Welcome to My Place to Yours! While we're traveling this week, there's no tablescape ... but there are LOTS of dishes. Pick a favorite and tell me what it is!

Since we were headed north from Tennessee anyway, we decided to take a couple of days' vacation and head even further north ... to the much-desired-but-never-before-visited destination of Mackinac Island, Michigan. To save a little cha-ching, we actually stayed on the mainland at St. Ignace ... just across Lake Huron ... at the Colonial House ... Keep Reading...
