Cling Peaches are Already Ripe!

Southern Illinois orchards are already selling the first round of fresh peaches! These are the ones that cling to the pit, so they are lots more work than the "cling free" ... but they sure are good! I had fresh cobbler at Flamm Orchard's Peaches and Cream stand yesterday ... and watched an old man bite into his first peach of the season. That look on his face said everything ... yum, yum!

Get Ready to Celebrate!

I love celebrating with red, white and blue! Here's a collage of our 2009 Fourth of July celebration. This year, I'm going "old" ... not GETTING OLD, going old-fashioned. I plan to use my Liberty Blue china and some special glassware to take us back to 1776!

I've posted a few cute pictures from St. Patrick's Day parties! We celebrate for several days and use all the shamrocks we can find!

Phoebe turns three!

Here's Phoebe for her third birthday portraits with her doll! She didn't really want to take these pictures and when she started trying to stand on her head, I told the photographer to just start snapping pictures or we'd never get any! She was not in a very good mood!

Cabin in the Woods Tablescape!

Starting a new Radio Show

I'm gonna take a vacation from blogging for awhile. I'm starting a new "foodie" radio show and need to devote extra time to that project! I'll be back in a few weeks.

Come Back Tomorrow for Details!

I'll be posting all the details of the pink tablescapes tomorrow. We've had a great event ... tablescaping for the cure!

Just Created a Tablescapers Twibe

Hey, Tablescapers! I've created a Twibe just for us. Thought we might use it to share information quickly, when we find bargains or great ideas for our tables. This way, if I'm standing in a favorite shopping spot and see a great value, I can Tweet all of you ... and you can stop what you are doing, grab your checkbook and run right out and get whatever fabulous bargain I find. You can join the Twibe and do the same thing!

To join the Twibe, go to ...
