Join me for with a little woodland tabletop and dish fun in the Potting Shed and to escape the heat, if only in our imaginations. . . My inspiration came from our Blue Ridge Getaway over the 4th of July holiday, where we escaped to North Carolina’s High Country, enjoying delightful 70 degree days in contrast…
I’m at the table with Red, White and Liberty Blue in anticipation of Independence Day! It’s hard to believe the 4th of July is Tuesday. To celebrate America’s birthday, I’m waving the flag and setting the table with Staffordshire Liberty Blue! Liberty Blue dinnerware was created by Enoch Wedgwood Company, in the historic Staffordshire district of England.…
I love all things *bee* and love seeing them buzz and bumble about the garden. . . I cut some flowers and bee favorites to fill some Quattro Stagioni Canning Jars. The jars have an adorable bee skep design which is hard to photograph, but ideal for a just-picked bouquet from the garden! They’re filled flowers…
Hi Everyone, this is Chloe & Gracie, wishing you a happy first day of Summer! We’re guest posting for our Mom today, since she’s been busy gardening and working on some projects around her Potting Shed. We told her we’d fill in for her and give her a break with a little ‘sailing into summer’…
Happy Monday, Did you have a good weekend? Mine was productive and HOT, spending some time planting and working on a painting project before retreating indoors to recover in the comfort of the air conditioning. Endless Summer Hydrangeas are thriving and loving our abundance of rainfall, the Lamb’s Ear and lavender, not so much. I…
Happy Memorial Day! I set a table in celebration of the Red, White and Blue! Our Memorial Day weekend weather has been a combination of sunny, cloudy, rainy and stormy. It’s been one of those weekends where the sun is shining in the front yard while storm clouds are gathering in the back. ;) Memorial Day kicks…
It’s nesting season and I’ve been following the birds’ instincts. . . Feathering my nest and doing some spring cleaning, painting and window dressing around the Potting Shed. I took some time out for a little tabletop nesting and dish fun! There seems to be nesting going on everywhere I look. . . More than one…
Happy Friday! I’m taking you to the tropics via the table to dream of white sandy beaches, tiki bars and umbrella drinks! My table inspiration came from *Beach Cocktails: Favorite Surfside Sips and Bar Snacks (Oxmoor House, May 2017) by the Editors of Coastal Living, is a full-color book packed with 125 thirst-quenching cocktails that will transport you…
It’s hard to believe it’s the last week in April! Where did the month go? I couldn’t resist a little tabletop fun with bunnies before they hop away with May’s arrival. . . Floral bunny salad plates were on sale at Pottery Barn after Easter. I was happy to find three of the four designs still…
I’m sending Happy Easter wishes your way with an alfresco Easter table! A bunny tablecloth provides a foundation for Bunny eggs plates, layered over aqua and salmon colored napkins. For an easy centerpiece, I filled a glass vase with jelly beans that look like speckled eggs. To make your own, center a smaller vase inside a larger…
