Hello all! I hope your week is going well. At My Place, Renaissance Man and I are still busy preparing the exhibit for this space I told you about HERE ... But since I'll probably be busy working on it until the day I die of the event, I'm taking a little sanity break to write this post ... and saying a big thank you that we have a couple of other people working as hard as we are!

A New Friend at My Table
Finally ... a tablescape I've been dying to do! Back in July (where DID the past two months go?), I had the fabulously good fortune of winning a one-year-of-blogging giveaway at the beautiful tablescape blog Entertaining Women. The blog host, Cherry Kay, generously gave away a set of 12 (yes, twelve) antique Theodore Haviland pink floral luncheon plates from her vast collection. They're my newest friends in the china pantry! When blogging about her giveaway, she used some of the plates in a "girly" Spring tablescape. After you finish reading this post (shameless, I know), you should click on her blog link above and check it out. It's gorgeous! Oh, all right. Here's a peek ... Notice how the luncheon ...
