The Table Is Set

Finished all my baking today, I made 3 homemade pies from scratch and date nut bread, I love being in the kitchen during the holidays and I love to bake.

 

Finished setting my simple table.

 

 

 

 

I used a yellow tablecloth I picked up at the Goodwill, it is in perfect condition.

Dishes are a set I stole purchased from an antique shop in Upland on a little outing with my blog buddies. 

 My centerpiece is just a simple artificial arrangement

 I don't have a runner so I used 3 placemats that I picked up at Kohl's with my Kohl's cash and they were 60% off.



I am pretty happy with my table setting

 

 

Well tomorrow there will be plenty of food to prepare for my family

Served with love

 Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.......

 

 

With Love,

A Little More Fall Decor

Spent today cleaning the house and tweaking my décor to fit my liking. I had forgotten about these colorful figurines I purchased at the Goodwill over the summer.

 

 

 

 

Pilgrims and

 

 

 

Indians

 everyone is welcome at the table

Here is my little red chair adorned with a Harvest welcome. I will share my Thanksgiving table with you all tomorrow.

 

 

Blessings,

 

Debbie

Happy Harvest

Fall is (finally) in the air......

 

 

 

 

Here in Southern California its just a hint but the nights cool off and mornings have that little chill.......definitely my favorite time of the year.

 

 

 

 

I spent the day moving things around, putting up my fall décor and all around "playing house".....

 

 

 

 This is my shabby chic dining room. Poked a little fall among the roses.

 

I think I like Thanksgiving decorating best

 

I just put a little here and there

 

 

 

My sideboard in the kitchen got some fall love too

 

 

Hope you are enjoying the chill in the air and anticipation of the holiday.

Smiles,

Unexpected Sunshine in my Mailbox

 

I was so excited to open my mailbox the other day and find a box from my friend Deb from

 Garage Sale Gal, she has been my blog friend for the past 6 years and to say she is a blessing is an under statement.

 

.

She hand-made the strawberry card, she makes some amazingly adorable cards, I cherish every one of them.

 

She knows me so well, I adore this little "bake" sign she made me. So vintage looking.

I love embroidered towels and doilies, this sweet dish towel will be such a lovely addition to my precious collection.

 

Cute hand decorated clothespin and some adorable recipe cards....love it Deb, thank you for making my heart smile!

The next day I received a box from my special friend Pam from Virginia Retro, she is so thoughtful. Blog friends really are special friends.

An apron, for me? Ohhhh yes, I love it!

 

 

She made this adorable little patriotic flower pot, oh so cute. Sorry for the pic quality, I'm not that good with the camera.

 

 

Thank you Pam for sending your love and thoughtfulness, it arrived at a much needed time!

 

Smiles and Gratitude,
