‘Tis the Season for Poinsettias! I’m doing my part for the US economy and I bet you are too, since more than 70 million poinsettias are sold annually within the six-week period between Thanksgiving and Christmas. With less than 2 weeks until Christmas, {yikes!} I’m trying to Keep Calm and Merry On while scurrying to check off…
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the season, I’m taking a little time out for some advent fun. I decorated a tree for the birds with bird seed treats, an easy and fun project that kids would enjoy, along with your feathered friends! My inspiration took flight from my Birds of a Feather Advent Calendar.…
I’m at the table with some tartan plaid, Santa plates and Christmas greenery and joining Cuisine Kathleen for a Christmas Copycat Table Challenge. Nothing says Christmas like a little tartan plaid.

The Christmas countdown has begun!

I was gifted with an adorable Birds of a Feather Advent Calendar to help me wing my way through December, counting the…
I’m at the table with Parchment Rouge for a Merry Mikasa Christmas table! With its vibrant red border and gold scroll pattern, Parchment Rouge is a natural choice for a holiday table.

While I don’t want to rush the Thanksgiving season, I made a shift from harvest to holiday, long enough to pull out the red and green for a little pre-season holiday fun and to set and photograph a Christmas table! In anticipation of the Christmas season, I’m at the table with Pfaltzgraff Holiday Heritage Dinnerware along with candy canes, trains, trees, greenery, garland…

And photographed them in a fall setting with pumpkins, mums, and Indian corn for a Delicious Autumn Table that I…
