Our Texas hostess’ festive table for lunch. Love the napkins. #pompoms are always a good idea.

We’ve started our New Year as we ended the old, gathering friends around our table, last night to include collards and blackeyed peas for good luck. Wishing you yours good luck, good health, good travels, work, love, faith, hope, charity, and play in 2018. .
