Sorry, we’re sold out
I’m a fan of the Black Rooster Bakery. It’s been named in Southern Living magazine as one of the top local bakeries. Everything is made fresh daily and once it’s sold out, there’s no more until the next time they make...Dear Postman, Please Deliver to Camp
When I was away at summer camp, Earnie didn’t send me gifts in the mail. Side bar: My gift was usually waiting when I came home — a totally cleaned out and newly decorated bedroom. The thing now is when you send your kid away for camp,...
Hope Springs Eternal
I’m cold. It’s 40 degrees outside. Rainy. Phil was a little premature in his forecast of spring. But, I know that soon, it will be hot. 100. Humid. Here’s a little stroll of my backyard sanctuary. Even though I may...Party Like a 90-Year Old
I had the greatest pleasure on Saturday to attend the 90th birthday party of my dear friend, Julia Johnson. She and Earnie have known each other for almost 60 years. They raised their children together, and buried their beloved husbands together. Julia moved to...
Heaven Sent
One month ago today, my sweet Daddy went to live in heaven. Of course he timed it with the full moon, because sure enough he was out on Saturday night. Sister Bee called me and said have you seen Papa’s Moon? I ran outside. It was so...
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

🦞🦞 Comment LINKS, and I`ll send you the shopping sources for my nautical themed tablescape. While a few things are new to me, most are vintage or from my party pantry.
Setting the table is one of my favorite things to do. But, I do try to make it "simply elegant" and do as much as I can the day before, so setting my table can be my single focus.
The shell topiaries are from Mr. Twist`s 60th birthday a few years ago. They`re Styrofoam balls with a variety of shells hot glued all over set on top of wicker planters. Then I scattered a few sizes of starfish on the table, with bowls of salt water taffy to nibble on after dinner.
The wicker pitcher is a Walmart find. I placed a mason jar filled with hydrangeas down inside it. And added a few pieces of blue saliva from my garden.
Let me know what your favorite thing is about the table. 👇👇
