Destination: England — A Travel Adventure

I thought it was about time I devoted a full post to one of our travel adventures!  Although I've included photos from our travels in various tablescape posts that were inspired by the trips, I've been remiss in not actually sharing the trips themselves.

 

First up is England — we're hoping to visit the other parts of the UK soon. We began and ended our trip in London.

A poignant installation of deep red ceramic poppies washed across the lawn in front of the Tower of London.  The breathtaking display featured 888,246 ceramic poppies in the art installation 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' that served as a reminder of the lives lost during World War I and the lasting impact of conflict. 

 

    

Summertime Blues on a Carefree Table

Summer is coming! Temperatures are rising and I'm planning ways to stay cool during the long, lazy days of summer. One carefree way to enjoy simmering days and leisurely evenings is to surround myself in the cool blues of summer.
