    You’ve had a very creative and beautiful year Mary! I love them all but you started out with my favorite, I’ve been in love with J-Bro for years and the “snowy” glasses fit the scene perfectly:@)

    I also love the Johnson Brothers tablescape with the snowy glasses–gorgeous! I wonder if you would consider doing a post on organization–which goes with my New Year’s resolution :-) Where do you keep all your pretty dishes, glasses, and accessories so they are available to mix/match throughout the year?

  4. January 4, 2014 at 8:18 am

    Beautiful, one and all. How do you do it, Mary? Every trip to your blog is a visual delight that inspires me. I didn’t find you until sometime in the late summer, I believe, so what’s here are some gorgeous seasonal tables I haven’t yet seen. As always, thank you for sharing your talent — and Happy New Year!

    Always love your beautiful table settings. Really look forward to them. Thank you Mary and Happy New Year!

    Hi Mary, I’m so happy to see so many of your tables together. I remember seeing your Friendly Village post the first time. I had not realized how beautiful that pattern was before your table setting, and of course I now have a few pieces and love the various scenes. I also “had” to buy the Mikasa Parchment after seeing your table, and we used it for Christmas and a few parties this holiday season. You inspire me so much!! I always enjoy your posts, whether about tables, foods, the shed, your cute dogs or any other ideas, and I love the links you provide to interesting places and information or even just a shopping site. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, and Happy New Year to you. I’m looking forward to seeing many more wonderful posts. Linda

    and what a wonderful year it was… heavy sigh of contentment, love the recap of colors. i think my fav is the lavender, or more likely what i covet the most ;-) thanks for the years of fun, look forward to many more~

  16. January 4, 2014 at 7:12 pm

    Time flies when you’re having fun, yes? As much as I peruse your tables and posts I can still spy things I didn’t notice before, which is the really fun part! Thanks for always entertaining, providing and inspiring~

    Stunning table settings. I can’t just pick one… I like them all…

  20. January 5, 2014 at 6:01 pm

    I would be very hard-pressed to pick my favorite table of yours. Which one was your favorite of the year?

  21. January 5, 2014 at 6:17 pm

    Oh, Mary! Seeing all of these beautiful tables together makes me want to shut down my blog all together!! You are so incredibly talented and creative. I love, love all of them!!!

  24. January 7, 2014 at 7:32 am

    Mary, you create some of the most amazing tablescapes. Loved them all. Is this a hobby or a career?

  25. January 7, 2014 at 7:39 am

    So much wonderful inspiration! It’s great fun to see all of the tables together.

    Your stunning and creative tablescapes need to be in a book!!!..It would be a best seller!…

    You already have your book prepared. This review is great. I bet Carolyn Roehm would be impressed with your work.

    It is beautiful . j’aime beaucoup.
    Excuse moi mais je ne parle pas anglais.
    J’aime beaucoup les décors anglais et surtout les tissus cabbage et la porcelaine qui est très fine.
    Tes tables sont merveilleuses.
    Je te souhaite une belle année pleine de bonheur et d’Amour.

    Every table is beautiful! I’ve searched everywhere for those twine place mats (or chargers?). Everywhere is relative, because I have few stores close by. Thank you for the review – a treasured collection of tablescapes. :-) Happy 2014!

    Beautiful Memories!

  34. January 10, 2014 at 5:33 pm
