81st Tablescape - Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.  A great Holiday for decorating - even better for Tablescapes....  As the first Turkey is baking in the oven and three loaves of chocolate, Amish Friendship Bread are cooling on the baking rack - I am posting my Thanksgiving Tablescape.....




Found these three pieces at Hospice Thrift Store last year - it has been on the table both years....and will continue to be a part of our Thanksgiving tablescape.



Can't help but love decorating for Thanksgiving... I mix/matched some salad plates.  These say "Count your blessings, each one"!


These are Royal Stafford, made in England.  Each a different scene....


No Thanksgiving tablescape is complete with out a set of Pilgrim salt/pepper shaker from Publix.  This set actually came from Goodwill - $2.06.

Gotta love these cute little turkey salt/pepper shakers.

These mums are from my garden - my husband purchased them for me our 1st Thanksgiving in the home, (three years ago).  They have bloomed every year beautifully, this year I had to cut them and make them a part of our table.

This is a door wreath I found at Goodwill, I place it on the buffet in a plate stand - a reminder  - In Everything - Give Thanks!

77th Tablescape - H A L L O W E E N--------------------------------

Had a great Halloween - and lots of fun dressing up,



seeing the boys, the grandkids,


My grandson, Mehdi, and Me!!!!
and even got a quick visit with my sister, Dawn and her hubby! 

And of course a Halloween Tablescape.....









These adorable salt and peper shakers are Fritz & Floyd - found them at Last Chance Thrift Store and with my 50% coupon they were only $2...


Got this cute ghost tree at Salvation Army for $.29....(brought it home on my motorcycle too).




Found this ornament stand at Hospice Thrift Store for $1 - It was a fun craft - I bought clear glass ornaments and acrylic paint from Michaels, then swirled the paint in the ornaments - simple.....(see this link for the entire blog entry).
