Memorial Day Table Setting 2013

Hard to believe it is Memorial Day already! 
Memorial Day is a time to show our pride for our country and honor those who fought so hard to make it the wonderful place it is today.
We will be flying our flag and gathering to remember our fallen service men and women.
This long weekend is usually the mark of the beginning of summer!  Far from it here today - it was only in the forties!  
I think we will have to wait for an outdoor picnic!
I am happy to show off the Red, White and Blue and very proud to be an American.
Thank you to all the men and women who serve our country and to the families who have lost loved ones defending this great country of ours.  Please know that there are people out here who do care and pray for you everyday.

Prayers also go out to all those in Texas and Oklahoma who were tragically stricken by the tornados this past week.  Our hearts and prayers will be reaching out to you.

On a happier note, please enjoy your weekend!  Hopefully you will be able to spend some time doing the things you love!

In the past few years my interests have grown from fabric to paper and now to dishes too! I just love prints, polkadots, plaids and paisleys- hence the blog name.
