The Weekly Muse: 22nd Edition
Welcome to The Weekly Muse, a behind the scenes look at weekly happenings, musings, and favorite things that caught my eye. I bet you’ll like them too!
My Week at a glance
What a mish-mash of things this past week was. Writing blog posts, putting fall away, planning and pulling Christmas out, cleaning muddy puppy paws, and on and on.
For whatever reason, this meme seems fitting this week.
I could use a little help from you though. I’m going to be hosting a meeting here for a few people from my church one evening next week and will be serving light snacks and/or dessert type finger foods.
I want it to be nice, but not stuffy. I get stuck when I think through the serving possibilities though.
Set it up on the kitchen island? But the sink is there. On a counter? But other stuff is there. On a sideboard? But that seems too pretentious. What would you do?
Sunday Scripture
As more and more stories of tragic events that Helene brought to the North Carolina mountains unfold, I find myself grieving in a sense.
I don’t personally know anyone who was impacted, but I mourn for those who lost so much.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. Psalm 23:4, ESV
Inspiring Ideas and Fun Finds
This goat cheese appetizer spread with figs looks so delicious and would be great to serve at holiday gatherings.
This vintage lemon painting would make the perfect kitchen art for so many styles of decor. It is quite affordable, too!
Now this is a fall centerpiece. I love how Our Hopeful Home integrated this chinoiserie into her fall table. It’s so pretty!
These preserved boxwood topiaries look so realistic. I love that using boxwood can be done in every season of the year.
Just had to share this gorgeous kitchen. I am in love with these orange ginger jars and now I feel like I need a few!
I don’t think using the sideboard is pretentious at all. I would feel “cared for and worth it” if I came to your meeting. Add a scripture verse and make it even more meaningful. Then your guests will be twice fed. 😇
I vote for the sideboard also. So nice to feel like a guest! Love the idea of adding a scripture verse!
I think the sideboard sounds perfect-I would feel like someone actually took time to think about serving instead of just putting something together at the last moment and putting it on the kitchen counter.
