I’m joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday~
It’s been a whirlwind of a year. I thought I would recap my most viewed and favorite tables. I was surprised to realize in looking back, I had “played with dishes” 42 weeks this past year :-) I’ll recap the top 12 viewed from the past year with the title you can click on if you’d like to take a further look~
Giving Thanks
My Giving Thanks tablescape was not only my top viewed table, but also my top viewed post of the year~ which seems appropriate, since I am thankful for the warm reception and the generous comments I’ve received, as well as the friends I have met since I started my blogging journey almost a year ago.
Mad Hatter’s Tea Party
I sometimes feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, wondering how I got here & what I did before this blogging adventure :-)
Pontoon Picnic
A Bowl of Cherries
Happy 100th Tablescape Thursday :-)
A Tommy Bahama State of Mind

Thank you for your visit & your comments~
If you’re like me, sometimes you need a nudge from a book or magazine to jog your brain and get your creative juices flowing. If you are looking for tablescape inspiration this year, I invite you to join us at Food for Thought , where pages from your book mix with your kitchen & camera. It can be an adventure to plan a table provided by theme or setting found between the covers your book, along with a tasty morsel :-)
Join us here Feb. 1st as I co-host Food for Thought with Jain.
Visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for more dish fun in 2011~

I’m so glad you did this recap.There were a few I had missed. I love how the change of pillows and throws make your boat look entirely different!

Marvelous ALL!!! I continue to love the fact that you are unafraid of color and texture!!! And you’re not shy about hauling your wares about! Bravo!!! I look forward to seeing lots more of your ingenious creations in the coming year! Thanks for stopping by my place earlier this evening!
You’ve set some beautiful tables! I really like “By the Sea”. You are incredibly talented!
These are all just wonderful tablescapes…your guests must feel very special! I especially love A Dog’s Purpose and A Bowl of Cherries…
Well, I could just NOT decide which was my favorite. With each picture I thought it was THE one until I saw the next picture. So pretty, all of them.
Love them all! Great recap. Such a wonderful setting with your beautiful lake and countryside. Looking forward to following you in the new year! Happy New Year! Mrs. S.
You have an eye for putting together all things beautiful! I look forward to another year of your creativity.
Oh my gosh you’ve been busy!
many are familiar..but not all..thanks for sharing such neat ideas.. now all we need is the waterfront:)
Every setting is one of a kind and am loving them all. I spotted so much pretty ideas, that one day, I will apply in my home. TY for sharing.
Happy TS…

So many beautiful settings, table and otherwise. I really enjoyed it.
I haven’t seen all of them since I just started blogging in June but I poured over each one and every detail…they are all magnificent! I could never pick a favorite! Thank you for sharing your year with us.
You’re killing me here, girl!
What a magnificent post! I downloaded several of the recipes you shared…including Candace’s favorite pizza. I think we’re firing up our wood-fired pizza oven over the weekend…this is going onto the menu!
Such a fun journey through your adventures. I really admire how you live and love life large! You really set an example for me to stretch outside of my comfort zone a little bit more.
Thanks for the inspiration for 2011.
And thanks for linking to Alphabe-Thursday’s Letter “M”!

I don’t know, Mary, how you picked your best tablescapes as they have all been wonderful with a great sense of style. I have loved the ones having to do with the boat and water.
I loved looking back through your delightful tablescapes — they’re all beautiful — I love how you put them all together for our enjoyment and delight! Looking forward to more tabletop fun in 2011!
I loved looking at all your tablescapes! You love dishes as much as I do!
It’s a sickness isn’t it? But seriously, you created some amazing table settings. I loved them all, but A Dog’s Purpose stands out to me and the Harvest table. I look forward to seeing more tables from you this year. ~Delores
Wow! I so missed alot of these. I just adore every single one of them. You are definitely my food for thought! I love the Christmas one but the ones on your pontoon are my favorites! They are all so beautiful!
Thanks for the recap, each table is beautiful, so many minute details.
Each and every single one…exquisite! I love them all Mary! So much work has gone into each and every detail! Just an amazing job! Thank you for sharing these lovely photos with us!!
