I’m joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for her Tablescape Thursday Party… I’m sharing my Fitz & Floyd Tulipe d’Or…nothing says Spring like Tulips! I found this tulip runner at Home Goods that’s a fun complement to this pattern. There are four…

Harvest Time by Johnson Brothers (Lottie’s China)
I’m joining Susan for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch. Last week with Spring on the Horizon, I had a botanically inspired tablescape to share. This week, our weather has taken a nose dive. Last weekend’s weather was a teaser. Winter is still here, scarves, gloves, and coats are…
Portmeirion Botanic Garden
I’m joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday. I thought I would pretend Spring was already here, instead of early morning temperatures we’ve had lately in the 20 degree range. This is my everyday pattern, Botanic Garden by Portmeirion. It’s available almost…
Photofiddle

My Great Aunt’s china has been squirreled away in a cabinet in my dining room. This hasn’t seen the light of…
Goodbye Laundry Sink, Hello Planter
I’m participating in my first Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch. This is where my ugly laundry room sink used to be, that was never used. Click here to see how ‘lovely’ it was…not. This is the before– after removing the sink. The plumbing is staying, I’m just hoping to camouflage it a bit.…
French Country Tablescape
I’m participating in Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch. This is a collection of French Country items on my kitchen table. Since my table is round, I have a floral in the center with an assortment of items surrounding the floral; hen with chicks, decorative vinegar, candle, olive jars and a bird house.…
2010 Home Trends…?
I saw this article in Saturday’s Charlotte Observer… 2010 is likely to bring black walls and upholstery, patchwork quilts, and growing veggies and raising chickens. This reminds me of Sesame Street… One of these things is not like the other!
