Giving Thanks

As Thanksgiving draws near, we have so many blessing on our minds. So many people have been affected by superstorm "Sandy" and lost so much. It might be lives, homes and belongings. Yet even in times of tragedy, we pull together and help each other.

As we recover from these loses, we must take time for Giving Thanks.

Giving Thanks

for being alive.

Giving Thanks for the harvest.

Giving Thanks the food on our tables.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I hope you are thinking about Giving Thanks.

Thanks for stopping by and sending blessings all of those in need - Judy

The Colors of Fall

I hope you have been enjoying the colors of Fall. The yellows, reds, oranges, and green have been so vibrant in my area. Many of these leaves have fallen so my tablescape today reflects these wonderful colors; for most of us, they are such a welcome and so relaxing to look at. When those breezy days of Fall put a chill in the air, it's a bowl of soup that warm the body. A favorite Fall soup tureen serves as my centerpiece. Take a look:

Do you have a favorite soup to serve in your tureen?

My favorite soup is always tomato basil.

To accent my tureen, I am using an assembly of fall colors for my stack of dishes.

Brown plates with two sizes of Fall leaf plates, all sitting on yellow placemats.

A smaller yellow leaf accent plate along with beige cloth napkins and brown wooden napkin rings bring more fall colors to the table.

Amber stemmed goblets bring another fall color.

Elevating the tureen allows for additional fall elements to be added beneath. Pumpkins, gourds, berries, and leaves. All part of the fall harvest and landscape.
