thanksgiving week

Here it is  Thanksgiving week. I have to work that day and will be celebrating on Wednesday instead. there is only going to be three of us nothing big or special.

I set this table in greens and browns and really kept it kind of simple



 I have three harvest boxes I love and raised them up on green and brown cake plates

added some velvet pumpkins and leaves and magnolia pods(my version of pinecones San Diego) 







dinner will be a small affair I won't be doing  the big turkey but just a little turkey roast with all the fixings

 I can't wait to start on my Christmas decor because I wait all year to decorate for this time of year. this year I have a slight problem it seems like my floors have to be re built in my apartment and I am waiting to see when and how long this will take.I don't want to start decorating only to take it all down to empty apt to do floors. What a mess this is going to be.
these little peppermint and candy canes became perfect little cupcake plates I made after seeing them on pinterest
to also add to my peppermint tablescape I will be making



Thrift store finds picked up these Debbie mumm plates four for $4.oo along with these red napkins  and a plate and perfect peppermint candles for my peppermint table at a local thrift store Christmas Bazaar I  scored with all this for 40 percent off aren't these Santa plates cute

Well Thanksgiving will be here  in a week then I know we will all be full speed ahead getting our crafting, decorating ,baking and blogging on for The Christmas Season. So I wish everyone a very happy and warm and loved Thanksgiving. May all of you be blessed with the times you spend with  family and loved ones. love Susie I will be joining Betwwen naps on the porch and lets scoop this week please enjoy your week drive safely if traveling and God bless you all

  1. hi Susie! I have those Debbie Mumm plates! I guess I've had them a long time if you found them in a thrift store! And those candy cupcake stands are fabulous, I've got to try making some! Your Thanksgiving table looks lovely, by the way, sorry I got carried away by the Christmas at the end! Small Thanksgivings are just as special as big ones, even if they aren't quite on the day of, enjoy~

  5. Hi Susie, I have to agree, those peppermint cupcake stands are to precious! I had seen a girl make big round pizza size plates out of the Starlite mints on YouTube but not the cupcake holders, they are so cute, I will have to make one before Christmas. I love green and brown together. Your table looks so pretty. The colors blend together beautifully. Love the Debbie Mum Plates, I have been collecting her holiday patterns (they are hard to find around here) for a while. They are so cute! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving..... Candy

    1. Hi Candy thank you for commenting the little candycane cupcake plates will appear in next weeks posts the problem I had with them was storing them I can't wrap in saran or foil wraps they just get to sticky so I have had to just leave them on my counter tops which I need for my Christmas decorating I don't know what to do with them after the post either I don't think they will hold up for next year.Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family I hope you have a great day. I have to work so am doing my turkey day today so I need to go make my pies.take care have a good week.
