It's Almost Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow, Glitterinas.

My list of things to be thankful for 

grows longer each year!

Thank you, Lord, for all the blessings 

you pour out on me every day!

I hope you have safely arrived at your destination, if you are traveling.

I hope you have completed all your 

grocery store runs, if you are hosting and cooking!

We are having Thanksgiving dinner here 

at Five Gables Farm tomorrow evening.

My husband and I tell each other 

often that Thanksgiving dinner is 

our favorite meal of the year!

It's finally happening tomorrow.....

.....all the things I have to do are getting checked off 

my master list.

The foods to prepare on today's list 

were.....

the dressing and

the green bean casserole.

Check.....and check!

The desserts are all baked and 

the other sides are all ready to go 

tomorrow.  The turkey roasts are thawed 

and just hanging out in the fridge.

When I finished all the work....it was time for 

the fun!

I gathered up all the dishes I wanted to use to set the 

table....

decided how to fold the napkins....

chose the candles....

and brought the name cards from 

my craft desk.

Youngest daughter is home and was a good 

assistant decorator for this table.

We stacked these plates on the 

brown chargers.....

....isn't he a handsome guy?

 Next, we added these leaf salad plates....

....and silver

....and napkins

....and crystal.

These pretty glasses were gifted to me by a 

Bunco Friend! 

They were her Mother's.

I know I'll enjoy using them again and again!

Thank you, again, Dana.....

you are a sweetie for thinking of me.

On top of each napkin we placed one of my 

small, vintage molds and filled each one 

with some pumpkin candies.

I think our youngest grand~darling will help anyone that needs 

help eating their pumpkins.....he's very helpful that way!

We are not having a fish course, but I'm using some of 

my bone dishes anyway.

They'll be serving as butter/bread plates for our 

dinner tomorrow.

The grands have their own Thanksgiving 

plates....

Before I know it, they'll be too old to eat on these 

cute dishes any longer.

My burlap runner was crowding the two place settings 

on the end of the table.....

.....so I tucked a little bit of the runner 

underneath itself.....

....and everything fits so much neater!

I couldn't resist giving the candles a test light!

Pretty, huh?

Last but not least, the name cards....

well, they're really not cards....but 

they do have our names on them.

I think they'll be a fun surprise 

for everyone!

Have a lovely evening, Glitterinas!
