I love designing tablescapes. I started back in September 2010 and I now design tablescapes to share on my blog as well as on "Between Naps on the Porch" for Tablescape Thursdays.

My passion for designing tablescapes has sent me out on a search to buy more dishes that I can share every week.

I also enjoy making my own napkins to go with my different dishes and I love to mix and match some of my beautiful dishes.

~~American as Apple Pie~~


I hope, however you celebrate Memorial Day, you all have a safe
and great time
with your families and friends.
This is a day we recognise the ultiment sacrafise men and women made defending this great nation
as well as all of us!

We did go see the Flag raised at Houston National Cemetery. The Scouts
took part in the raising of 300 U.S. flags alone the cemetery roads.
I wish you all a Safe Day !!

Today was a laid back day with family for lunch! Hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad
and last but not least, apple pie with vanilla ice cream! Yummy!!!
My top china is vintage~ Seltmann Theresia china red dessert set.
This is for my Apple Pie.
My ceterpiece was flowers from Randalls ~~
I hope you all come Back !!! Please take a moment to comment.
Thank you so much! Iam linking up with these Blogs for there linky parties.

Good Morning,

Just getting back to you from PS, tired of fighting with Blogger so...... But I hear if you leave the check mark off "Stay Signed In", it actually allows you to answer people back. Go figure.

Thanks for stopping by my blog for PS. Have a wonderful weekend and just love your sets, they are beautiful.

Hope to see you around PS again:-)

Love, Light, & Happiness, CindyLew
