Fancy Friday ~ Lunch Boxes

By Kristin on September 9, 2011 5 Comments

I remember my Holly Hobbie lunch box. I carried it to school with pride. Every day at lunch, I'd open up my lunch box, with anticipation. Inside I'd usually find a wrapped up bologna sandwich on Wonder Bread with French's mustard. There would probably also be a bruised, red delicious apple, three cookies and a thermos full of juice. It was a special day when my mom had tucked in a note with one of her hand drawn cartoons, funny poems or if she put green grapes in my lunch, instead of the apple. I don't remember ever … [Read more...]

Plush Pumpkins ~ Velvet Pumpkins

By Chris Ann on September 4, 2011 13 Comments

A bounty of these beauties will be perfect for decorating this fall season. Last year I found these plush velvet pumpkins and little did I know that Kristin and I would be adding them to our shop. I found them piled high in a quaint little florist shop. I soon discovered they were made right here in Minnesota! After meeting the owner and artist Monya Kampa, who created these original Plush Pumpkins, we knew not only we found the first item to put in our shop, but also an inspiring and artistic new friend!

Fancy Friday ~ Travel, Experience & Journey

Two weeks ago, we had so much fun having guests at our table for Fancy Friday, we decided to invite a few more to join us today. LIFE here at our table is about travel, experiences, our friendship journey and projects focused on giving back. We invited our guests to share a bit of their LIFE and how it relates to their journey. Some of these guests happen to blog with a friend, partner or family member and in all honesty, we just wanted a peek into what makes their lives tick. We asked our guests these questions: 1. … [Read more...]

Kristin's brother snapped this picture. It looks like a dream to us! Do you know where this is? Can you guess? It's one of the next adventures we dream about having!

This week's Fancy Friday is on our category "Table". "Table" is all about the people we want to have at our table, who are good storytellers or who would be a good candidate to interview. We thought it would be fun to invite a few people to our virtual table today and ask them a few questions. These were our questions: 1.) What's your favorite food? 2.) What are you passionate about? 3.) What makes for good conversation? 4.) Who would you like to have join you at your table? Robin ~ A Chow Life 1) That is a hard one! … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday Favorite Food Blogs To FEAST On

By Chris Ann on August 12, 2011 5 Comments

Putting together a beautiful table is one our favorite things to do. We think gathering at the table is a beautiful event, worthy of some extra attention to details, whether it is a simple salad outdoors... or candle-lit dining at the table, taking time to enjoy some food and conversation is one of life's best moments to savor. That's why FEAST is such a big theme here at LoveFeast Table. A beautiful TABLE would not be as memorable without delicious food to gather around. This Fancy Friday is all about the food … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday ~ Love Feast Table Life

By Kristin on July 29, 2011 4 Comments

For a while now, we have been hosting a Friday meme called Fancy Friday. Every Friday we share a bit of the images of travels, foods, sights, colors, textures and things around us that inspire us. We call those special things “fancy”. Mostly, because they make us feel happy. Fancy can be as simple as a handful of sharpened color pencils or as majestic as a view of an Indian Temple, the colors of a bowl of mixed berries, or herbs sprouting out of a pot. If it is what motivates your day, leads your dream, whispers inspiration, … [Read more...]
