honored that you are here.  Since we are friends, may I share a little secret?  I am as busy as a bee doing something I said would never happen (never say never).  Did you guess?  I am decorating for Christmas and it is still a week until Thanksgiving.  Now let me explain… there is a very good reason. Everyday Living is participating in a Holiday Home Tour Blog Hop on Monday, November 27th!  Yikes, that is the Monday after Thanksgiving.  Christmas carols are playing, scented candles are burning, and glitter is everywhere!  Exhaustion has set in and it is time for a coffee break.  Won’t you join me as we revisit some vignettes of Christmas past.

 

  Only first time guests ever use our front door, so decorations are kept minimal.  From Our Door To Yours shared our small but festive entrance!READ MORE

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:22-23‬ ‭ 

Over two years ago, if you would’ve told me that we would still be blogging in 2016, I more than likely would not have believed you.  In August 2014 when I had this wild idea to start a blog, I had no idea where this journey would take us, but it has been exciting and oh so much fun!  We have met sweet people from all over the United States and across the oceans…and it would’ve never happened if it weren’t for our little space in the big cyber world known as Everyday Living!  In 2016, we posted 207 times…and I have a memory attached to each one!  Today, let’s dip into the 2016 archives as we share our ten most popular posts and then my personal favorite!
