How the Tables have Turned

 

 

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 :-)

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!

    Happy New Year.

    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.

    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”!

    A+

    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.

  19. January 6, 2011 at 10:15 pm

    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!
