All things pink and cottagey...at my table

I have a bit of a love affair with cottage style decor....and tables.

 I love a table with a soft colored tablecloth on it....

and perhaps a table runner.

 I love to walk in a dining room or kitchen and see a table sweetly adorned with the prettiest tableware...

letting your guests know that they are invited perhaps for a meal or just coffee and a visit! The table indeed welcomes your friends and guests to visit...and enjoy themselves while visiting your home.

 A table also invites people to enjoy a meal with you...letting them know they are special and worth making a meal for. 

When our kids were growing up I found that they would spill millions of details about school and friends while sitting at our table, eating the smallest of morsels.

 A plate full of cookies, cut up apples, or carrots would often lead to a conversation about homework,  girlfriends, or a rough day that my kids navigated through....

 Funny how I miss them at my table...now I get phone calls from college hearing all their stories...

but I walk by my table, and smile...

because I remember how precious those moments were!

Blessings,

Debbie
