~~~Sunday Breakfast~~~

 This morning I decided to make us a good breakfast to get us ready for the day. I have not cooked bacon for breakfast in AGES!!! But I sae a commercal last night and that's all I could think of. So, I got it out of the freezer last night so it would be ready to cook this morning. OMGoodness, this breakfast was delicious! I made myself a mug of Hot chocolate. I don't drink coffee, never have. I just don't like the taste, I know, I am weird:) I love my snowman mug, it is large and keeps my chocolate hot! And right now I am using these snowman placemats. They are plastic but wipe up easily when "someone" i know is a litlle sloppy, just sayin:)
 Here is my scrambled eggs and bacon and....
 my English muffin with strawberry preserves. Oh honey!


 Just for fun I took this shot of one of my snowmen, with the sun shining on him for ya! You know how I love my shadow shots:)
That's all for today, I am now going to put the tree up. It is a 3-4 hour process so I have to get MOVING!!! Bye!!!!

~~~Turkeys at the Table and in the Dining Room!!!~~~

 I thought I'd better show you my turkeys since all this is getting packed away and Christmas is beginning! My daughter is having Thanksgiving so that is why I am getting an early start. Usually I don't start Christmas decorating til the Friday after Thanksgiving, but this year I am on a neighborhood house tour so wanted to get an early start! BUT, I also wanted to set a table for us til Thanksgiving and also show you the dining room. .I have this transitional runner that has pumpkins AND turkeys on it. Perfect for right now. I love the soft color of it too. I just used my Mr. Tom for my centerpiece, raised on a pedestal and surrounded by leaves and berries. Real squash and large acorns are scattered along the runner too. My ceramic pumpkins sit on the tiny pedestals from CTS.

  Just a simple place setting. The napkin really pulls out the green in the plate.
 I am using my brown bamboo flatware.

 Gorgeous, sunny morning greets us today.


 I love the beautiful detail on Mr. Tom


 Here are a few nighttime shots.



 And here is the dining room. It will chnge SOON, so I thought I'd better include it in this post. I kept my pumpkin topiary and used Mr. Tom along with it for the centerpiece.
 Brown pillar holders hold my leaf embossed candles and I used two candle rings: the greens and pumpkin ones too. It all sits on my leaf runner and the hutch is dressed with leaf plates.
 I love this topiary.
 I think he looks regal wherever he sits!

 2 sugared pumpkins complete the setting.

 I hope you all have a blessed Thanskgiving. We will, as our son is coming up from Florida so all of the (immediate) family will be together. That is a true blessing. I wish Joe's brother and sister and spouses could be here too.

~~~Pumpkin Table for 2!!!~~~

 I set a table for Joe and I using my pumpkin runner and matching placemats.  I didn't do a big stack of dishes, just an orange ruffled dinner plate and my pumpkin and gourds salad from Walmart last year.
 I filled my lantern with real and faux mini pumpkins and gourds and a few acorns.


 I even put our pumpkin placecard holders out, not that we need them:)
 Brown/amber bubble glasses for our beverage.


 I found these cute, tiny pedestals at CTS, 2 for $3.00!!! Love them!!
 The runner and placemats have a black background with pumpkins and vines.
 I tucked our forks into a napkin done in a ..
 layered fold.
 I used my green flatware again, to bring out the green of the vine.
 This is my favorite faux pumpkin, love the long stem.
 I have had these pumpkin candle holders for many years.

The bittersweet garland is woven along the runner.

 S and P in a little wagon (from Kirklands several years ago).

 This was our dinner the other night: gravy for our
 chicken cutlets.
 Twice Baked potato casserole
 broccoli

 Let's light the candles!






Thanks for your visit, I so appreciate you all. I am linking to:
