Having people in your home is really just about creating a sense of comfort.
Entertaining may not always feel that simple, but it really is.
Their physical comfort is important, of course, but I believe your house can send a message of comfort too.
My house sends me that message every single day.
So last night with teacher friends sitting at my dining room table, that was the message I wanted to send, and I wanted my house to say that too.
And so earlier in the day, dark cream colored roses named Canela (cinnamon) called to me at HEB.
After all, cinnamon is the ultimate comfort spice.
That is how the table evolved with color and texture and warmth.
And then because I love these little salt shakers, I added these (for me).
They make me smile.

Gorgeous table. Yes, you are so right about comfort. Guests should feel comfort above all.

Your table is beautiful, Laura. What did you serve?
Pretty! It was always so hard for us to keep our kitty off the table -- especially when there were flowers involved!
Lovely...simply lovely...it says...Laura! I think we must have been thinking along the same lines this week... about home and creating and what it speaks to visitors ...family... :-) (Hugs) to you Laura. Thanks for sharing your beauty and creativity! Enjoyed!

Laura,
You have a fun blog and it seems we have some things in common. I noticed you like zinnias and gardening and you teach school, therefore, you must be nice!
Love the plates! And the beautiful roses in the pretty cut glass vases! You certainly have entertaining down pat! :)
