Flower Friday all about these waxed amaryllis bulbs that have become so popular these last few years. We have enjoyed them the last two Christmas seasons, and this year I found a gold dipped one to grace the dining table. At each supper we marvel at the beauty and how much it grows each day, excited to see the first bloom. This one has many weeks to go. Encasing the bulb in the wax must somehow lock in enough moisture that the amaryllis bulb gets enough of what it needs to create its magic. Happy first day of December everyone!

Bon Bon Soaps

Just In, Bon Bon soaps. Rarely do I buy something that is scented from a photo. But I was completely taken with the packaging on these soaps so I took the leap. I was in no way disappointed. They are even cooler in person and the scents are spectacular. What a fun and clever way to present something as utilitarian as a bar of soap.

Quince Love

November 28, 2023

The beauty of quince, which our friend Sarah gifts us with every year at this time. A much loved tradition that is gracing our dining table as I type, smelling soooooo good. A small glimpse of our little Christmas tree. Oh how I love a tabletop lit tree!

Ted’s Tip No. 460

Leave special photos out as part of a tabletop grouping. No frame necessary. Or frame if you like. It is fun memory for you to look at often when you walk by the image. Here, an old photo of me with my brother who slipped this in a recent card he had sent. It sits on our dresser top and I see it when picking out socks for the day.
