It's the time of year that is cold and  dreary.  we got a little snow that covered my world for just a day. It was disappointing to see the dirty drab scene. I guess mother nature is trying to tell us something.  I only put up my fiber optics tree this year as I am not up to doing as much. You aren't supposed to decorate them but made stars from take out boxes and used light thread to hang them carefully.  So pretty at night but couldn't get a good picture of them.Miss mouse is standing at the door to greet you.  She has competition this year  with miss prissy.

This year we give a special thanks for our forefathers who made America great.  We also must pray that our government will make the right decisions to protect those rights.  We should pray that our world can live in harmony and have the same freedoms as our great nation has maintained for all these years.  Please bring our boys back  and let the country's form  their own governments to bring the people the kinda of life that we enjoy.Thanksgiving is a time when families gather together and  remember the reason for the holiday some coming from great distance and praying together eating great food and having a happy time.

pre thanksgiving

Remember this week is veteran's day and pray for those past and present who fought to save our freedom.

Dinner pre Thanksgiving table.  I wanted to be a little bit fall and a little bit of the coming Holiday. It is over so quick I would like to extend it a little.  Some of you will have out of town guests. I just wanted to make it simple but nice.  A little bit of whimsy,rustic with the burlap and sprig orbs etc. Love the tall candle holders with the leaves. and lacy reed place mats. the orange candles I won't light as I don't trust them. The tablecloth is more peachy then orange which makes it more subdued. I will be going to my family for Thanksgiving but will still do a Thanksgiving table minus food lol.Don't forget to gives thanks and prayers to our men and women still fighting for freedom for all.

Just got the cute basket to hold the candles and orbs.  The salt and pepper shakers are acorns from the dollar tree.

I am using some white plates again.  so versatile.  Green tableware gives a little more color.The little box for goodies is a toilet paper roll. I printed out the covering and the pumpkin and tied it from ravelings from the burlap.The place cards were a print out too. Don.t remember the name of creator.

So cute and so easy to make. I will fill with candy corn.

I lucked out the cute chickens 50 cents each. That is a real oak leaf.  They will stay for years and can use them over and over again if you handle them carefully.

Who could resist this cute chick? Not me 

These I guess are coasters with mosaic tile middle.1.00 for six whoopee

Table setting.

Double napkin

Amber cordial and goblet with burlap bow.

Amber salad plate

the dinner plate has a raised design that doesn't show well

She looks right at home on a fall table

Menu maybe could change my mind.  Just a simple any day meal. I love anything with chicken. 

Almost forgot my fake cornucopia  Made from printed paper and fake gourds wrapped with burlap ravelings. Hope you all have a happy holiday coming fast.

I changed the shades on chandy Have a nice holiday

I added no sew lace on burlap runner

Fall is here .  The nights are getting chilly. I was inspired by my white and blue porcelain pumpkin to have a white and blue tablescape.  I went with all white dishes which are hard to photo with my cannon digital camera.  I just got the place mats and was anxious to see how they would work.  The colors are blue pinks and yellow. So far so good. The napkins blue with fringe and napkin  rings with lace and blue ribbon came next. I searched the house for anything that would make for an interesting tablescape.  How about my white rooster.  He didn't expect to be included. Tore a floral bouquet apart for my blue and white center piece.  All in all I am happy with it
