Pastel Blue Cottage Table

My friends and I often get together for brunch or lunch. Sometimes we eat out and sometimes we dine in one of our homes. Today I’m sharing a pretty, farmhouse cottage table covered with a handmade quilt. It was a present many years ago from my wonderful sister-in-law, the best little sister anyone could ask for.  It is a lap quilt with a hanging pocket  on the back. Over the years, I’ve hung it on the wall, displayed it on my bed. and laid it on tables.

Spring Bouquet With Blue Flag Iris & Amaryllis

When I was at Tasty Tuesday’s Farmers Market this week, one grower had a bucket of bouquets at $5 each. Each had an Amaryllis bloom as the major attraction and I wanted one.

It is grown as a potted plant in most parts of the United States but can also be grown outdoors year round in Florida.)

Country Star Tablescape

Last summer on a hot day, I found a wonderful King size quilted sham at my favorite thrift store. I love going through vintage linen for a special find, like quilted items.  I knew from experience, it would be perfect on my small dining table.   It’s darker blues and burgundy reminded me of cool winter days.  I put it away for a winter table even though it could be used anytime of year.
