“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

Botanic Garden – Spring Tablescape Blog Hop

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26:3‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends. I am so glad you are here today for a little springtime inspiration. But first things first, I received emails from so many of my sweet readers asking if we were safe from the tornadoes that hit Alabama on Sunday afternoon. We live about 120 miles from where the tornadoes hit in Lee County. My thoughts and prayers are for all those who have lost loved ones. There are 23 known deaths and people are still missing. The devastation of property is unbelievable. So many lost everything they had. They are saying as of last night that it was an EF4 tornado with winds of 170 mph and that it was a mile wide. Six tornadoes were recorded in Alabama on Sunday. There is still flooding in our area around Weiss Lake and the Coosa River. Thank you so much for praying for my fellow Alabamians. We are prone to tornadoes, and if you have ever been near one, it is so very terrifying!

On a lighter note, I have joined a group of talented tabletop stylists hosted by Chloe from Celebrate & Decorate to bring you springtime tablescapes. You can find the links for all at the bottom of this post. Come in out of the cold, and join me for a botanic garden!

It feels like winter over most of the country, it is in the upper teens this morning at my house. But on my dining room table it looks like spring!

The centerpiece might look somewhat familiar if you saw Monday Morning Blooms. I did add pinkish-purplish spider lilies to give it more of a spring look!READ MORE

The Traveling Shamrocks

“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
