I was honored that the great folks at April Cornell selected a table I set recently as one of the examples to kick off the competition. They also featured a stunning table created by our friend, Yvonne at
Stone Gable! I didn't recognize the other two tables, but they were colorful and very beautiful.

  3. Sounds like fun! I'll have to peek through my catalogue and see if I have any April Cornell linens. I don't always record the maker. I've GOT to start doing that! At any rate, thanks for the heads up and have a rockin' Thanksgiving!

  4. Hi Bill,

    Popping by to wish you a Blessed Thanksgiving!
    Thanks for telling us about the AC contest. The table you did with her things is beautiful. I don't own any AC...YET! I think I feel a shopping spree coming on, though.

    Have a wonderful holiday!
    fondly,
    Rett

  8. Can I come for dinner? You could serve me toast on your china (with a glass of wine, of course!)and I would be happy.

    Seriously, the table is lovely. We are so casual here in California where I've lived for 30 years - I am nostalgic for lovely formal dinners. It would be hard not to enjoy dinner at your table.
