Hello sweet friends! This Memorial Day, we remember those heroes who courageously gave their lives. We can never say “thank you” enough to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to insure our freedom. Mr. Décor will be busy volunteering with the United States Coast Guard to keep boaters safe. I’ll be preparing the house and garden for his sister Lisa’s arrival early next week. I’ve gathered some inspiring ideas to share today on Saturday Smiles 102.
The 1936 tall ship The Eagle. A three-masted sailing barque with 21,350 square feet of sail.
Saturday Smiles 102
I generally post on Sundays but the family has plans to go out on a boat patrol. I’ll be packing a few of these wonderful Easy Boat Snacks.
Spring Tablescape Ideas
There are 12 stunning tablescape ideas in this post. I decided to feature a lavender gem to commemorate lilac season.
Books Make Me Bloom
I loved this idea of bringing books to life by creating a floral arrangement. There are some fabulous ideas.
Sensationally Secondhand
Many on the internet are promoting this weekends Memorial Day sales. In a twist I encourage you to visit estate.net and estatesales.org to perhaps find some lovely sales that might be happening in your neighborhood today. This charming home was furnished with a wide variety of second hand gems.
A Collected Home
In a similar fashion this post provides great information on how to find your style and create a lovely layered home.

Summer Garden Themed Dining Room
I hope you have a lovely day. I’ll be taking a few days off to continue to prepare for and enjoy our houseguest.
See you soon!

The book-themed floral/plant arrangements are so charming. I know you must love the Peter Rabbit scarecrow idea as much as I do.
Oh my goodness, Laura, those boat snacks are ANYtime snacks, such a great variety! Thanks, and enjoy your weekend.
