Welcome to another Styled & Set event where we pull out all the stops to share beautiful, unique tablescapes for your enjoyment and inspiration.  Thank you to Lory of Designthusiam for putting this all together.

If you are coming over from Anita's at Cedar Hill Farmhouse, she may have been on the phone with me while you were there. 

You see we just opened our new shop on Monday and today is my turn to feature the products I designed. And well, we are super excited and making plans for the coming weeks...

Tables are often decorated for holidays & guests.  I think we should sometimes treat ourselves as guests.

So if you find yourself solo for a meal...

Put the plate down & step away from the counter.

Dining solo should not be a hurried, vertical event.

Relax, kick your shoes off, grab a stack of pretty books & magazines.

Pour a favorite beverage, pull up a table to a comfy chair.  Then settle in and enjoy!

Enjoy the peace, the slow pace and the quiet ~ and don't feel guilty about it.

Every once in a while I end up home alone for dinner.

I have to say, it is kinda nice.

Nicer when you take the time to make yourself feel special, like you make everyone else feel all the time.

So set a pretty table, even if it is a small accent table. 

Use the "good stuff" ~ you'll only have to hand wash a few pieces.

Eat whatever you want...and eat it slowly.  Savor the meal & the time.

Beautiful tablescapes don't have to be jut for company or holidays.

Elevate the everyday ~ your everyday, by setting a beautiful table for one, two or just a few.

It is really easy to do, especially now that the Decorating Tips and Tricks home decor shop is open!!

Have you heard? 

We flung open the doors to quite a crowd on Monday.  Today is another sale featuring a collection I designed.

There are placemats, napkins, darling tea towels, pillows, lavender schets and more.  And SO much more is coming! 

We are just getting started.  We have a sale every Monday, Wednesday & Friday featuring our designs that are created in the USA.
