2022 in Review - Part I

Most of my Christmas decorations are still up [and will be for a little while longer], but in the stores [except for clearance areas] Christmas has come and gone and it's all about Valentine's Day now.   Before the new year progresses much farther, I decided to put together my 2022 review and get it posted.  I only wrote 102 posts in 2022 [the smallest number of posts since I began blogging in 2012], and many of them were tablescapes and teas, so here we go...

January

An estate sale in Imlay City at the historic Palmer House resulted in the purchase of several pieces of Crinoline Lady dishware.   I was SO happy!

I used them at a tea luncheon for four guests a few weeks later.  

February

My biological odometer rolled over another year!

Valentine's Day is always a special occasion at my house, and I began dabbling in charcuterie. 

March

Paczki Day - A Detroit area Polish tradition on 'Fat Tuesday' - the day before Lent begins.  I celebrated using my Polish pottery.

I always celebrate St. Patrick's Day since I am of Irish descent on my mother's side.
