“With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!”
Psalm 119:10
“I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how he could love me, a sinner, condemned, unclean
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be!
How marvelous! How wonderful is my Savior’s love for me!”
Charles Gabriel

It’s not very often that I change my coffee table…maybe once a season, if that! Give me a moment to digress. Butch and I went to dinner in Birmingham last Friday and made a stop at Whole Foods…and I can’t make a trip there without stopping to admire their fresh flowers. I spotted a pretty bouquet of purple irises and lo and behold, they jumped into our cart with my usual purchases of parmigiana reggiano and fresh goat cheese.
Now, where was I? Oh yes, the coffee table! So, I arranged the irises in a vase and set them on the kitchen island to be enjoyed! Saturday, I added some snowball blooms and they made their way to the coffee table! The purple and white goodness gave a new look for the coming week which I had not planned, it just “kind of” happened! Don’t you just love when things like that happen?
The purple irises and snowball blooms…the inspiration for the coffee table vignette!

“…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!
