THANKSGIVING AND MORE!

Well, Hello again!  Thanks to all of you who asked if "I was still here" and I have to say, "yes" I am but it has been a rough past 3 months.  I won't go into detail but lets just say, "There was a lot of pain involved" but I am on the mend again!"  THANKFUL!  

So I thought I would show you a few pictures of my Thanksgiving decor before I take it down tomorrow!  LOL  

Welcome to my home...

Before you enter see the little Turkey near the center of the Potting Bench below?  Well, he was purchased at the PX (they called them that then) at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. way back in 1951, my first married Thanksgiving and the branches, etc are the originals.  Every year I plan to change them out for something more current, but somehow that just doesn't seem to be the thing to do

Front entry table and my first piece of REAL artwork done by an artist right here in Sun City.

Here is that Hutch again...do you love dishes the way I do???  I have several sets "just for show" on my hutch.  Love to change them out with the seasons.

A kind, sweet neighbor was going through her Fall decorations and decided she couldn't use these darling bears so SHE GAVE THEM TO ME!  Do I have great neighbors or what!

This is a checkered runner, over a burlap runner.  The "Cake Stand" was my Grandmothers and the glass candle holders are new, from Target.  The Pumpkin is from Walmart and the candles go on and off by themselves!  Love that!

My collection of Thanksgiving Byer's Choice Carolers.  I actually saw them being made at their Factory in PA.  I have several for other Holidays and always love to display them.

Here's a Craft Show find this year...it is so cute when lit.

And now, the reason I am so very THANKFUL this holiday season is my sweet, wonderful Great Grand Baby, Colin.  I saw him in October when I traveled to MN. when he was 4 months old.  What do you think?  Cute, eh?
