We had our annual Christmas party on Friday night. This year, I did a simple tablescape of greens and ornaments for our dining room table. This is where we serve most of our food for the party. Please ignore the crumbs on the tablecloth, as most of the pictures were taken the day after. This [...]

There’s something about summer desserts that makes me smile. Probably because so many of the desserts this time of year use fresh berries … strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and more.

Don’t you just LOVE spring flowers? Trader Joe’s had a beautiful selection of flowers yesterday, so I bought some in shades of lavender.
