Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day brought 16 of us around our table yesterday. After a glorious fall day on Sunday, we had wind, rain and cool weather as everyone arrived.

We have much to be thankful for.


Today we can enjoy the leftover turkey, and of course, a piece of apple pie.


This autumn our hydrangeas have been beautiful, turning a prettier pink than usual. I seeded some Osaka ornamental cabbages, and they too have been very pretty. I love the delicate markings on the leaf edges.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend

Happy Thanksgiving Week to you! Looks like a great celebration. Your table looked wonderful with those cabbages. Leftovers are one of the best things about Thanksgiving dinner. We're still enjoying ours!

Thanksgiving is such a special occasion and remembrance bringing families and friends to gather around the table and share a beautiful feast. Your centrepiece looked very special and that turkey..yum. We only have turkey once a year and that is at Christmas time.

Thank you for your kind visit. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Blessings,
Aida

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
