~Inspired by Waterlogue and Simple & Sweet Fridays #158~

I've been inspired by the app Waterlogue on so many blogs and decided to try it.

Carly helped me set it up on my iPhone.

I took a photo of the dining room table and it turned out like this.

Love it!

After seeing the watercolor,

 I got inspired to set a romantic table setting.

I found this beautiful French fabric up in Northern California 

and wanted to use it for the tablecloth.

I made a layer cake for dessert.

Love the different purple colors.

 ~Chocolate Treats~

I just love lavender, artichokes and eggplant.

I used them as a centerpiece with some silver.

Cute black and white name cards.

My french butter dish.

A wonderful romantic table setting inspired by Waterlogue.

Check out our new Silver Teapot Wind Chimes on our Etsy site.

Perfect for a special Mother's Day present.

~Create, Cook and Garden and Simple & Sweet Fridays #155~

I love creating new projects.

We saw this idea using scrapbook paper to make a lampshade.

All you need is a wine glass, scissors, double sided tape, 

scrapbook paper, template and LED tea light.

We found the idea from Good Housekeeping.

I have lots of craft paper and found

 this romantic paper for the project.

You can make a romantic setting, 

just by using paper and a wine glass. 

I had some pretty rose scrapbook paper.

Another idea for a charming tablescape.

Carly made some rosemary focaccia last night 

from a recipe she found online.

It was a delicious!

Stan and I just got back from a road trip in the Pacific Northwest.

We found lots of wonderful shops in

Aberdeen, Quinault, Seabrook, Lake Townsend, Whidbey Island, Mt. Vernon and Seattle.

I'll share photos of the trip next week.

Can't wait to go back,

it was just BEAUTIFUL!!

I wanted to share photos of our garden this week.

Looking forward to more inspiring ideas this week!
