Thanksgiving Inspiration for You

We always have Thanksgiving at a local place nearby where we are able to sit together at a table for 16.
  During the holiday season we do have smaller gatherings here in our home, so I always gather table inspirations.

 Since Barb was having a party I thought I'd post and share them with Ya'll..
 I really like this table with fruit and cheese.  Add some crackers and sparkly wine and Viola:)  
 I also think the addition of a non traditional color used adds to the great appearance .

  Easy to embellish candles.. So many of the store have leaves made from many different materials to use.

 This table setting is simple and elegant and such a feast for the eyes.. 

 This would be my choice becuase I love the grapes combines with the hershey chocolate colored candles.

  If anyone has any left over tiny pumpkins, this would be a great use for them..  so sweet and welcoming for the family and folks who may be joining you.

please go visit Barb and the other great bloggers participating in this party and as always, thank you so much for visiting me.

Pumpkins, Piggies and Pinecones

 I guess when I said in the last post , that it was All the Fall I was doing,  I fibbed..  It wasnt intentional , truly it wasnt...
 Ya see, today is the yearly  Barbeque Festival in Lexington NC , so for months, there have been piggies of every size shape and color everywhere I shop..

  While choosing my new living room sofa :: which I will be showing as soon as my pillows are made, I spied a Mama Pig and her lil piglet and just had to have the set..
  The next day I was out getting the yard ready for the colder months ahead and picked up some pinecones..

All over blogland folks have been making sweater pumpkins.. well, I had a huge sweater that got its fringe all tangled when washed,  stuffing,  embroidery thread and twine..  I took having all those elements on hand as a sign that I should make use of the now , unwearable sweater and so I did..  In order for mine to be just a little different and more ME I added bows...       Around here if ya stand still too long, I will spray paint you or put a bow on ya  , sometimes Both.  giggle

 Thats how this vignette came together-- Pumkpins,, Piggies, Pinecones AND a Prayer Plant.  May as well put all my P's together..  I love how they look and I hope you will too..

 I want to Thank all those who have made these sweater style pumpkins and for all the amazing tutorials I found online..  Without your experience and expertise I wouldnt have know where to begin and end.. so Many Thanks to all you generous folks.... I hope I " did ya proud " as we say in the south..

All the Fall I'm Doing

 I'm not sure why I cant get into the HUGE Fall,multiple displays this year.  Maybe its because I've been looking at them since the end of July~!  Here in blogland-all over the store- magazines-Everywhere.. 
No offence meant by that statement, just the Facts Mam' , just the Facts..lol

 I'll leave this display out a couple of weeks and then put it and all the rest of the fall decor containers away.
 The weather here in NC is wonderful..  Cool mornings and pleasant temps by evening..  Leaves are starting to fall and I notice the grass isnt growing very fast, even though we've had lots and lots of rain.

  and now- onnnnnnnnnnn with the show:)

I always like to see what things look like if life was done in black and white:)

The lantern you see in the photo was all Black but then I saw the white with black tops somewhere and just Had to make mine look as close to those as possible.      Black they were 16.00 each-- the white with black top lanterns I saw were half the size and 68.00 each  YIKES.. So for about 80 cents worth of valspar spray paint I got what I wanted and I am tickled with them.. oh yea- I did  2  but just one showing in this scape.

and a Fall Tag for anyone who'd like to use it..

As always ,  thanks for visiting me.  I do love having Ya'll here and enjoy reading your comments.
