Kathleen...I see you started the day off with a fine breakfast and dinner, with all the 'trimmings' .
I love how you painted the napkin rings to match your napkins..they go perfectly together. I like the different looks of your tablesettings. The white and darker greens with the gold accents is beautiful.

Thanks, Jane.
The dark green is Noritake Fitzgerald..I don't have enough of those for company..picked them up when we had the Noritake Outlet here a few years ago..
Are you back yet?

Kathleen...I love every table you set as well as the food!

We'll be leaving in about two weeks.
Tomorrow we meet with a Rep from the Management Group. They will oversee renting the condo.
It's the last thing I want to do..but don't have any choice. The market is just awful for resale here. When we first bought this 4 yrs ago... Everyone was flipping homes and condos, at such a fast pace, and for such a huge profit. We just planned to keep it as a good investment and also use it as a great place to come for the winters.. Now, everything is going down in value and each month, a mortgage payment is being thrown away...espec since it's sitting here empty most of the time.
I'm looking forward to getting back..hopefully to Spring in full swing...(a week before Easter).
I will have to 'hop like a bunny'..as my DD said the kids would all like to come to our place for Easter..(lots of Easter Egg Hunting Space outside)!! Not too much time for DH and I to unwind...lol

How charming and how nice you had friends to share it with

Kathleen,

I just visited your blog and I don't have the words to
describe everything I saw....what talent and attention
to details! I always say "presentation is everything"
as I am someone who tends to eat with my eyes.

Thank you, Marcia..I appreciate your vist and comments here.

I always liked dishes and setting the table, but the great people here made the sharing fun.. They are also enablers! :0
So be careful!
And welcome, Marcia..I think you will like it here. We find a reason to do tables at the drop of a hat!

Hi Minnie, nice to hear from you!

Kathleen, I like both your casual St. Pat's table and the more elegant one. That Irish gent/leprechaun tipping his hat and pot o' gold flowers add to the charm of the 1st one and the beautiful floral centerpiece you created for the 2nd one is lovely. That, along with the yummy food you always make - You sure are one talented lady!

Your family and friends are so lucky. I'll bet they are always anticipating what wonderful table setting will greet them when they come to dinner.

As always, these are beautiful. - Gail

Kathleen that is beautiful....wouldn't you like to come to Texas on vacation...about the 9th of May???? Our tea party would be the hit of the century with you in charge!
Thanks for posting the beautiful tables! (and the luscious strawberries!)

Love the breakfast setting!! Very cozy looking. All your tables are beautiful, of course. My fav is the casual one with your painted napkin rings. They look great with those napkins. Like the centerpiece with the pot of gold looking thing too.

Shoot, kathleen, I did better than that. I viewed the entire blog and booked marked it. My most sincerest compliments.
