Happy Thanksgiving


Happy Thanksgiving America! 



The table is just about set, and at the last minute I'll add several more chairs to the table. This year we'll have 19 for dinner. I love every minute of hosting Thanksgiving dinner!


Soon we will have a belly full of turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie!Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!


"To make a glorious day complete,

To make each hour full and sweet,


To thank the Lord for life worth living--


That is the real and true Thanksgiving."
~ Abigail Falk

    Debbie, I started my blog for the same reason, but after becoming enthralled by Tablescape Thursday, had to take it public! Thank you for sharing your beautiful table -- those linens are just stunning, and the centerpiece is magnificent! I know all your guests feel blessed to be around your table!

    I knew it would be eye candy to open this page...gorgeous table, Debbie.
    I remember when a few of us bought those Pinzon salad plates a few years back...I ended up giving mine as a swap gift, wish I had kept them!
    A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

    I saw your Adirondack tablescape from your previous post. Are you in the Adirondack mountains? We live in the foothills and go up often (my sister has a camp there!)

    Your table is lovely and 19 for dinner?!?!?! That is a wonderful and loving task (we are only 4!)

    I trust your Thanksgiving was wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
