EASTER TABLE SETTING

Easter Table

Bunny centerpiece filled with pansies

Spring and especially Easter is a special time to set a table with some of my favorite dishes. Several years ago I found a sweet set of bunny plates trimmed with a brown boarder. I knew they would look pretty paired with my Juliska Country Estate Flint pattern.

I ordered these moss placemats from Amazon a few weeks ago knowing they would be the perfect start for a spring table setting

I want to say thank you to all who phoned, sent a text or email to check on us during the Tornado outbreak in our state. I feel so blessed by your friendship. We feel so fortunate we were not in the path of these storms which left so much damage. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost so very much.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you will leave a comment so I will know you stopped by.

FINALLY A FALL WEEKEND AND A THANK YOU

I began this post a few weeks ago and it has been hectic here with a little touch up painting and staining doors mixed in with football weekends and a little travel. Now I am ready to enjoy getting ready for the holidays. Thank you to all who have sent me notes to say I was missed!

Hello sweet friends. First I want to say Panama City, Florida is in my thoughts and prayers. Such a terrible hurricane leaving so much property damage and now hardships for those living there. A beautiful town with sugar white beaches. We know it well, a favorite vacation destination and  my daughter-in-law's family and friends living there. 
Update: All power has been restored to Panama City. Clean-up and rebuilding will take a long time after so much devastation.

Jim and I have been traveling with our son, daughter-in-law and grandson. When we left home our highs were in the mid nighties. Returning home the weather channel promised the first cool front for the weekend.  Now we have our first weekend here with fall temperatures and I finally feel like adding a few fall touches around the house. 

I like to keep it simple so I added my velvet pumpkins on the dining room table with my Juliska Flint charges. 

We always enjoy cooking out but fall is a favorite time. We love to watch SEC football outside while we enjoy the cooler temperatures. We have been grilling fish a lot lately, my favorite. It is such an easy meal to prepare. Spray the fish with EVOO and use your favorite seasoning. We like to blacken our fish so I use Paul Prudhomme's Magic. 

Serve with favorite sides

I have a lot of catching-up the next couple of weeks. I will be adding more fall touches inside and out. I'm overdue for a visit to the pumpkin patch! 
I'm sorry I've missed some of your posts so I will be visiting with you soon.
As always, thank you for your visit. I love for you to leave a comment, it's the only way I know you stopped by!

Thank You!
I want to give a shout-out to my friend Deb at Mountain Breathes for a chance to win this funny cookbook, The Burn Cookbook by Jonathan Bennett and Nikki Martin. My name was the lucky one drawn.
