Asters without beetles and bugs - how good is that?


My sister Lois found the place settings of circa 1940's hand-painted colorful Astor flowers in bold and bright colors. I've never used them and have the dinner plates standing upright in a large green oblong planter with small dessert plates to match sitting in front. I wanted something cheery and happy to say Hello Spring - so I came up with a couple of other pieces to compliment the setting for two. The happy contented rabbit normally sits in the living room on the floor, looking at a plant that is placed nearby and he was happy to have a prominent place on the table. Cups for these dishes have never been located, so I used two green and white restaurant ware pieces on the matching saucers - You gotta love the simplicity of green and white. Barely visible in the background is a nice large cookie jar from Thomas Kincaid collection with Spring colors.

Introduction to Christmas with a simple brunch



Table is set for four - possibly a breakfast brunch or perhaps a generous serving of an excellent Christmas Coffee Cake with whipped cream and your favorite brew of coffee. Why not start your Christmas shopping with several of your closest friends and kick off the season or perhaps schedule some local tours.
