Thanksgiving Table And Fall around Seattle

Hello everybody how have you all been? This is going to be a fun post starting with this guy who came dressed up for Halloween at the stadium, I saw him walking by and asked if I can take my picture with him of course he said yes.He's wearing close to a $2000 dollar costume with ten dollar Keds sneakers on  priceless.

Anyway right before my trip my dearest friend Lisa from San Diego sent me these beautiful maroon and turquoise plates. I knew I wanted to use them for my Thanksgiving table and couldn't wait to put it together when I got home from Africa. I joined turquoise and maroon napkins, with amber glasses,with a turquoise and cream tablecloth.These dishes are just stunning and I am so glad to join them to my collection of dishes

The colors are so warm and welcoming I could use them in the Fall, in the summer depending on which kind of accents I want to add to them or any time or season. Today I 'm going for Fall theme and pulling the rich maroon out with napkin rings, pumpkins, leaves and filler in the jars and bottles




Here you can see the pattern up close .I used a maroon charger to set color against the creme tablecloth(it has a turquoise one underneath)


Mr Turkey has taken his rightful place at the head of the table


Such a pretty pattern with such a variety of color I can't wait to use this with a beachy theme.I was so angry at my friend for spending so much money on me but I sure do Love this set of dishes.I am so Blessed that I have a friend who cares enough about me to send something like this.

So I say to my dearest friend Lisa Thank you for this wonderful gift.I hope you enjoy my table. It was made in pure Love and filled with Thanks  and Joy.


Happy Thanksgiving to all of you I hope your day is filled with Love abundant, Joyful through out and Warm memories.

These are some pics of what Fall looks like around Seattle most are taken from my car cuz that's when I get to see it.

So hone in on the colors not car roofs Oops.

yellows and golds, reds and amber,oranges and gorgeous shades of green inter mixed.

The reds are just draw dropping stop you in your tracks stunning.

This is the view outside my living room window, I don't think I could ever get tired of seeing this.

This is to the entrance to my apt I have to stop every day while I drive through this canopy and just stare in awe.

Hope you have some beauty like this where you live.I love finally having seasons to enjoy. Thank you God for such splendor.Have a great week. Love to all of you Happy Fall.Susie

  3. Don;t know how I missed this fun post. Love your comment about the costume and the sneakers. My husband and I went to Disneyland last month and one of the Storm Troopers signaled for him to come have a photo with him. You have to be chosen. He was thrilled. So you photo reminded me of the photo I took of my husband. Minus the sneakers... LOL
