Red and White

 I love my red and white china.  I was recently gifted some new pieces by a dear friend . It makes for a festive table any time of the year. But with the Christmas season upon us, isn't it fun to dress your table for the festivities?

Come, sit a spell, and enjoy a cup of tea with me.

There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.  ~Henry James

The Summer of You and Me

 

The Summer of You and Me

by Denise Hunter

Pub Date: Apr 22 2025    |   

Denise Hunter has written another delightful story. Seabrook Island, South Carolina is the setting of a mystery that leaves everyone pondering. 

Josh and Maggie are best friends. Maggie thinks she has seen her deceased husband at the carnival, and is determined to find him. Josh offers to help with a stranger than life outcome. It turns out to be quite the adventure. 

Without giving away the story, the complicated romance that develops concludes with a surprise ending. Denise Hunter is a master storyteller. Writing well rounded characters, she is able to convey her characters deep feelings and emotions. Publication is in April so you need to put this on your TBR list. 

 I received a complimentary an e-copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Growing

 Tampa continues to grow.

Happy Thanksgiving

 

Thanksgiving

 

 

Most of my serving pieces are white, so with a little burst of color to set off the table, we are ready for Thanksgiving!

I love this beautiful Turkey platter that I found at Goodwill.

April Cornell napkins and tablecloth from Kohl's.
Stemware and Soup Tureen from Goodwill. 

We're ready!

Warm up on a cool day

Some mornings, when everyone is gone to work and school ..........

 ...... when the weather turns a little cool, sitting by the window brings the sunshine and the outdoors in.

My Friendly Village china is mostly a winter scene, but I have a few of the Autumn plates to use at this time of year.

I grab a good book, and enjoy a little time with my cup of tea and a breakfast bread.

Do you have a special place to warm up?
