Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and friends. With other family obligations, my immediate family can’t always get together on Thanksgiving Day anyway, so it will be just as well that we don’t have to travel and just enjoy the day in our own home.
So, I got out the white china and decided to set a pretty table. 
We don’t often use our diningroom, so it’s fun to play around with the place settings and linens. I hardly ever set a formal table, but I had fun with it.
I just used what I had and this is the first time I’ve used all of this together. After putting the table together, I realized that at least half of these things came from yardsales (no surprise there). This white china with a simple gold band was found at Target a few years ago (el-cheapo) and I have a set of 8. The placemats were picked up this summer at a yardsale (I think I paid $1 for all of them!). They are woven wicker-like and I love that they are round. They fit my round table so much better than the rectangular ones do.
Even the faux pears were a yardsale find.
As well as this pretty lace square runner in the middle of the table and the salad tongs, both yardsale finds.
This will be our first time using the yardsale silverplate flatware I found this summer too. $10 for the whole bunch. I polished it up with my Wright’s Silvercreme and it is beautiful. 
I moved the bittersweet and glass vase in from the livingroom along with the wooden candlesticks (vase & candlesticks also a yardsale find). Simple and elegant. I only had 4 of the plaid napkins, so mixed in 2 of the green.
(Yay, I did some research on the problem of enlarging the pics on Blogger & found out the solution from a message board. If anyone wants to know, just ask & I’ll share). I was so used to having nice large pics, but of course they changed some code & messed it up. Now I have the answer & big pics again!)Here’s what I’m cooking this year:
*Roast Turkey
*Beef on the smoker
*Sweet Potato casserole
*Cornbread dressing (my mama told me how to make hers, this is my first time!)
*Tossed salad with cranberries & feta
*Cranberry congealed salad
*Green beans with feta and basil
*Mrs. Shubert’s rolls
*Coconut egg custard pie
*Pecan Pie (both pies from Publix, I know my limitations!)
Happy Thanksgiving, ya’ll! I’ll take a couple of days off, but will be back this weekend! Enjoy this time with your families. I’m looking forward to getting those Christmas decorations out very soon.
