I’ve been told I love to ramble on, so why not pass along some of my ramblings from this past month to all of you!
I was scrolling the world wide web and found this adorable table setting. The author actually made this for Mother’s Day but oh, how it could be used spring through summer. I love the garden theme to it! I loved how she took an old oil lantern and used the bottom for a flower vase! And those placemats are simply felt cut out to look like flowers! Those small terracotta pots could be used for so much! Be sure to check out Michelle’s post to see more about this table setting and how she made it!
something to chew on
What I’m watching & listening to
🎥 I watched American Manhunt: The Boston Bomber and was just pulled into this story. I now have high respect for the city of Boston and what they went through those days after the bombing. Very well-done documentary on Netflix. Be sure to pay attention to the guy who was in his “brand new” car when the bombers jumped in his car. He actually gave me a chuckle, but hate this happened to him.
🎥 I watched The Queens Gambit and couldn’t stop! I’m not a real big chess fan, well, actually, it’s rather boring. Anyway, this was a great series and Anna Taylor Joy played a wonderful part! Based in the ’60s, the music and clothing were top-notch. Sadly, there won’t be a second season on Netflix. 😥
🎶 Even though I love crime drama BUT, give me a good garden podcast and I’m there. If you read Southern Living magazine, you know who the Grumpy Gardener is. Love him!! He has started a new podcast called Ask Grumpy. I listen to him on iHeart radio. They are very short podcasts and great advice.
🎶 If you love the 70s and 80s playlist, check out Spotify. I’ve listened to channels from Pandora, Amazon, and Sirius. But, Spotify seems to have the best selection.
I would love to hear your suggestions for crime podcasts to add to my list.

Your blog is always full of the neatest ideas! I particularly like the different TV shows and movies you’ve watched; it gives me an idea of what to check out next! Thanks so much for sharing!
I adore that place setting! The little flower pot is such a unique idea!
I really enjoyed The Queens Gambit as well.
I will check out the podcast you mentioned!
I really enjoy the Queen’s Gambit too! I watched it with the whole family!
I also watch the Queen’s Gambit and it was so awesome, I even wanted to rewatch it
I love to ramble too, LOL!! I have heard The Queens Gambit is good, I need to start it over the weekend. I want to also see the American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing.
I love the idea of the clay pots for a place setting. This is a very nice look.
It’s like getting a glimpse into your world, and I absolutely adore the table setting you found—so perfect for spring and summer!
I enjoyed the Queens Gambit too!!!! I must agree, it was a well made series.
I love those patio ideas! I need to make some changes this summer!
The Queen’s Gambit looked like such a fun watch, and documentaries like The Boston Bomber fills me with so much anxious dread. It’s incredible how quickly people can change and you just never know how bad its gotten til it’s too late.
Haha, love that quote! I’m literally living in my sweatpants these days 😜.
I wish that I had Netflix. I’d love to watch the Boston bomber. It sounds like an interesting documentary.
I so love that table settings, so neat and really adorable
The Queen’s Gambit has been on my to-watch list for too long now.. I need to get to it soon.. I don’t play chess as well, but the show has intrigued me since the start
I loved the Queens Gambit too! I watched it when. it first came out and what a fabulous show and story. I also love your table setting above…so my style with the potted plant looking flatware holder…. love it!
