Happy Thanksgiving - Show and Tell Friday


 



Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I hope all my American friends had a great one!



This week I'm sharing my Thanksgiving table.  

































This year I used a burlap runner and I really like how it adds a little rustic charm to a elegant table setting! 





I found this large silver-plated tray at an estate sale last week for $5.00!  I polished it up and it now

Christmas Tree 2015 - Show and Tell Friday


















Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! 



I usually decorate for Christmas the weekend after Thanksgiving but this year I couldn't wait to get my tree up! 




























I received an email recently that Tree Classics wanted to send me an artificial Christmas Tree!  I have been wanting an artificial tree for a few years now for many reasons.

I'm tired of the mess that

Autumn Mantel - Show and Tell Friday


 



Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I'm
back!  



It's been over 3 months since my ex-husband was diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer and moved in with my daughter and I.  Over 3 months is
good...one doctor told him he only had about 6 weeks to live. The other
doctors said it's hard to say but at this point, it's weeks-months.  We
are taking it one day at a time.  He's doing okay now but

Thanksgiving/Fall Decor...

This year is zooming by, I can't believe we are already headed into the holiday season!
Before you know it, we will be decorating for Christmas.  
I love Christmas, but I hate to skip by Thanksgiving.
We took our Halloween decorations down yesterday.  
I had everyone in our family tell me five things they are thankful for... 
We hung them in our kitchen on this board.  
It's so fun to switch out pictures and quotes for different holidays.
I also loved hearing my kids' responses...my four year old couldn't stop listing things once she got started. 
 I love how she is thankful for unicorns, mermaids & butterflies!
This little corner is one of my favorite spots in the kitchen.
Here is our table...
I moved my lanterns that are usually on my fireplace to the table...
 Then I placed these little turkeys inside.
It's a fun change.
 This is the tray on our island...
Here is my view from the kitchen...
The family room...
 I kept my fireplace really simple, but I love it!
 Happy Thanksgiving!
