Bring on the Turkey - The Table is Ready

Wow, it's been a very busy week. Work (which has been crazy), Halloween with the Red Heads and a craft show with mom (will be posting about that later) have consumed my week. I was exhausted and decided to stay in this weekend and try to be crafty and get my Thanksgiving table setting together. I had to look no further than my own backyard for the crafty part of my table. I know my neighbors must have wondered what in the world I was doing crawling around on the ground picking up acorns and fallen branches, but free beats going to buy something from the store! I stuck the branches in an urn I had and hot glued the acorns (after glittering them up a little) to the branches. I also put some acorns in a small covered dish I picked up a couple of weeks ago.

So here is the anatomy of my Thanksgiving table:

Love, Love, Love my tablecloth! I bought it many years ago at the Scott Antique Show in Atlanta. It came with twelve napkins and it is in perfect condition.





Of course I used thrifted dishes, glasses and silver ware!







Only thing left to add is a little decor. 






And of course my crafty acorn tree!







Here it is all put together!





Hazel even gussied up for the occasion!

The Red Headed Girls go Trick or Treating

What a fun night we had on Halloween! The Red Headed Girls came over to my house to do their Trick or Treating and I love having them over and making wonderful memories with them. I did get their costumes finished just in the nick of time. They looked quite adorable if I do say so myself! Here is our night in pictures!

They arrive and have a little bite to eat before heading out:
