I LOVE creating tablescapes in my home. I approach each one as a separate design, a stand alone that tells a story, represents a theme. This allows me to use a variety of themes & colors in my home during various holidays. Good Housekeeping has created 8 fabulous tablescapes for you to use in YOUR home. Just remember, tablescapes are not just for tables. You can use these designs on any surface in your home. In fact, you can use ALL these designs on the surfaces in your home! Hmmmm…

Midwest Living has given me a week’s worth of great menu ideas for the cooler weather ahead!
