The Tampa Train Station was restored by a local grass roots group. In the waiting room is a display of artifacts from the late grate Atlantic Coast Railroad.
A place setting from when dining on a train meant DINING.
during a quiet lunch at a restaurant in grünwald, a simple rose in a glass jar caught my eye. there was something timeless in the way its soft petals glowed under the gentle light, a delicate presence in an intimate setting. as i captured the moment, i thought of my wife—the rose was like a quiet gesture of love in the middle of our day, reminding us of life’s beautiful, unspoken moments.
Day 3/31
At the moment I'm decorating my lounge, hence why I decided on a monthly project of something I could do indoors.
I love Christmas, and a Christmas with all the trimmings is just what I enjoy. Therefore Christmas luncheon had on the back terrace is a classic affair. Royal Albert "Val d'Or" tableware, crystal glasses, Sheffield cutlery, antique silverware and napkin rings, antique linen and Tom Smith Christmas crackers. However, it is my floral centrepiece that I enjoy most about my table setting every Christmas. This year my florist supplied me with white and brilliant red roses. The photos don't do the red justice. The asparagus fern comes from my garden, as I like to create my own centrepieces.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day and are enjoying the time between here and New Year's Eve.
Set for Christmas - Day 7
A simple dinner this evening ... tuna, avocado and tomaotes on toasted panini, followed by the mince pies we didn't eat yesterday.
As we are now into the Autumn months, I thought I set an Autumnal feel to the Sunday lunch table ... only just as I was about the start cooking, the OH said he didn't want a cooked meal :(

Visit to the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan on March 12, 2020. This table setting (and the two books) are for sale in the gift shop. Isn't that plate a brake disc? And, check out the wrenches as silverware.

Happy Easter to everyone who is celebrating this feast of new life! My Easter table is set and ready for the lamb dinner that we'll eat tonight. The flowering cherry tree in our back yard is losing its blossoms on this windy day so I gathered some flowers and petals for our table. Our white wisteria is also past its peak but there were still enough blossoms that these few will not be missed. The Easter basket has only two small chocolate rabbits, and that's plenty without any children around to help eat them!
...and a chocolate cake/ soufle?
...and cheese & ham to go with the bread?
...and marmelade for the second half of the bread?
...indulging and enjoying food in the morning is definetely much healthier than doing so throughout the day...especially with an empty stomach,
...as the more often we eat, the more active our digestive system is, therefore really working effectively and doing what it is supposed to do...
...supply the organism with nutrients & vitamins and burn the calories.
Even those times in my life that waking up so early as 5:30a.m in the morning was required, breakfast was a meal to certainly not miss and tried to enjoy as much as possible...
...back then I found that having the table set since the previous night and having made some preparations was an encouragement to not skip breakfast by saying that there isn't enough time...
Quality of life doesn't only rely into living in the next more beautiful and bigger house, into having the next more fancy and modern car or which other belonging,
but also and rather moslty into celebrating every moment like the treasure that it is....a real present!
...after all, such moments are carried with us wherever we are and go.
Product goods definetely add to our quality of life as well, but nothing can happen unless we cherish life for the simple joys...
There have been sadly so many wealthy but unhappy, unhealthy people, past my life, and so much fewer who can combine both internal and material wealth...I'm reaching slowly to the conclusion that it probably goes from inside out, in order for there to be a meaning and true happiness.
What we have inside will be expressed in our realities...
Did you have a nice breakfast this morning?
-> Yes?...splendid!
-> No?...would you probably like to try it once?
This wonderful vintage set with original pink vinyl seats looks so wonderful on our porch. I set it with some vintage dishes and my (I hate to admit it) faux cake. ; )!!!
A rather elegant room scene from a place called Longwood Gardens. Basically all I did was point and shoot. It's called the Music Room because that's what it originally was.
The flowers there are exceptional and well displayed. I'm not much of a flower shooter but my daughter (LittleUnit) got some real nice floral images, IMO. Hope she posts them soon.
This is the second year I have checked these out! We went to the fair on the second day and they had the room locked as they were getting ready for a pageant competition. We were lucky; they let us sneak in to check out these table settings. I posted some of my favorites. I hope you enjoy!
Which one is your favorite? The camping theme won first and the pink bunny theme won second. I especially loved the cloud centerpiece!!!!
