    Reviving a Bistro Table and Chair Set

    ByMary Crozier January 16, 2023February 19, 2024

    Several years ago I picked up this French marble top bistro table and 2 metal chairs at a yard sale. The romantic in me envisioned sitting there with a cup of tea or a good glass of wine, just relaxing. However, this set has been on the back porch of our pool house for several…

    Happy New Year and this is the first Saturday Meanderings of 2023. It is nice to be back with you after a reprieve from blogging the last week or so. Our holidays were full and abundant and I can honestly say, I am enjoying a mostly slow and relaxing first week of January. So let’s…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier December 16, 2022December 16, 2022

    As I write this, we are stuck at the airport in Charleston, South Carolina. Our return flight home is “delayed” creating missed connections through Dallas. Oh well, the joys of airline travel. We (the entire family)are here celebrating my husband’s birthday, which falls on December 13th. It has been a wonderful week and now it’s…
