FIRST TABLESETTING FOR 2025
What a job that was putting all those
Christmas treasures away. I so
understand why - are you ready for
this - "old people" just get out a tiny
tree or nothing at all.
Right before Christmas my
husband went to the market to grab
a few things and a man pulled out and totaled our car. He said the driver was
an old guy so I asked "how old was he?"
Oh....about our age was the answer!
Haha! Thankfully, my husband
wasn't injured.
I did my first table setting for the New
Year today and am sharing a tablecloth
I made with some purple toile fabric.
Many upholstery type fabrics are wider
and can make great tablecloths.
sometimes called "House Party"
or "Litchfield House Party".
Laura Ashley marketed it too.
Rural Scenes.
I found this machine sewn vintage
quilt on Ebay which had perfect
colors for our "snug" area in our
home. It is on the pony rail by
the stairs going down.
and staying safe!

MY 2024 YEAR PHOTO REVIEW
This year was a slow down in
blogging for me but I will continue
to blog but also share some video
reels here that I use on Instagram.
Here is my review
of photos:
We enjoyed our hearth dining
room this year. It is a small area
adjacent to the kitchen.
The giant pussy willow
in our front yard blooms
every March.
April:
Pansies are pure joy.
May:
I am amazed how quickly the
garden burst alive in Missouri.
June:
July:
August:
hot Missouri summertime.
September:
October:
summer, the hydrangeas looked
promising. I watered them faithfully
all summer or they would not have
made it.
November:
tree will be all gone tomorrow and
all the decorations put away for
another year!
Hope your's is a Happy
New Year!

ARE YOU READY FOR A NEW YEAR?
that you can copy and use for
a New Year's menu for Afternoon
Tea.
Our year has come to a close and
we are ready for a new one. I
realize blogging isn't the thing it
used to be but for now I will continue.
I am enjoying Instagram even more
than Facebook.
I am sharing a little garden video I did
for my new Instagram page.
It is a review of my 2024 garden.
