You are a true artist in styling, Mary. You can take the girl out of retailing, but you can’t take the retailingredients out of the girl. Yes, ‘ewe’ DO inspire me – thank you!
Love how the autocorrect turned that word into what it did? I think it was also trying to have me comment on how great your recipes are too. ;)
Thank you Rita! Have you noticed how autocorrect also doesn’t correct when we need it to? ;)
After seeing these beautiful table scapes I decided to buy new dishes! Would love something with dainty flowers on white background! That will be my treat from me to me! Lol!💐 Have a great start in the new year!😎🌴
Your year in review is a fabulous seasonal journey Mary, I can never see your beautiful tables too many times, your style is elegant, yet whimsical and classic and always inspiring! Happy 17!
