A Toile Tale

I know.....I've been missing.  I have ignored my blog in favor of Instagram.  It's a matter of time management.  I won't totally walk away from A Toile Tale, but I'm posting less.  I'm not entertaining less, however, so please follow me on Instagram...

There's an adorable couple that we've been wanting to have to dinner, and last weekend we finally had them over.  They are horse lovers, so I dug into my stash of equine decorations and put together this table.  I'll admit that it was very hard for me...

We had a group of friends here for an early Fourth of July party.  Everyone brought a dish and  we had such a good time.  This is what greeted everyone at the end of our driveway.  I've started putting any gate decorations on with zip ties, as some have...

When we dumped the trip to see fireworks tonight due to the rain, that meant that we'd be unexpectedly eating inside at home.
I can always lay my hands on red white and blue and set a fast table.
I grabbed my "Toile Tale" china which is Scalamandre by Lenox.  I set it on a blue rimmed white enamel charger that I just bought at Michael's.  Don't ask me why, but they were in the wedding section....
