A Table for Becky

One of my blogging buddies crossed over this past week. Becky Turner's blog is Random Musings of a Deco Lady. She fought a difficult battle with MDS (myelodysplacia) all the time with a positve attitude. She shared her battle, family events, recipes and tablescapes.  She always took the time to explain the history of the theme of the tablescape or recipe.

She is one of two people that I know of that have battled MDS.  My BFF's husband crossed over in March of this year.  I guess that is why I am taking Ms. Becky's passing with a very heavy heart.

She was my first follower on my blog. She encouraged me to continue and to join a message board of HLC collectors. Her favorite dishes were Harlequin in blue. My dishes are Fiesta by the same maker. This is my tribute to Ms. Becky.




Art Deco was a favorite of Becky's. This hostess bowl has that art deco feel.

  2. lovely, Monica... Becky loved those hostess bowls (despite the fact that HLC never did make one in black, like she wanted...!) and I know she'd love your table!

  5. Oh, geez...I had no idea she had passed on. I am saddened yet joyful to have known her through our blogging experiences. It is so incredibly sweet of you to post this loving tribute in Becky's name. I think this is the first time I have visited your blog, Monica, and I think God just brought me here so that I, too, could celebrate the life of such a giving and strong woman. I wish you a peaceful weekend.
