I'm back.... I was roped into helping my younger sister with getting her 3 boys ready for school. I spent a few days in the big city, helping with home, laundry and getting after school schedules in place. Being a single mom is not easy; she is the bread winner and mother to 3 rambunctious young boys.
While there I thought of everything I needed to do here to ready myself for school next week. I had also thought of what I can write about it here. That is the point of this blog, to share with you this journey into an Artistic Life. I have come to see that Artful Living is a lot of planning, it isn't you make something pretty, say your dinning room table (which I like doing for my sister's table) but it take some planning. Planning of when to change, plan of storing & packing. Some of the items are mine and some are my sister's; and I have to keep track of where I put something so that I may use again. Though some are easier then others and some feel incomplete but they have all have put a smile on my face.
This is my Boston Tea Party center piece for the table in July was a pretty way to keep my tea cups right where they where.

I received the sugar bowl for Mother's Day and was enjoying it on the table. When July came I was not ready to put the tablescape away, so I tucked the Patriotic decorations amid the Tea Dishes

It is easily changeable for the seasons:

| One Summer to show off the Citrus |
 |
| Valentines Day Tea |
 |
| My Heart Tree |
 |
| Christmas & my Sister's new Cardinal Salt & Pepper Shakers |

My Sister has a nice collection of Christmas Salt & Pepper Shakers and loved when I arranged them in a centerpiece. (can't seem to find that picture)

| Easter | |
These are just a few of the tablescapes I have done, and have been doing them for the past couple years.

Well, I'm off to finish my laundry and do some dishes. And get the table ready for fall.
Till next week,
Mia
