So pretty! I have one of everything please:@)
The pin button isn’t showing up on the individual photos within the blog, only when I click on the pinterest bar icon. I didn’t know if that was a glitch on your end or mine. Thank you for posting such awesome and inspirational photos and vignettes! I love it that you bring spring earlier to those in the north. :)
Hi thanks for your sweet comment! The Pin it shows up when I hover on the top left corner of each photo, try refreshing your browser and see if that does the trick :)
Ooh Mary, the photos are so vibrant! Yes,please, I’d love a taste of everything, starting with the Bellini and ending with the brownie bite. The napkin Rose is the perfect touch for blotting my mouth after all the lovely samples. Thanks for the gorgeousness!!
Beautiful!! Fit for my mother if she were here!! I love the red transfer dishes (that is one of my patterns)..and the food looks delightful!! Thanks ever so for sharing!! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL and if your mother is still around, give her a hug from me! I miss mine very, very much! 😍🌹🍰❤️
Like living in a flower shop, all perfection! Awakened by wind and rain, your colors are dazzling in the dark of the night~
Beautiful photos for Mother’s Day tablescape. Loved the brownie bites & the chilled berry soup. Always enjoy reading your blog, lots of great ideas! Happy Mother’s Day to you.
Mary, thank you so very much for the beautiful and inspiring pictures, by the way my Korean Spice Viburnum is in full bloom and smells heavenly. I’m enjoying the quilts that you use in your postings, my grandma made quilts all the time she has been gone since 1973. I agree with Ellen Stillabower if your mom is still alive a hug from me too, my moms been gone since 2007. Have a wonderful Mothers Day.
I am delighted ..for me a real vacation in your blog ..gracias ! thank you
I could spend all day in this garden Mary, with so many blooms to enjoy and so many wonderful treats to eat! Your flower arrangements always look so natural and effortless, and your sweet bites so professionally decorated~thank you for re-sharing all your beauties!

What a feast for the eyes, gorgeous! And yes please on each of your wonderful creations. Happy Mother’s Day!
Your blog by far is one of the best ever. I love the tribute to your mother for Mother’s Day. She was a beautiful lady by the looks of her picture. My Mom has passed also and I miss her each and every day. Love your pictures and your table settings and recipes. Thanks for brightening my day.
Everyday you share the most beautiful photos. The rose napkin with leaf spoon is adorable! My taste buds were dancing when I saw the strawberry bellini, the chocolate cups with violas, the chilled berry soup, fairy cake and the brownie bites! I live in Statesville, NC. If you ever need someone to taste test or eat up your samples, I’m your girl!
Lovely. A veritable delight for the eyes. Happy Day to you. E
Mary, each tablesetting is gorgeous and inspiring. I can’t pick a favorite–love them all!
I wish you would do a coffee table book of all of your posts that I (and the many others who love your work) could sit from time to time and just gaze through. Thank you for the post that you do. I so look forward to them. ~m
Love your quilts, china, flowers, dogs! I too wish that you would do a coffee table book–your photos are beautiful and your style is just beyond compare!
Gorgeous!! Thank you for each and every one of these, Mary!
just beautiful, Mary, your floral centerpieces with the quilts are always my favorite!
