A TABLE SETTING...

Hello friends!  I hope you're all having a wonderful week so far.  I know many of you have been

hit by major snow and rain storms this week, and I'm wishing you all safe, dry, and warm.

I want to thank everyone who entered my giveaway this week, and especially to those of you who

blogged about it or posted it on your sidebars.  There are way too many of you to name you

all, but I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate it!! :)

I've been so inspired lately by the beautiful table settings by Tracey of French Larkspur and

Maria of Dreamy Whites as well as the pages of Jeanne d'Arc Living Magazine.  I'll be the 

first to admit that I'm not the best at setting a pretty table, but I thought I'd give it a go. I had

a lot of fun doing it, but it was a mad dash trying to get it done before I had to go pick up the

kids from school.  Some of my pictures turned out fuzzy, and I just didn't have the time to take

more... what you see is what you get.   I hope you enjoy them anyway. :) 

I love chocolate covered strawberries.  These are so simple to make.  I just chilled the

strawberries in the freezer for about an hour and then dipped them in Hershey's Shell Topping

(the kind you use for ice cream).  It's so simple and delicious!

I placed chilled raspberries in Black Raspberry Fruit Fizz water.  Again, so simple, and my

husband loved this. :)

I saw this idea in the January issue of Jeanne d'Arc Living and loved it.  But... fair warning...

my vintage milk bottle broke from the heat of the candle.  The glass just cracked and left half

of the bottle hanging there and the other half broke to pieces on the hutch and floor. :(

If you haven't had a chance to enter my giveaway yet, there's still time.  Click here to find

Thanks for stopping by today and taking the time to leave your sweet comments!  I read each and

every one and enjoy visiting all of you to see what you're up to.

Wishing you all a happy weekend!

'Til next time...
