Whatever the size, style or type of table, the center always calls for attention.
I love creating table centerpieces and table settings for everyday living. I’m inspired by the beautiful tablescapes seen on social media which challenges me to create intimate tablescapes for two and modest centerpieces. My goal is only to have fun, share ideas that you may find delightful and to pull ideas from to create for your home. Hope you enjoy. And thanks again for stopping by.
