I’ve got the blues. The constant snow has gotten me down & I’m suffering from a major case of cabin fever. Spring can not come soon enough this year. Going along with the ‘blues’ theme, and since the color cobalt blue makes me happy, I decided to do a tablescape in cobalt blue. I hope it cheers you up as much as it does me.
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! And Valentine’s Day always reminds me of hearts & Cupid. That about sums up this week’s tablescape. I hope you enjoy it.
Valentine’s Day is only a week away, and it’s such a romantic time for me. That’s the day that the love of my life proposed to me. When I think of Valentine’s Day, it’s always filled with hearts & love. I thought this week’s tablescape should be filled with those. This is my Valentine Love Tablescape:
I guess I’m feeling a little bit of cabin fever. With so much white outside, I wanted a little color inside. I’ve had this set of red glass dinnerware since 1997. I lost one of the plates along the way, so I decided to do a tablescape for 3.
I hope you enjoy my Red & Silver Tablescape.
A set of drinking glasses inspired this tablescape. I’ve been wanting to do this tablescape for quite a while now. I love the combination of black & white. It always looks crisp to me. It can stand alone, and any color will go with it. I hope you enjoy this week’s Black & White Winter Tablescape.
Aunt Millie was our favorite Aunt. She was a delightful person with a great sense of humor. She had a way of making you feel at home, always. I can remember Aunt Millie & Mama talking on the phone for hours, and she could make my Mama laugh like no other. When she was called home, her lovely daughters gave some of her things to my sister & me. I got her flatware & my sister got her china. I can’t tell you how excited I was when my sister asked me if I’d like to do a tablescape with Aunt Millie’s china. The flatware & china were reunited. This tablescape brings back so many Memories of our Aunt Millie.
The first snow storm of 2014 has hit the East Coast. Snow storm Hercules is dumping inches of snow on everyone, as well as freezing cold temperatures. (it’s 14 degrees here & still dropping) I hate the snow & cold more than you’ll ever know. But instead of fighting it, I decided to do a tablescape that would look cold & snowy. This is my Snowy Tablescape.
It’s New Year’s Eve, and I’ve been reminiscing about this past year. Creatively Sam’s is almost a year old, and it has blown by so fast that if I let it, it will make my head spin. I remember how scared I was when I first started my blog. There was so much to learn (I’m still learning) and as it’s evolved, I’m getting the hang of organizing how I write my posts, getting my ideas into post form & finding the time to do it all. I knew that I wanted it to be a ‘teaching’ blog. I’m not getting any younger, and as morbid as it may sound, I wanted to teach what I know before I go.
The most important thing to me is my family. My husband is my soul-mate and he makes me happier than I ever thought possible. My son is an amazing person with a heart of gold. He has a God given talent for the guitar (which is why I shared his video in the Merry Christmas post) and he has a gift for fixing cars. He’s only 22 and is already an Assistant Manager of a national garage. Both of them are very supportive of this endeavor.
Creating is my passion. It calms me even on my worst days. Since I started this blog at the end of January, I had Valentine’s Day on my mind. My posts led up to my first public tablescape. I showed how to re-vamp a centerpiece for the holiday and make a pattern for a reversible place mat.
Since this is the last Thursday of the month, I thought I’d do a New Year’s Tablescape. I had so much fun with this one! I knew that I wanted to use a lot of sparkle, and what better way to add sparkle than using things with a metallic finish? And mirrors, lots and lots of mirrors! So this is the tablescape that I came up with… Happy New Year Everyone!
Ever since I thought of this tablescape, I’ve had the song, “A Holly Jolly Christmas” in my head. I guess it’s because the entire tablescape was inspired by holly. This is my Holly Jolly Tablescape!
