What am I
working on right now? Right now I'm planning for fall decorating, entertaining
and of course tables! I have an idea for using my new milk glass
collection in my design in the dining room this fall. Also, I have an
idea for some cute painted flatware for Halloween. Finally, my daughter is
getting married in fall, 2015 so we are just beginning planning for her big
day.

How does my work differ from others in this genre? I think
my work differs because I like to use a combination of vintage and new items to
set tables and entertain. I think entertaining should feature both pieces
you have inherited by family or find and easy to clean up pieces such
as dishwasher safe and paper items. I am not a total DIY girl, I like to
mix in a few pieces I've crafted along with items we can buy at the store and
then vintage pieces. Finally, I think my work is in a price point that
most people can afford, which makes it more accessible to everyone wanting to
just add a new piece or two each season.
Why do I write / create what I do? I began blogging in 2009
as a way to creatively share my ideas for parties, decor and
entertaining. My daytime job is in the accounting profession and
therefore entertaining and decorating allow me to express myself in a creative way
totally different than my career.
How does your
writing process actually work? I would like to say all my posts are
planned out weeks ahead of time and scheduled accordingly, but in actuality my
posts generally are written organically from ideas thru reading on the porch, points of inspiration in my travels, based on the seasons or
in great pieces I buy at antique stores and estate sales on the weekends.
