a place of joy, peace, and happiness

Time to set the table. Eat outside for sure! Even if it is raining. Be informal, use an old door, wooden table, or haul out your kitchen set. I collect white dishes. This makes it very easy to know what to look for at Good Will. I also just use clear glass items drink out of. I have jars, stem ware, and some old mugs. My silverware is also miss-matched. That's OK, I can serve about 40 folks, and it has a quaint shabby chic look.
My green contribution is to use linen napkins. White, of course, to match all the white table clothes I have. A stroll in the yard yielded some Queen Ann's Lace for the table & long blades of grass to tie around the cloth before they were placed on the plates. The setting looked both informal, relaxed and classic all at the same time. Maybe a better word is inviting....
