Happy New Year Table Setting

Happy New Year!

This year is going to be AMAZING, or at least I'm going to make it amazing, to the best of my abilities!

As I sit here and type this, it's cold here .  Very cold.  26 degrees at 11am.  We Texans don't do cold very well, at least this Texan doesn't! Lol!

I'm recovering from my bout with THE BUG (for the second time), but felt a bit better on New Year's Eve so I decided to create this table setting to make my dining room prettier.  Decorating is like therapy to me, but let me be honest , I had to rest after this small amount of decorating.

Although this bug is not like the first time I had it, it still makes me very tired, very quickly.  Today as I sit here, I feel much better and will be returning to work on Monday.

As usual, I used what I had on hand to create my table setting.  My favorite Pioneer Woman dishes will do for my New Year's table or anytime for that matter!

Anywhoobs, let's get on to the details on my table!  I always like to start out with a doily of some type, this time I used a runner.  Next I added a place mat, charger and then my dishes and silverware.  Next was my centerpiece.

I created my centerpiece with this in mind.  Light, Time and Memories.  The light of of our Lord Jesus, the time He gives us here on earth and the memories we create living our lives each day.

I want 2022 to be a year full of wonderful memories as I try to build a life in my new home.  Although I wish things could have ended up differently, they did not.  I am going to give it my best from here on out.  One thing I've learned from all of this is, I was NOT awake and living for the past few years.  I am now.

You can see my beautiful dresser over there that I used for a coffee bar in my last house.  I haven't quite got all of that set up yet, so I'm just decorating it to go with the rest of the room for now.

You can't go wrong with a stack of books, a beautiful ring of greenery and a pretty candle.  Oh! And of course, gorgeous vintage doily!  Ya got to have a doily!

I still have lots of things to do to get settled in my new home, but for now I have a pretty table to look at!

Now, back to unpacking more boxes.  I hope you have a wonderful day and a wonderful year!
