I’ve been keeping a secret from you…I have a new blog!!  When I started Entertain In Style, it was a motivation for me to do what I love, which is put together centerpieces and tablescapes.  In the process, I discovered that I really enjoy the communication aspect. I love talking about what is on my mind.  So, I decided to create a new blog that would include more aspects of me…

Sometimes in life, you just need an extra pop of color to liven things up.  That is just what this tablescape is!  I bought tulips from the local grocery store, paired them with the most colorful accessories I had on hand…and was so proud of the results. Colorful groupings of tulips placed in different sized clear vases give the floral centerpiece interest that causes your eye

Well, my birthday is long gone, but the memories will linger much longer!Before I get into my birthday tablescape, planned by my sister-in-law, Charlene (as promised long ago), I have to show you the “blogger” birthday card my mom gave me.  It is SO true…and I know all of my blogger readers will relate. Now, back to my “In Law” birthday celebration…We always celebrate our birthdays, with a

Months ago, I decided to sign up for Where Bloggers Create Part II, hosted by Karen Valentine at My Desert Cottage.  My office/craft room is, like many things in my life, a work in progress.  I was so excited about this new found motivation to FINISH that ongoing project.  Yet, as it always does, life got in the way.  So, today in  true, air out my dirty laundry

I have to share a few highlights from my amazing adventure at Sugar Coma OTP, hosted by The Broke Socialite, with special help from Events by Canvas.  For those of you who haven't heard, The Broke Socialite does...some Tantalyzing tours!  For this particular one, she was in Atlanta conducting a "bakery crawl", however she has additional events in other states...and she does more than

I love to give gifts, especially when I can come up with something that I feel is Distinctive, Personalized, and Memorable.  It’s a trait that my mother passed down to me.  She has always done such a good job of searching (sometimes for way too long) for the perfect gift. I firmly believe that the gift packaging is like icing on the cake, another opportunity to “Dress to Impress”.

Sunday, I had the pleasure of hosting a birthday celebration for my Mother In Law.  No, she is not "one of THOSE" Mothers in Law.  She is so kind, loving, thoughtful, giving and wonderful!!  She knows just how to use her unique gifts in the lives of those around her.  She has always taken joy in having tea parties with her three grand-daughters, so I thought it was only

Easter is just barely over a week away.As I've said before, I love taking things on hand, or basics to create a Tablescape design. This Easter Dinner Party is no exception. Some Beanie Baby bunnies, plain ol' plastic Easter eggs, and some baskets, all from my daughter's room, are the centerpiece to this table.  I just wrapped chocolate satin ribbon around the eggs and added some fresh

So, this deal was just too good not to share...and since it is entertaining related, I thought it would be ok. I ran into a jaw dropping clearance rack at Belk on Saturday.  I found this most beautiful Biltmore China.  I purchased all five pieces for $35!!  I SAVED $205 off the original price!!!  So, you might want to head to your local Belk Home Department Clearance rack to

An anniversary is about more than years gone by.  This modern take is a glamorous way to celebrate two lives that became one.  A sheer black and white overlay is the backdrop for this tablescape.  However, the focal point is the wedding day picture that is displayed on the white cake plate with black and white striped ribbon. The "Happy Anniversary" Message in a bottle sets

Last night, America watched, as Jason and Molly tied the knot on ABC. There were some definite hits and misses when it comes to the event planning and design side. To watch: Full Episodes - The Bachelor - ABC.com The most obvious flaw in this wedding was the ridiculous way no one had a plan B for the torrential down pour, that did, in fact, soil the day...and the appearance of everyone

As quickly as you can pickup ingredients for your meal, you can pick up pizzazz for your table. A $5 mixed bouquet from Publix added to what I already had on hand and brightened the table for this quickly planned dinner party for 4.  All I had to do was arrange the flowers in a vase when I got home, and place the white candles in silver holders on each side. The place settings consisted

When it comes to your tablescape, the easiest thing you can do is decorate with what you have on hand.  This Asian Inspiration was just that!  I love collecting Chinese pieces, so this was a great place to start.  Neutral linens and dishes were a great backdrop for my colorful, treasured collection.  The centerpiece began with two

Whether you consider yourself to be a creative person with a natural talent for decorating, someone who always seems to be stuck throwing things together and just can't get it right, or are just too scared to try, you are in the right place. My portfolio of ideas was created to give you easy and easily accessible ideas to help you get started, or at least get those creative juices flowing.
