Tiptoe Through the Tulips
The beautiful tulips at City Park reminded me of a table that my mother set using her “tulip dishes.” They are actually called Blue Rhapsody and they are by Mikasa.

Lovely Lagniappe
Who doesn’t love a little lagniappe? It is always nice to get (and give) a little something extra, which is the definition of lagniappe (pronounced lan-yap). Recently, I received a lagniappe from the lovely evening out at Le Petit Salon. If you read that story, you may remember, the oysters that were shucked and served…

Brunch on the Porch
The weather is beautiful here and I couldn’t resist setting up a Valentine-y brunch on the porch.

Carnival Dinner
It’s always fun to set a table for Carnival. Lots of beads, a couple of masks, napkins folded as fleur de lis, all set the china and crystal aglow. Come have a seat at the table and see what fun we can have . . .

Caring For A Dining Table
I have always enjoyed entertaining. It is a great way to get together with friends and family and show them how much you care with a beautiful table setting and wonderful food. However, occasionally, when you entertain, a dish gets broken or a water ring or heat ring is left on your beautiful wood dining…

Second Line Brunch
This past Sunday, my husband and I attended a lovely brunch at New Orleans’ Second Line Stages, which is a movie production studio owned by Susan Brennan. The luncheon was a fundraiser for Young Life, which is wonderful Christian organization for young people. The theme for the brunch was a second line. (See this past post…

Meeting Matters
People who know me, know I’m not fond of meetings. In light of that, it is funny how often I find myself attending meetings. However, if you must you must and, when you must, you may as well make it as pleasant as possible, right? On a recent evening, a meeting was held in my…

Carnival Dinner
Since we are taking a timeout for the Superbowl, I thought I’d take a look back at a Carnival table from the past. Even if you aren’t in New Orleans, you can create Carnival wherever you are! More decorations to come! Thanks Susan for hosting: Today’s Lagniappe: Slow Cooker Red Beans & Rice Something warm…

Next Monday is the sweetheart day of Valentine’s. Mr. Southern Gentleman and I will be celebrating this weekend. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate – a…

Southern Snow Day
It started snowing here this morning and is still steadily snowing at mid-day here in my neck of the woods in Arkansas. Got some pics to share with you as well as a recipe! I love asparagus. Of course, we usually cut off the top part and throw the woody part away. I’ve always seen…

Southern Chill
We are in the deep freeze here in Arkansas. My feet are freezing even as I type this! Time to warm up with some memories of a much warmer time. I remember taking the photos for this “tablescape” with my friend, Ann Messick. It was a nice hot day and I really wanted to jump…

Southern Autumn
Special Note: Pray for Teagan Life just really gets crazy sometimes! We have just been crazy busy lately, which is a good thing for our business. Looks like soon, we’ll be finished with some major projects and, maybe, I can get back to regular posting again. I’m sorry I’ve been kind of a “no show”…

Southern China
October 12th was my 13th wedding anniversary. I remember so well picking out my wedding china. My wonderful groom went with me and we picked it out together. We wanted something that was classic and would stand the test of time. We decided on Lenox Citation Gold. The crystal we chose accented it beautifully (in…

Oh, how I love these cool fall evenings! The sun is slanting at a different angle and there is just a hint of coolness in the air! How about a little bite to eat on the porch for Oh, how I love these cool fall evenings! Sorry to be so lax about posting lately. Life…
