Hi everyone! Are you happy to turn the calendar page on another month?
Hello everyone! Did you have a good Valentine's Day? My mom and I went to lunch, which we thoroughly enjoyed, and then I spent the evening with my darling Hal. I put this table together over a period of days, and I had a lot of fun with it. I'm so happy with the way it turned out; I think it's my favorite Valentine's table so far. Well actually, my favorite is the year I accidentally put the silverware on the wrong side of the plates, took all the pictures and posted, before I realized what I'd done. It would be hard to top that one. 😏
Hello Friends! In January of this year, I began my tenth year of blogging -- I can hardly believe it. In some ways it seems like it hasn't been any time at all since I published that first post in 2011; then in other ways, it feels like I've been doing this always. I've noticed some of my blog friends have also been writing their blog for ten years; I didn't realize that so many of us had started around the same time. I just always assumed that everyone else had been at this a lot longer than me. :D
Happy Monday and Happy February everyone! Wow, where did January go? I hope you're all having a good winter and staying healthy.
I set a Christmas table this year, even though my family got together at my mom's house. I made some pictures since I'll shortly be taking this down and putting everything away until next Christmas. These were the dishes I inherited last year when Hal's great-aunt, Dorothy, passed away. My sister-in-law will be getting a set, as well. I feel so fortunate to have received these dishes; they really do set such a pretty table.
Hello to you all and Happy 2020! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas at your home. We certainly did, but boy was it rushed. Such a short (and fast) time between Thanksgiving and Christmas in 2019. Whew!
I have been so slow lately; here it is January 7th, the day after Epiphany, and I'm just now getting to share some pictures of our Christmas decor. If you're a regular visitor here, you know I don't do a lot that's different from year to year because I have such a sentimental attachment to our Christmas things. However, I do try to change things up a little, just to keep it from getting too humdrum. If you're sick of seeing Christmas pics, you'll probably want to skip this post. :D
