Hello and welcome to Home Sweet Home! This is for all the Mothers out there who work so hard to raise their families. Take a break and step into my yard for a moment today. I have a funny story about this photo shoot today.
I have set my table up and every time I step outside I keep hearing this buzzing. Sounded like a lot of flies. I just ignored it and kept right on creating my table, working with the lighting, and getting the angles just right.
Just about when I am done with my table ( I had been out there around 30 minutes) a little honey bee lands on it and takes an interest in my roses. Then it dawns on me that the neighbor who raises bees had a hive of bees leave the nest last year and they took up residence in our hollow tree. So, the light bulb goes on and I look up and see the bees swarming.
They were flying wildly all around the tree and buzzing in and out of the space above my head. The buzzing was very loud. How did I not remember this? I'm way too focused on styling this table.
So, they have buzzed off now and very few bees are going in and out of the tree. No harm done. I am glad they appreciated my table and since they are now gone I will invite you over to a much quieter table.
Now I would like to highlight some of the posts that caught my eye last week at Home Sweet Home. So many great ideas!

Hello Sherry - cute story! I am glad they were more interested in your roses than you! I have come to love and to respect the bees that visit my garden - with caution ;)
Great features! I appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday and hosting!
Have a great weekend -

E' proprio una bella tavola di primavera al profumo di rose!Rosetta
Lovely table setting.. love all the colors and the pretty lemonade glasses! I like your beautiful rose tablecloth and how it matches with your gorgeous centerpiece.... I bet the bees were all enthralled by your pretty table:)Thanks for hosting!Hugs,Poppy
Thanks for hosting. The bees added to the outdoor table setting with roses made for a bit of adventure. I am a gardener and it is the season so I have been writing posts about yard cleanup, new garden beds, transplanting, creating. Its been great.
Thank you for hosting. The lemonade looked sooo good. Beautiful table. Not so sure about the bees though.
Lovely pictures and thank you for hosting.

Hi Sherry...
My friend, you certainly did set a lovely table for us today! Of course, your roses are beautiful but that gorgeous linen and lace tablecloth just stole me heart away! Perfection! I sooo enjoyed your beautiful photos too! Glad that the bees enjoyed your pretty table and no stings took place! Hehe! Thanks for hosting another Home Sweet Home party for us, dear friend!
Warmest wishes,

I would love to sit down and enjoy your garden. Looks so lovely! Thanks for having us all to your link party. Hope you'll stop by my place sometime too.
Thanks so much for hosting a and your table is just beautiful!
Sherry, your table is gorgeous. Love that beautiful table cloth. Thanks for hosting each week. ~ Sarah
Lovely table...and HOW brave are you around bees???!
What gorgeous roses...love the bee story
Isn't it funny how we get 'lost' in our designing?! I LOVE that tablecloth -- it is just beautiful! The whole table looks so inviting -- wish I could sit down and visit!
Wonderful features this week, Sherry! And thank goodness you survived setting up your lovely tablescape! You're a lot more brave than I am. I would have run for the hills. I've never been stung in all of 50 years and it would be my dumb luck that I was allergic to the little buggers. LOL
Thanks for hosting another fabulous Home Sweet Home! Have a happy and blessed weekend! ~Mary
What a gorgeous table you've set - bees would've sent me running! I'm not allergic, just scared!
Thanks so much for hosting, hope you have a great weekend.
Oh, Sherry! I am glad they were just happy to spend some time in your lovely garden rather than causing mischief! We had them building a hive inside our barbeque one time, a day after we had used it. I love this beautiful setting. I could really linger at this table, enjoying the view and the lemonade. Beautiful tablecloth. I am so glad I found you again and am joining in on your Home Sweet Home party. Thank you.
Your tablescape is so pretty. I adore your lovely white tablecloths. That is a very cute story about the bees. Thanks so much for hosting.
Your tablescape is beautiful, but you sound so calm about the bees! I probably would have gone running off inside and made my husband bring in the dishes! Bees scare me...not sure I'd want them for neighbors:)
Hi, Sherry!
Finished some projects, finally will link up!!!
Thanks again for hosting!!!
Hi Sherry, Thanks so much for linking up to Simple & Sweet Fridays. Always love to have you share your wonderful feature. It sounds like the bees came for a visit but they were probably in awe with your tablescape. Beautiful!! You're such a creative person. Thanks for stopping by. I linked up to your fun party. Have a great weekend.
