I truly appreciate your support. You have to be sure, your Thanksgiving table setting looks beautiful - love the color palette. Perhaps, because I am all about tradition at Thanksgiving. And speaking about this celebration, I have to admit I am pretty happy with the fact that here in Canada, Thanksgiving day comes early, and gives us time to really enjoy the decoration. How wonderful that you met Jennifer Rizzo; now I am convinced I have to get her book :) <br /><br />Wishing you a meaningful Thanksgiving celebration!

I'm so happy your pumpkins arrived in time for Thanksgiving. They look so pretty on your table! I love Pier 1 too and will share at tomorrows party some new copper mugs I purchased there. You have done a wonderful job decorating with your cast on, just think what you'll do after the doctor removes it. You have inspired us all!! I'll have to buy Jennifer Rizzo's new book. It looks like it has so many creative ideas for the holidays, can't wait! How exciting to have met her!! Your mantel looks so pretty too! <br />Hugs, JodyStan and Jody Gabarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087334109855740295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-89687527434552059252014-11-19T17:07:27.946-06:002014-11-19T17:07:27.946-06:00Blondie, I almost missed this post.

Your table is going to be quite lovely and I love your mantle too.<br />And how fun to meet the blogger/author. Sounds like you and Al had a fun day out. We went to a movie last Sat. nite and that's about it for us.<br />I started decorating for Christmas very slowly. We have the snow and so I figured why not. I am trying to get a Christmas list planned but so far I haven't come up with much. Oh I would love to go to Galena again at Christmas. We need a winter plan. Say hi to Al and I am sure hoping your hand is healing well.<br />Hugs friend,<br />Cindy<br />p.s. When is the new grandbaby due again?

But, I can see that you're already on it, despite being 'short-handed', managing to create such autumn ambiance with your pretty tablescape and fireplace mantel. How lovely that both vignettes are accented with blogging buddies' beautiful creations!<br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!<br /><br />xx<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-16097150829061129592014-11-19T00:06:51.924-06:002014-11-19T00:06:51.924-06:00Oh--so glad the cast will come off before Thanksgi...Oh--so glad the cast will come off before Thanksgiving week arrives!<br />Your table looked lovely.

Oh well---I dread just any doctor visit, it seems. :( Will just be filling out forms and answering questions tomorrow, I'm sure!

They said that high-fired china doesn't chip, but low-fired china does. It is very difficult to sell any of the vintage porcelain china sets in the shop, but they don't chip, that is for sure. I think your pine (?) fireplace mantel is wonderful and my favorite thing is the window with the leaves on it. It looks like the leaves are whipping by in the wind. When I woke up this morning, in was 10 degrees in Richmond, IL.
