This past Easter I was behind on my prep for an early dinner gathering with my sister and her family, so I improvised by collecting a few things from around the house to put on the table. While choosing my elements I stuck with the simple…things that were useful and things within a neutral color palette.
Salt and pepper is a must. I like both fresh ground pepper and a milder white pepper (in the egg shaped shaker).
Some spotted quail eggs and feathers add a natural feel. And the bunched up string suggests a nest, which makes me think of home.
I love my home and I love my family…plain and simple. Like this string, the love goes on and on and on.
Brook recently performed 2 songs with her friend at their high school talent show (the first one is on the subject of home and the other is a cover of an Alicia Key’s song). This is the first time that I’ve had a chance to hear Brook sing in public and I’m so glad that Bill was able to capture it on video. If you like, you can click here to watch it.

Becky,
So much beauty in simplicity and you make everything you touch so elegant at the same time!!!
I hope the spirit of Spring brings joy to your heart at the earth awakens from its slumber…
Hugs,

Thank you once again, Becky, for sharing glimpses into your dear family. I so much enjoyed the music, please tell Brook and Abby their music makes me feel so peaceful…..
And your table setting is perfect, I think. I’ve always loved just one tiny flower in a wee vase with a wisp of fern over a huge bunch of flowers. Perhaps I like soft statements???
