A nostalgic look back on our many Thanksgivings together.
Now, we are Thankful for Hubbies eye surgeries....it's amazing that a quick surgery and lots of drops, drives to the doctor and a month of recuperation can give you 20/20 sight after wearing glasses for over 70 years.
But, I can't help but think this will be our now 57th Thanksgiving...and how blessed we have enjoyed another Fall, our favorite season together.
Every season brings joy, trials, tribulations...and the season's move on.
There is calm and...
laughter,
and how she has GROWN...
We love FAMILY BAKING together!
and the bonds of old friends,
and the beauty of nature flourishing in your own backyard.
We still enjoy the preservation and joys of simple things.
Sun filled Fall days and family gatherings to give Thanks.
Sunshine on the porch, a fuzzy throw to cuddle in the evening.
Plants and flowers trying to survive the crazy temperatures.
Inside, I bring out the rusts, golds, naturals in our blue and white kitchen.
Kitchen scents fill the air as the cinnamon and pumpkin meld in sweet perfection. Vegetables are harvested from the garden and roasted for future enjoyment.
Heirloom family recipes are baked and the results savored and saved for holiday gifts.
Soups and Chili fills crockpots and warm our inners on chilly nights.
Simple biscuits are perfection when rolled and baked with homemade pumpkin butter.
Who can resist apple pumpkin muffins?
Our favorite platters are washed in anticipation of company coming.
Silver...shall I polish or not?
Heirlooms, loved by you or someone else take their places still proud and beautifutl.
Dusk comes early and lamps are lit through the dusky afternoon.
Throws and cushions fill our couches, and are welcomed on chilly nights.
Teapots hold warmth and welcoming to guests.
Favorite cups brim with steaming hot teas and ciders.
Last blooms grace the tea table.
Precious linens are brought from storage for use.
Quilts are washed and aired for cold weather cuddling.
Dried gourds and Hydrangeas grace our tables.
Family heirlooms find their way to the buffet.
Christmas pig is busy fattening up for the holidays.
Giving thanks for the Earth's bounty and beauty. We have loads of mini corn for decorating this year!
Simple bowls filled with Fall.
Woods are oiled and polished.
Nuts gathered by the Grand find their way here and there.
I put together florals with dried and faux. I love all of Fall's colors, muted or bright.
Once a gorgeous real pumpkin graced the buffet.
Maybe I will polish our heirloom brass this year and use on the table.
Thanksgiving is always the End of Fall in our home, and....
Christmas comes soon enough, and needs not to be rushed.
...the dead of Winter is just around the corner.
Snow and the Holidays will be here soon enough, don't you think?
I will post at the following Link Parties, I hope you visit them.

I do not endorse or receive any $$ for any products I may use. I enjoy showing how I use products,
but I do not receive any $$ from anywhere I shop.
However, the link to my BarberryLane Etsy shop is on the right hand side if you choose to visit for antiques, craft supplies, vintage, dolls, mini's, and more.
Thank you for your cooperation,
What a lovely bunch of memories and things to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!
