    Real or Artificial?

    ByMary Crozier October 21, 2020October 21, 2020

    At a recent small gathering of friends on our back porch, one of our guests admiring the fresh cut flower display on the table asked, “Where did you get those gorgeous hydrangeas?” I paused. Do I tell her that they are artificial? I did confess that I failed to have enough flowers for the numerous…

    I didn’t intend for the Thanksgiving centerpiece to match the artwork in the dining room but it happily does! Every few months I’ve been hanging different art, trying to find just the right piece. It’s easy to decorate the same way year after year and there’s comfort in that. But how do I use what…

    Our Thanksgiving Table

    ByMary Crozier November 20, 2018November 20, 2018

    Thank you so much for the feedback on my last post.  Based on consensus, I went with the silver beaded charger~~still surprised I hadn’t thought of it before.  A bit of thistle is stuck into the napkin for color and texture. I was so excited when I made the decision to go silver, but then…
