Tablescape Tuesday: Just Because

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

 “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and I dare say the way to mine is through flowers.  My sweet husband knows this, and often buys me flowers…just because.  He doesn’t even need a good reason…just to show his love for me!  He came on Saturday with a dozen beautiful pink roses in hand, and naturally I started thinking of how to incorporate them into this week’s Tablescape Tuesday!  With gloomy skies, colder temperatures, and possible snow flurries predicted, I wanted to set the table with a nod to spring, but still winter appropriate!

When you think of the South, you probably think fried chicken, sweet tea, and Southern Living magazine.  You can find the fried chicken and sweet tea on our dinner tables, and Southern Living on our coffee tables. But one of those things is not exclusive to the South. No matter where you live, you have probably heard of, or maybe you’re even a subscriber to the popular magazine. And chances are, you have heard that they recently released their 50th anniversary edition.  I have been a subscriber for more years than I am willing to admit, and it truly is a picture of what living in the South is like.  With the release of their golden anniversary edition, it really hit close to home, and today I want to share with you how my life and Southern Living have had a beautiful intertwining through the years…


There were four covers for their February edition…and you cannot imagine our excitement when they chose a local venue for their anniversary celebration!  All 4 covers were taken at J & D Farms in Southside, Alabama owned by our friends Danny and Jana McEachern…but why is that important to us?!READ MORE

“My name is graven on His hand, My name is written on His heart.  I know that while in heaven He stands, No tongue can bid me thence depart”
