It’s been hot with beautiful blue skies most days here in central Florida. We did finally have several days of rain this past weekend. Maybe our wet summer season is here. I’m celebrating in my home with a floral country table. Read More

Rustic Bunny Spring Table
How are you doing this Wednesday morning? I hope your family and you are safe and sound. Today I’m celebrating my 72nd birthday with a pretty spring table. Nope, not seeing anyone; I’m just talking on the phone as I have done daily for several weeks. So, now let’s think about a pretty table to lighten the mood. I want a more rustic spring table. Several weeks ago on my last trip to Ross for Less, I got several items that are perfect for a table: a wood slab I’ve wanted for a while, a rustic rabbit figurine, and 2 springtime plates with flowering trees. The wood slab is the basis for the centerpiece. I cannot go buy fresh flowers so I added a faux flower arrangement with pink tulips. On the side of the flowers is the rustic bunny. I put a sheer pink ribbon around his neck. Ribbon has been also added to the vintage milk glass vase of flowers. Read More

The Red Snowman Table
I’ve been decorating for Christmas. I’m quite enamored with snowmen for Christmas. Living in Florida, I usually can only make one on the beach with sand. I made a cardboard box snowman the other week, and he is adorable on the front porch. I added wintry Christmas to the dining room with pine cone trees and an angel.

Black, White & Yellow September Table
For the last few weeks, I’ve been loving the black and white buffalo check decor on the blogs I visit. This year I happily embrace this sweet farmhouse look for autumn. My September table starts with a simple black and white tablecloth. I add a milk glass vase of yellow and white flowers for a centerpiece. Read More

A Simple Farmhouse Table
Last month I found an adorable pitcher with a cute cow on it at my favorite thrift store. I grabbed it and started thinking about a simple farmhouse table based on the cow. Don’t you love to find inspiration in inexpensive thrift store finds?

Sunny May Table
It’s the first day of May and we’ve been having wonderful weather the last few weeks. This year we have actually had spring! Yeah! All too often Florida goes from winter straight into hot, humid summer with little in-between. About 10 days ago a storm blew in from across the Gulf and brought slightly cooler weather. One day with a high in the 60’s followed by 5 days with highs in the 70’s. I’ve been smiling the whole time. Read More

Pink Easter Table
Spring means soft pastels to me and lots of pink. Today’s table was inspired by beautiful porcelain candlestick holders, napkin rings, and spring floral plates. Last year I found these beautiful candlestick holders with hand-made porcelain flowers at my favorite thrift store. I immediately bought them and put them away for spring. Last month I found these matching napkin rings at the same store. I’m not sure where they were hidden when I bought the candlesticks, but they are perfect for my Easter table. Each napkin ring flower is different.
