Heritage Golf Tournament ~ Tartan Plaid Rules

Spring has officially arrived in Hilton Head, South Carolina...
 when it's Heritage time!  Theme: Tartan Rules; get your plaid on...
(One week after the Masters in Augusta, Georgia.)
We had so much fun with the T A R T A N theme!!!

We added grass, golf balls & tees to the existing mantle arrangement!

Thyme with Friends...is thyme well spent!

This was a great milestone birthday celebration for three dear friends!
There was so much thyme growing in our garden, it inspred the theme for this luncheon! 

At each place setting was a little basket of fresh thyme! 
We created placecards to match the invitations! 



Thyme Luncheon Menu...

Steel Magnolias Luncheon

This luncheon theme is perfect for good friends or as a bridal luncheon! 
If you have magnolia trees in your yard (or a neighbor's), you are in business!
Easy to make magnolia wreaths on tables...very easy, very Southern.

Place magnolia in numerous containers all over the house; no arranging really necessary.

Super easy, beautiful centerpiece!  An easy, "simple but elegant" centerpiece!



Easy arrangement! Cluster bottom row of magnolias, top row of white carnations!  Insert tall sticks! Very elegant...

I have a strict policy that nobody cries alone in my presence.

  Smile! It increases your face value.

    Well, you know what they say:   if you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!

      There is no such thing as natural beauty.
