Southern Thanksgiving Preview

Its’ a Thanksgiving preview for Tablescape Thursday!

So, I got everthing out and went for a preview of the Thanksgiving table. Why do a preview? This is a good chance to make sure you have everything. All the butter knives all the salad plates, napkins, candles. I did find a couple of things that I need to check on. I will need more candles and I need to do a little more ironing on the napkins. I also went ahead and got out serving pieces to make sure they are all clean and ready to go.

Looks good so far. I may turn up the lights a little or add more candles.

I just love the look of crystal sparkling in the candlelight.

I can’t wait for all the family to arrive. I love making things look nice for them. Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday.

As I was running errands today, I ran into so many friends who are struggling during this recession. I am so grateful for friends and my prayer is that we all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and can have just a little bit of time to forget our troubles and be thankful for our blessings, however smal they may seem. I’ll have to say, my heart is breaking over so many people who are just really experiencing tough times. If it is you that is experiencing a tough time, please know that I care and am praying for our nation and for everyone who is facing trying times.

Have a great Tablescape Thursday and check out everyone who has made something beautiful today!

    At this time it appears like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

    May I simply just say what a relief to find somebody who truly understands what they are talking about online. You definitely understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people should check this out and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular given that you definitely have the gift.

    Can I simply say what a comfort to uncover somebody who truly knows what they are discussing online. You actually understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. A lot more people really need to look at this and understand this side of the story. It’s surprising you are not more popular since you definitely have the gift.
