An Autumn Table



 Autumn is upon us...
I set this fall harvest table this time last year 
but I did not get the chance to post it because 
I had surgery and the pleasures of blogging 
were put on "the shelf" for a while.

                                       


 An arrangement from the local Farmers Market.


The dinner menu was one of my favorite 
late summer meals. 


The table was set


with a Crate and Barrel pattern 
from years ago.
I was "smitten" with the pattern
from the minute I saw it. 


The cold gazpacho
served in ceramic autumn veggie bowls.


The napkins are a mix of 
my little collection of
"frayed by Kelley" napkins


The butter dish, a favorite
Fritz and Floyd piece.


This year I will not be setting tables 
adorned in autumn motif because I 
stayed in Florida this summer 
but I will be returning next spring
and will appreciate the four seasons 
more than EVER.

Until then you can find me here...


No complaints!!!

Wishing you Health and Happiness!

This is ME

I always love taking a new class...
I just signed up for a Picture A Day class taught by:

Big Picture Classes

Each week day for 8 weeks we will be given a photo "prompt".
I have taken classes from this group before and I have always enjoyed the class
AND
learned lots about photography 
AND
about myself.

My "homework" for the weekend is to
 "introduce" myself through photography.
Our homework is posted in a student gallery. 
I must admit I peeked at the other students "homework"
 I find it so interesting how each one of us 
expresses ourselves so differently.



Assignment completed!

Wishing You a Wonderful Weekend!

Good for the Heart times two

The longer I am absent from "blogging" 
the harder it is to think of something to post.
I find that when I visit other blogs they are so:

beautiful...


(moon flower from my garden, 
one of the few plants that has survived the hot Florida summer)

glamorous...
cute...
a DIY showcase...

then I think of something to post and 
I feel that it can't possibly live up to such 
high expectations.

Ohhhhh the pressure:):):)



Then I remember a little promise I made
 to myself about a year ago
That I would only blog from the heart,
 not to try to measure up to other blogs.
I will post  happy, silly, sad, creative 
just because it makes me happy.


 Yep, good for the heart and straight from the heart.

Today I discovered something 
else that is good for the heart. 

this concoction...

Overnight Oatmeal


disclaimer...I "pinned" this from Pinterest a while ago,
 finally got around to making it last night and then...
(dramatic music please)
 the reality of eating it...simply put 
I was dreading it. 

OH GOOD NEWS...I loved it!
Bells and whistles please.

This post...
 is not witty,
it is not glamorous,
hardly talented 
perhaps a little informative 
but A Lot of YUMMY
 and good for you and your heart.

Wishing you Health and Happiness!
Kelley
