Easy-Peasy Centerpieces /Take 1


Hello, dear friends.  Have you got all of your shopping done?  Mine is checked off my list.  I only hope that everything arrived.  Every time a package is delivered to our less-than-orderly mailroom, I throw it in the back of the closet unopened and hope that when I retrieve it, the item will be wrapped and labeled.  

We are off to Fort Worth today to check out some houses.  I haven't been there since my #1 went to TCU.  We do have our eyes on a house in Plano.  As with everything, it has a few drawbacks, and we have debated back and forth as to whether we can live with them.

Today is an encore post.  Here is some tablescape inspiration for your holiday table.  As with almost every decor post on this blog, I cannot take one ounce of credit for the hard work and creativity.

That masterpiece on the table is the extent of my artistic skillset.

You are so clever and your blog gives me great ideas. Thank you for sharing your life with me. Peggy. Season-to-season.blogspot.com

  2. I went to high school in SW Arlington, right on the edge of Fort Worth. It's amazing that FW has such a different vibe from Dallas, being only 30 minutes away. Good luck with the house hunting!

  10. Katie,
    We are California, born and raised, but in 1980 we were transferred to Arlington, TX. It was our first time living in another state. (except the mister's time in the army in Germany). I remember thinking Garland reminded me of the planned community we moved from (Irvine) and liking it.
    Good luck with your home search. You clearly have great taste in homes since I loved your Boston home.
    xo,
    Karen

  11. My firstborn and his family live in Plano!!! I think it's a great lil community. Hope you find something there. Lots of great restaurants and shopping with 1/2 the people of dallas proper. But Fort Worth is pretty cool too. Maybe Santa will bring you your perfect house!!

  15. Katie,
    I just came across your blog. You definitely want to live in Fort Worth. It is a great city that lives like a small town. Plano is so crowded and the traffic is awful. Look around the TCU area there are some great charming homes. Not too big with great charm.
    We just moved to Kansas City from Fort Worth and we lived in the Berkley neighborhood and loved it. We would have never moved but our grandson is in Kansas City!
