Tuesday, June 24, 2025 Designing and Dining

~ Foodiness

Several of you put forth some ideas for my dilemma about wanting to step up a notch or two in the way I set my table for guests. Thank you! Here’s what I ended up with:

Flowers from our garden!

Now I find that a table setting mania has settled over me. One of you mentioned the idea of using a bold splash of yellow and I found a couple items that I might purchase in the future.

I was surprised to see that you can get attractive paper napkins like the above (which tells you just how far out of touch with this part of the world I’ve been). There’s some appeal to this because these don’t need to be washed and ironed.

Last but certainly not least, an old friend and loyal reader of this blog contributed a quilted table runner that she had made! It’s gorgeous! Thank you, Lori!

All in all, this has been a very rewarding experience and I’ve been blessed by your contributions. I thought you might like to hear (and see) the rest of the story. You just never know what’s going to show up on this blog, do you? I don’t, that’s for sure.

If the table runner doesn’t catch up with the napkins, I’ll be deleting this in the morning.

Too old to figure out how to start a blog; too young to give up entirely.

  3. Dignified but fun at the same time!

    I have 3 green heavy-duty cutting mats that I taped together and am using as a combined place mat/ table runner/ work surface. Does that count?
