One of my favorite things to do over the past year has been learning how to set a formal table. It all started with my thrifting love, yet it has become a real hobby. The time (and not too too much money) I have spent collecting dishes and other tableware is a little shocking, but I try not to focus on that because I have had so much fun with exploring different styles and mixing and matching fun tablescapes for holidays and other special occasions. It has become a small way to give to my friends and family. Seeing their delight when coming over and having something unique and thoughtful greet them before book club or a birthday or just a random dinner has been so lovely to observe. It feeds my fire and helps lift my heart from the dredges of life that I linger in too often. I am thankful for finding such a simple way to show love and get such happy returns in smiles on faces, let alone all the lovely memories we make.
