Can not believe it's almost May! My baby will be graduating in just a couple weeks, and we will be legit empty nesters this fall. I mean we've planned a trip to New York the day after we move the child into his dorm. Are we terrible people? 

A table for two is becoming a familiar scene around this house. Not this fancy per se, but every once in a while, what the heck!

Those orange garden roses with pink peonies are the prettiest combination ever. Added the lighter orange garden roses and the french ceramic tulips, and it definitely feels like spring.

The tangerines on turquoise linens just for fun...

I adore those french ceramic tulips.. from Kansas City ~ Pear Tree Antiques

I am attracted to color all year long, but I think I crave it most in the spring after the gray days of winter... 

Setting a fancy table doesn't always mean a fancy dinner...

BLT anyone?

Those peonies and garden roses got prettier and prettier!

You guys I can't wait for next month. I will be doing my last post in this series of monthly tablescapes. After completing 12 months of entries, I will be resigning from this self-appointed task, as it has caused more stress than I imagined it would. One of those oh won't this be fun? kind of ideas that turns sour at the end of every damn month as I scramble to put a table together. Somehow I managed to take the enjoyment out of this activity by adding the forced element. I am certain that I will post an occasional tablescape in the future... A spontaneous and unforced table, with enjoyment making an unexpected appearance.
