    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier July 12, 2025July 12, 2025

    Happy Saturday! As I write this, it’s a beautiful morning here in Pinetop, Arizona. While our afternoons have been warmer than usual, the mornings and evenings still cool down to the perfectly enjoyable temperatures. Each time I sit down to write this post, I’m amazed that another week has already flown by. But taking a…

    A Meaningful Memorial Day: Tablescapes, Decor and Delicious Inspiration

    ByMary Crozier May 21, 2025May 21, 2025

    Memorial Day is just around the corner! This holiday conjures up so many beginning-of-summer memories for me. Growing up in Connecticut, the end of May marked the start of better, warmer weather with longer days, a fashion thumbs up to wear white, our town’s Memorial Day parade and the end of school. Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, but more importantly, it’s a day of remembrance—for honoring those who gave their lives in service to our country. Whether you’re hosting a backyard gathering, a picnic, or a dinner at home, incorporating thoughtful, patriotic details into your tablescape, decor, and food can help set the tone for a day that’s both celebratory and respectful. Tablescape Ideas:…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier October 21, 2022October 22, 2022

    Happy Saturday, friends! I did spend most of the week up at our cabin and it is SO quiet. An amazing week of weather from rainy and cold to picture perfect fall days. It takes a few days to get the walls warmed up so it was fun to be wearing multiple layers. It’s time…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier June 24, 2022June 30, 2022

    Happy Saturday and as I write this, it’s hard to believe nearly half of 2022 is over. Since I started grand jury duty, my schedule is non-existent and I can’t really recall what happened to the last 3 weeks in June. I always look forward to writing this post so let’s get started and chat…
