Lunch In The Conservatory

Choosing: menu, dishes, silver, linens, making a fire. Anticipating guests arrival. We walk in the garden, lunch, conversation, laughter, & hard truths too. Life is welcomed in my Conservatory.

You should see the floor, counters, sink, each a disaster.

Wise women know, build the Conservatory first. Priorities, priorities, priorities.

    Tara,

    I'm sure your guests will have a lovely time. Lunch in the conservatory sounds delightful.

    Thanks for telling us the "whole" picture - messy kitchen & all - less we think you've been "stylin'" for the camera! Real life is the best & it's messy!

    What can I bring?

    Or should I simply surprise you?

    Just the mere word "conservatory" conjures up such fabulous images!
