Proud as a Peacock
I usually enjoy my Christmas decor for an additional week after the New Year and then take it all down. I then decorate for our annual February formal dinner party. Each year I choose a country to focus the theme on their Mardi Gras traditions, food, wine, and music. For an example, see my previous… Continue reading Proud as a Peacock

Spring Decor
I had intended to design a new Spring look for the Dining room this year, but the supply chain issues ruined that plan. I hope to have everything by next Spring!
