simply book club


We have simple snacks or dessert for our book clubs but usually enjoy a festive table. Why not? 






Don't we all love to gaze upon beauty? It just does something good for us. A form of art for sure.

Lydia  Grace hosted us in her lovely home and combined two sets of dishes for a beautiful view of blue and white, set off so nicely in her blue and white dining room.


Azaleas were in full bloom that spring evening, so we enjoyed them at the table. Our gatherings always make a memory! 

     
                                      Thanks, LG !!!

Check out Susan's Between Naps on the Porch for more pretty tablescapes.

  1. That is a gorgeous table...of course, blue and white is one of my favorite color combinations. What pretty dishes. Your book club knows how to enjoy beauty. I agree with you that it is a form of art.

  4. Our book club is coming up Monday night and I have always wanted to do a simple dinner too. I like sitting around a table discussing the book. Your friend set a lovely table. So....what are you reading next, she asked?

  10. What an absolutly beautiful setting for a wonderful gathering! I love the sweet answer your little niece gave for why there are little girls. HA! And ground nut soup -- yum! A friend from Ghana gave me this recipe and I used to make it all the time. I don't eat meat anymore, but it was one of my favorite soups ever! Hope you are having a great day! :) Tammy
