About Us

Pat and Katie: Pat, the oldest sister, is married (happily for over 40 years) and has one daughter. She enjoys gardening, cooking, quilting, sewing, reading and tablescaping. In addition, she volunteers for several local non-profit organizations. Pat comes up with the ideas for the tablescapes and usually sets the table.

I am the one that usually writes the blog and takes the pictures.
