Mary each of these is so gorgeous. I just love how happy I feel when I look at them. I have returned to look at many of your posts when I need a little lift for the day. Thanks for the beauty you share.
Wonderful year in review Mary, so much fun to see the progression of seasons and holidays with your beautiful tables! I am looking forward to this new year, and so happy that Valentines Day, Mardi Gras and Easter are not close together this spring, which will make for much more time and fun to celebrate them! I’m tired of winter already, all it’s been doing is rain lately and seeing your wonderful outdoor tables is making me long for spring and sun!

How do you do it!?! Your tablescapes are gorgeous!! I come away inspired on each and every one. You are so talented. Love your blog!!
Mary, I love the winter nesting tree. I had not seen this before the review as I became a subscriber after that post. It’s gorgeous & a wonderful way to enjoy the tree a few more weeks. This would make a cute tabletop or hearth decoration with a small tree if you couldn’t keep the big tree up due to space restrictions. All your posts are so beautiful & inspiring. Thanks for all of the clever ideas! Looking forward to all your 2019 posts. Clara

Every week, to those who follow your blog, you give the gift of beauty. Whether it is a beautiful table, the decorated potting shed, or photos of the lake each entry is simply a treat. Any time I open my email and see one of your posts, I know that I willl be viewing something special.

I don’t know if we will ever have the opportunity to actually meet in person, but through your blog you have become a “friend”.
Best wishes for a healthy and happy New Year. MM
