Thanksgiving Tablescape

Of all the dishes I own, these are by far my most favorite.

I love them & wish I had at least 8 more place settings.

Waiting for tea & pumpkin pie.

Of course the Chandelier needed decor too.

A NEW TEA DISCOVERY

NOVUS(www.novustea.com) I discovered this tea at dinner on Saturday. It is the Kenilworth Ceylon. I kept the tea package so I could look it up. The tea was very smooth, great flavor and packed whole leaf in a sachet. I found the site and plan to order some. If you know where it might be sold on the shelf, please let me know.

"HELLO CUPCAKE"

No, it's not a greeting of affection. It's the name of this great new cupcake cookbook I found at Michael's.

Aren't these the cutest things.

This one is spagetti & meatball cupcakes- they really look like it too, but it's all in the frosting! Incredible. You have got to see this book if you love to bake or not!

This was my first try. I ususally HATE making cupcakes, but these make me want to bake some every day!

There are so many options and fun things in this book and they are all made with EASY ingredients. Candies, frostings, cookies. Nothing complicated at all.
I hope you rush out to find this one. I LOVE IT!!!

MYSTERY SOLVED!

Thanks to all who participated in trying to help with what this is. And thanks to Angela of Tea With Friends I now know!

It's a sachet holder! I went to the site she gave, found some old ribbon, a sweet sented soap bar & twa-laaaaa!

I LOVE it!!
If you look closely, there is even a place made to hang it (well at least I think that's what it's for.) So, THANK you Angela- well done!

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VETERANS!

You are thanked beyond words. You are hero's beyond hero's. You are appreciated more than you know.

And for those still serving I leave you this:

Isaiah 35:4

Say to them that are afraid, Be strong, fear not: behold your God will come with vengeance, even with recompense; He will come and save you.

God Bless you ALL! And God bless America!!
