Welcome to the 38th Seasonal Sundays.
After all of the many snow storms that have hit the New York area
(and many parts of the United States), we were recently presented
with RAIN, RAIN, more RAIN and WIND! It was crazy out.
But in the late afternoon, early evening, the rain stopped.
We were presented with the most beautiful sky - a sky of ~sky blue
pink.
The shots above and below are so different in color but were taken
only moments apart.
Hoping that your skies are clear.

This is one of my favorite posts from last year so I’m joining Chari at
Happy to Design, for her meme called “Sunday Favorites". It’s a
meme designed to give bloggers a chance to share a favorite post from
the past.
Please be sure to come and visit Seasonal Sundays. It’s my Sunday
meme and it gives bloggers a chance to share what the season means
to them. I have a completely different post for Seasonal Sundays, but
didn’t want to miss joining in the fun of Sunday Favorites too.
Welcome to the red retro table at The Tablescaper.
This week we step back in time…
…to days of tables covered in oilcloth.
A time when red was…
…“the” color for kitchens.
A time of …
milk glass and…
sherbet glasses to match.
During a recent vacation , I had the privilege of visiting a great little shop on the Main Street of Fredericksburg, Texas called Things in a Room. While shopping, I was fortunate enough to meet Becky, one of the shop owners, who had amassed an amazing collection of oilcloth. I spied the oilcloth featured in the above tablescape and knew it would be a great match to recently purchased red posy salad plates (purchased at HomeGoods, just before my trip to Texas). Becky also features some clever designs that she made with oilcloth. If you’re ever in the area, be sure to visit. You can contact her at: beckyreavis@beecreek.net

Welcome to my shabby chic winter table!
Winter is still with us in abundance, and so…
…I decided to…
…embrace it’s whiteness!
The elegance of this white orchid…
…in contrast to the unpolished silver.
The fine linen napkin juxtaposed against the burlap like napkin.
Clear glass against…
… layers of textures of white.
The icy cold winter…
…and the warmth of your home.
The contemporary edge of the plate and the vintage silver slotted
spoon.
The crisp white of the individual casseroles…
…and the coarse willow of the beverage carrier.
The clean lines of the mercury glass candlestick holders…
…and intricacies of the antique servers.
My scrunchy throw once again appears as a table cloth.
Kindly visit the following memes I’m joining:
Be sure to come back and celebrate WINTER
with us on Sunday for Seasonal Sundays!

Welcome to the 37th Seasonal Sundays.
It’s mid February and sometimes it seems that this winter will never
end.
Friday was a tease. Not much sun, but the temperature was in the
mid 60s. Just glorious. But those temperatures are gone and winter is
back with fierce winds.
It’s at this time of year that I love to see a few seedlings popping their
heads up through the soil. I have a few seedlings and bulbs planted
around the house.
These little pots of soil and green give me hope. Hope that Spring will
come.
Hope, that growth will continue. Hope that all that is dull and grey
with turn to a lush green.
I hope that your winter is filled with HOPE.
