First Spring Table

Afternoon Sweet Friends,

Hope you are having a lovely Tuesday.

Ours has been good and busy, and the lovely

will come later....lol   We are preparing for

a visit from a friend of 48 years,  so just

finished up the  quest bedroom a few hours

 ago,  and tying up any lose ends, like run-

ning to the store for few things.....

and hubby did that for me.  So I actually

had some time to post today.  lol

Thought I would share my First Spring 

Table of the year, which was for my 

Sister-in-law Susan's birthday. Was

trying to come up with an idea for a 

table, and was looking thru my stash for

 ideas and came across these adorable

Spring plates and napkins I got at the

 dollar tree awhile back. Thought

they would be perfect even tho it

wasn't Spring they were cute and

would add a touch of whimsy to

for a ladies table.

A lil Tip from me:

I try to pick up paper goods when I

find some that are pretty and at a good

price cause I always find a time to

use them............

and I still had my Valentine's flowers from

hubby, and thought they went well with

the plates and napkins. So just stuck them

in a white and pretty pot and added some

candles and I had a centerpiece.

 I have gotten a

lot of mileage from this lil azalea plant.

It is still in bloom on my kitchen table

and it has been almost 4 weeks now.

I decided to us my peach stemware Susan 

 had given me, so stuck some gold mercury

 glass candle holders inside 2 of them

and they made for nice candle holders

and glasses around the table.

They only had dessert plates so just put

them on our white corelle ware and used

them for color and for salad plates. I

used 2 at each place setting to make

them more sturdy for salad.

Thought the green table cloth was perfect

as the white shows up so nicely and I love

pink, peach, green and white together.

and I obeyed what the napkin said.

"Keep Life Simple"

So I just did a simple table.........

course, a lot of my tables are 

simple....lol

Used some vintage silverware that was

 passed down from hubbies family.  I love

it's patina and it has dainty lil flowers on 

it and always reminds me of my baby

 silverware my Mom had bought for me.

A Few overviews

We had Beef Stroganoff, yellow rice, and

my rendition of a Better Homes and Gardens

Salad,  (Click here if you would like the

recipe), rolls, Cheesecake and Buttermilk

Pie w/ Strawberries.  If it sounds yummy

that's cause it was.........lol

The whole family loves Beef Stroganoff,

it was my late  Mother-in-laws recipe.

I had never eaten it before I met hubbys

family.  She used to put it over egg

noodles but I am not crazy about egg

noodles for some reason, so I prefer it

 over rice, yellow or Jasmine rice, but

if you happen to be an egg noodle

lover you might want to try it that

way.

I was gonna share my version of

  the Beef Stroganoff recipe with

you but couldn't locate it, so 

maybe I just didn't do it yet. 

 I try to put most of our favorites

 on here so my daughter can get

them if and when she wants.

Next time I make it I will have 

to post the recipe.

Thanks for coming by,

and

Have a great rest of the week.

Love, Hugs and

Last of Winter Blessings,

Nellie
