2021 Floral Landscape (Part 2)
Happy Wednesday everyone!! Today is the second part of my 2021 Floral Landscape design along with some helpful information I’ve learned along the way. Normally I plant and then wait a year to blog about it since perennials and shrubs take awhile to bloom and spread out but this year I couldn’t wait. Our goal was to finish our shed and start on the landscape around the shed (more to see next year) which we accomplished but I’ve had a few people ask me about deer resistant plants. In this...
2021 Floral Landscape
Happy Monday everyone! I couldn’t wait to share this post because it’s bright and cheerful and that was the outdoor look I was going for this year! Here is my 2021 Floral Landscape and backyard bliss with colors blooming from spring to fall! When we bought our house, we were fortunate to have the landscape done around the house but I was also blessed with almost an acre of great space to do what I wanted with. So I set out to do something every year and build on my ideas for a lush yard....
Casual Tablescape
Happy Monday everyone! I’ve been wanting to post my casual tablescape for a while now. I’m one of those people who love seeing my table put together as if we are having company over for dinner. My kitchen table is a combination of items that I have purchased in my travels from West Virginia to Missouri and back. I like the layers, height, and combinations of similar natural colors while combining my love for decorating my kitchen with roosters. One of the things I love the most is how...
How To Navigate My Website
Happy Friday everyone! Navigating My Website and 2021 Bucket List. We are kicking off the weekend with an update to my previous post “Kicking Off 2021 With A Pudding Dessert And TAL’s Bucket List”. Hind sight being 2020, I should have separated the two blog posts which I might do later but, none the less, I’ve accomplished some items off my 2021 list that I want to share with you. One being many updates to my website which lends me to believe that I should talk about how to navigate TAL’s...
Pet Safe Paint
Happy Monday everyone! Who is ready for home projects? We are and we are checking items off our "to-do" list!! Pet Safe Paint...Spring is here and we are working on getting our home projects done which means painting and more painting! From the outside to the inside, I’ve got little projects everywhere. I love Sherwin Williams paint and was so happy when I talked to our local Sherwin Williams about using non-toxic paint in our home. They assured me that what I was using was safe for Jake...
Spring Tablescape
Happy Wednesday everyone! It’s a beautiful week to put together a spring table! The sun is shining and it’s 80 degrees here in WV! I’ve decided to plant another herb garden this year (see my 1st herb garden last year) and I’m going bigger this year so wish me luck! This table is a combination of dinnerware I’ve had and have used in previous tablescapes. These herb and floral dishes are made of bamboo which make them safe to eat on, environmentally safe, easy to clean, and can be put in...
Easter Tablescape 2021
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m so excited to show you my Easter Tablescape this year. I combined the dishes and cone sculptures from my New Year’s Eve Tablescape with items from last year’s Easter Tablescape I put together and created a new table for Easter 2021. I changed out the old napkins for these from TJMaxx for a silkier, shinier look to match the plates from Home Goods. There are several pictures all with different lighting taken at different times of the day. The sun rises in...
How To Make Silk Flowers Look Real
Happy Monday everyone! We had a gorgeous weekend here in WV full of sunshine and spring temps so I thought this bright flower bouquet of yellow would be appropriate for Monday’s post. This St. Patrick’s Day floral arrangement is a little late but it’s still March so I’m good :-). Plus it's always good to know how to make a silk arrangement look real! I posted a few weeks ago, my easy to do St. Patrick’s Day Tablescape (HERE) and promised this would follow. Floral arrangements are so was...
Clover Tablescape
Happy Wednesday everyone!!! I told Thomas this morning that March and St. Patrick’s Day means celebrating me! :-). We are going to our favorite place for fish and chips...Margaret’s Cafe in Toronto, OH!! According to my results from 23 and Me, I’m 59% Irish!! This is the first year putting together a Clover Tablescape for St. Patrick's Day and it was so much fun! I’ve had a hard time finding pretty dishes unless I want to spend A LOT of money so I shopped my house and some of my favorite...
Galentine’s Tablescape
Happy Wednesday everyone! In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I hosted a Galentine’s Day dinner on Monday night with two of my best friends with wine, lasagna, gnocchi, meatballs, and red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing. As a take home treat, I bought chocolate covered apples and of course, made doggie bags for each of them to take home. My dear friends brought me beautiful flowers and didn’t forget Jake and Maggie who got toys and treats! We all had a great time and Galentine’s Day...
A Whimsical Valentine’s Day Table
Happy Monday everyone! It is February 1st and I’m kicking the month off with this whimsical Valentine’s Day table. This table is casual, fun, and flirty with a combination of red, black, turquoise, with a hint of pink. I’m so excited for this month of blog posts. February is the month of RED my favorite color. I have another tablescape that I’ll be posting for a “Galentine’s Day” event I’m hosting on February 8th for my girlfriends, several food blog posts, and of course pet health posts...

Happy Wednesday everyone! I am so excited to show you my New Year's Eve Tablescape for 2020! The table is a combination of gold, silver, and pink/blush with added greenery to compliment my color scheme. Thomas and I are making a seafood smorgasbord of king crab legs, crab cakes, garlic butter shrimp, asparagus, and pasta! I'll be whipping up a fruity cocktail for a before dinner treat and a delicious dessert for an after dinner treat! This table was so much fun to put together and take...
