Martha Stewart I'm not..

But thanks for the compliment, Pat..hehe. Well, today was another luncheon here and now I think we'll take a break until December 4th. Three parties in 7 days... what was I thinking??? I have no complaints tho..each one turned out lovely and I enjoyed opening my home. Today was a Thanksgiving luncheon and I was able to pull out my pumpkin soup bowls (go to CrateandBarrel.com and look under holidays/thanksgiving), lovely gold renaissance candlesticks (also from C&B) ..autumn napkins with beautifully colored maple leaves on them. Our menu consisted of Hamburger soup..yummmmm..green salad, french bread and a fruit torte for dessert.

Next weekend I get to decorate for my favorite season of the year. Not because I love all the glitter and scents and candles, etc (which I do) .. but because it is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the foundation in my life. :-) A time to spend with family and friends online and off and to find those special gifts!

off I go...a photo job for a bit...will finish later...

hugz to all!
