If you've visited here before, you know I love children! I come by it naturally. My Dad laughs at Mom because she can often be found on their back porch playing with the neighbor kids. (Truth is, Daddy's almost as bad good.) So it shouldn't surprise you that they've been driving from Texas to Tennessee so that we can all go to North Carolina to see their new great-grandson.

It's a silly, simple pleasure I'm giving myself really, but you see I haven't missed partying at Tablescape Thursday since I started blogging almost two years ago. Not always a tablescape, mind you, but something table-related. My debut tablescape was in celebration of the 100th tablescape celebration at Between Naps on the Porch. This week is the 190th Tablescape Thursday. Hard to believe ... but what a fun ride! Tonight's simple table was one I quickly threw together on the porch a few weeks ago. It was a slightly cool morning, and a friend I hadn't seen in awhile had ... Keep Reading...
