Several years ago I got a really cute thrift store snowman in blue, white, and silver. Last year I never got to use him as I used the blue, white, and silver Santa for my table. I was determined to make a table with him this year.

Beautiful tables, some simple, some more complex
December Snowman Table
Several months ago I visited a new thrift store. They have lots of household goods. I wandered around looking and found a set of 4 cute snowman salad or dessert plates for a couple of dollars. I just love snowmen. This is my fourth snowman table.
Looking Back at Thanksgiving
Today I’m looking back at my Thanksgiving tables during the life of my blog. The first year I was really just learning about blogging, and I only have a few posts left from 2015. I was visiting some wonderful bloggers who really were teaching me with their posts. I really loved seeing the beautiful tablescapes. I learned that word. . . tablescapes. I grew up in the 1950’s and 1960’s in a world where brides choose china, silver, and crystal. Holidays of any kind meant getting out the good china for a dinner. When I was little I called my mother’s china, turkey plates. We often had turkey for a holiday.
November Brunch Tablescape
Today I’m recycling a post from November 2016 with a few new mosaics. I hope you enjoy it!
A November Brunch with a dear friend means an autumn table and thankfulness.
Fall Tablescape Ideas
It’s September and apples, pumpkins, and colorful leaves are calling. I’ve added fall touches to my home even though in Florida, we aren’t through with summer. I am now trying to capture that feeling of autumn beauty. Natural decorations can make your home look really welcoming and really do freshen up your home for fall.
One of my greatest pleasures is enjoying a beautiful table set for the season. In the next few months, we’ll celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, and just the joy of fall. Are you ready to set a pretty fall table? I’m sharing a few ideas with beautiful examples of a wonderful fall table. Read More
A Simple Early Autumn Table
My home has many coastal elements. Every fall I am faced with decorating for autumn using my colors. I use more textures, tans, and browns. I add deeper toned colors as the season progresses. I look for softer shades of typical fall colors. I also love using turquoise in the fall with tans, browns, and golden tones. Officially it is autumn on September 22nd, but today I’m adding a few coastal autumn colors in the dining room.
Farmhouse Table With DIY Placemats
Those of you who visit often will remember the table lamp makeover I did a few weeks ago. I bought a roll of aluminum wallpaper to use on the base of the lamp. Last week I made DIY Cone Christmas Trees using some of the aluminum wallpaper.
Summer Red, White, & Blue Table
It’s almost July and it’s time for a red, white, and blue summer table. Today’s offering is a casual table set for a patritoic celebration. First I added a white tablecloth to the table. Then I used my new bright blue placemats with my white plates. A Dollar Tree red star paper plate tops the place setting. For those of you who don’t live in the USA, it’s just a fun table with colors used by many countries. Did you know that 29 countries use these 3 colors in their flags?
