Birthday Table for Megan

Hello Sweet Friends,

So did you get a lil rested up yesterday?  
Hope so, cause if you had a lot going
on bet you needed it.

I was so happy not to have anything I
actually had to do yesterday, even tho,
 I got up early. I did get my Thankful 
Thursday blog post finished, and up-
loaded some pics for 2 other upcoming
 posts, because they are still from Fall,
and trying to get them in before 
December, lol.  but that was fun work.
and later in the day hubby and I put up
the Christmas tree,  but haven't decorated
it yet, as I haven't brought out the Christ-
mas decorations yet, cause don't want to
tear the house all up until after Dee goes
home on Monday, and it will give me 
something to look forward to..................

after she goes..........so glad she will be
back today and get to stay until Monday.
So we will get a lil one on one time with
her hopefully.

We watched our first Christmas movie
last night and hubby was sweet and
 ran out and got us some eggnog....yum!
That is a family tradition for us when
we start our Christmas decorating,
that and Christmas music........


Am showing you another Birthday
 table today, but it could just be a Fall 
table, as well.  Did this table for my 
daughter-in-love.

Since we celebrated her birthday the

 night before Thanksgiving, and we are 

not into a lot of stress,  I used paper

goods again.  I had these plates and

leaf napkins leftover from Dee and

Jerry's wedding reception 4 yrs. ago,

and the pumpkin napkins leftover

from last Fall, so thought they made

a nice combo.

 Used this silverware because it matches the

 flowers on the napkins. and the white table-

cloth to give it a bit of elegance, and so it

didn't seem quite so Fallish.

moved our bench to the opposite side of

the table since we are the only ones who

get to sit on it, and also to make more

room for another chair since their are

7 adults this time rather than 5.

Two Overviews

 This tray with the white pumpkins did

 reside on my coffee table, so I just 

changed it up just a little to use as the

 centerpiece on her table.

 Seems like all my tables this year have had

pumpkins, leaves and candle light.

Like I have said before I like to use real

 silverware and glasses, rather than plastic, 

as it looks a bit nicer, and you never have to

 worry about breakage or leaks like you do

 with plastic ware and plastic cups.

These are Dixie living ware plates we got 

at Sam's over 4 yrs. ago and they are very

 sturdy, and  you will probably see them 

again sometime as I still have a ton of

them leftover.

A cocktail size napkins tucks

perfectly into the glasses.  Love
these glasses they were a gift
from Dee and Jerry for Christmas
some years back, when I got my
shabby chic dishes.  They are a
beautiful compliment to them.

 Took out an oak candlestick and 

replaced it with the cloth pumpkin 

and then added the cream ceramic

 pear on top.  A find some years 

back from Target.

Clear candle holders with an assortment 

of  beans.   Love the look............

The tray already had gold mercury glass

 candle cups that were purchased for

 Dee and Jerry's reception as well. I think
they look so elegant and I use them well 
every Fall and sometimes at Christmas
or New Years.

With the lights out

Always blessed by your visits,
and hope you will take the time
to say hello.

Have a Great Weekend
and
Keep your light shining brightly,

Love, Hugs, and
the last of November Blessings,
Nellie
