Sunday, May 12, 2013 "FLORAL and STRIPES" Theme "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” ~ Washington Irving The debut of our May table setting....... Happy Mother's Day to ALL women!!! Believe it or not; we are nurturers by nature and in some way, either biological or spiritual mothers, surrogate mothers, mother-figures, Godmothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, aunts, sisters, cousins, sister-friends, and mentors. Did you notice that I reused the placemats, napkins, and napkin rings from the April table setting? Also, I spotted the bowl in Wal Mart about two weeks ago, and during that time, it matched perfectly with the April table setting, also. Additional photos of this and other table settings are here: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/11014855_M5W6FW#!i=2495635753&k=bCfWx3W GOOD NEWS / EARLY MOTHER'S DAY GIFTS: I think I mentioned in one of my commentaries that I was enrolled in two graduate classes this semester while employed full-time; I am pursuing my 3rd degree - a Specialist degree and I am half-way finished.The semester officially ended last week and I earned an A in both classes (thank God) that were VERY challenging and involved a lot of reading, critical thinking, analyzing, and writing. All in all, I gained a wealth of knowledge, had the grace of God, a very supportive husband, and instructors who were true experts and professionals in their respective profession. The table is spread; feast and enjoy your day! ***#12 photo of the day*** (table decorated and photographed on 5/6/2013)
April 2013 I know that Easter eggs do not spiritually have anything to do with the Resurrection (Easter), but I like the colors and patterns. "FUN AND FLOUNCY" Theme (Centerpiece)

Sunday, April 7, 2013 "FUN AND FLOUNCY" Theme "A good home must be made, not bought. In the end, it's not track lighting or a sunroom that brings light into a kitchen." ~ Joyce Maynard The debut of our April table setting....... This fun table setting, with a touch of Easter, incorporates everything spring: pastel colors, bright colored plates, and glasses on top of striped place mats to complete the look. Instead of basic white plates, I opted for color and a touch of pattern.The upbeat pattern and colors keep the solid, traditional plates from looking too bland. I thought about placing plastic eggs or a flower in the bucket, but decided not to, in order for the prints/patterns to scream the theme. With the exception of the centerpiece, all other accessories have been featured in previous table settings. Also, just for the record, I know that easter eggs do not spiritually have anything to do with the Resurrection (Easter), but I like the colors and patterns. By the way, the plate behind the basket is a bright yellow.

Saturday, March 9, 2013 "VINTAGE CHATEAU" Theme “A single conversation across the table with a wise person is worth a month's study of books." ~ Kathleen Norris The debut of our March table setting........ My inspiration was sparked by the towels - yes, those are dish towels (each one has a unique design) that I've placed on the black plates. Also, with the exception of the candle sticks, candle jars, cups, and marbles, all other accessories have been featured in previous table settings.
