“For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭5:21‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday dear friends!  Can you believe spring will arrive three weeks from today?  It has already made an early arrival in our Appalachian Foothills…trees are blooming and daffodils are showing their happy faces!  I always love the change of seasons, because it brings refreshment…and tablescaping changes up a bit!  The colors of spring make it easy to set a beautiful table!  Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join me for 4 spring tablescapes!

Thinking Inside The Box

~ Decorating, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

 “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭

Hello my friends!  Are you experiencing a February heat wave in your neck of the woods?  We are setting record high temps in Alabama that will cause trees and plants to bud too soon, especially if we then have a freeze.  At least the rain has tapered off for now.

Ok, enough about the weather.  You may have noticed that I sometimes use a box as a centerpiece for a tablescape.  There are so many possibilities with flowers, greenery, decorative objects, etc. to fill a box.  My method is so simple that I wanted to share and give you a few ideas about thinking inside the box!

For a spring tablescape under the pergola, I styled the box with cuttings from the garden!

Hydrangeas, vitex blooms, and sprigs of gold mound spirea were placed in small vases inside the box.
