Heirloom dishes

 Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday

Its so fun getting all the

silver, china and crystal ready for 

~Thanksgiving~ 

Most of the dishware we use

have been in our family 

for over 3 generations

like this little silver teapot 

and the set of silver coasters

  Grandmothers plates that I adore

{Love}

the pattern , the gold rim and all of the tiny flowers

This is one of the serving plates

another serving plate

 The stemware and the

  silver coasters

 Family heirlooms
the definition of an heirloom is
"a valued possession passed down in a family through generations" 

  So Grateful to be making new memories with these dishes too

This pretty pink plate
is dreamy
♥
I am not sure what it was used for
any ideas?
We are on the Thanksgiving countdown
Family, Football, Food, Friends and Fun
Fabulous!!!

Thanksgiving Table

Hi Everyone

 Happy Friday
~Happy Veterans Day~
Grateful
  to all  who fight for our Freedom
God Bless You and God Bless America

♥

Our outdoor dining table is where we

{Love}

to have our

Thanksgiving dinner 

and this year if it is warm enough we will eat outside again
I decided to add a white ribbon  and a few garden roses to the outdoor chandelier
It will look pretty with the white lace tablecloth
♥ 

Last year the Bunny's joined us
feasting on grass in the backyard

The teak table is big and right outside
the french doors of our living room

The  patio is covered so it is a comfortable place

to eat outside in the late evening

This year will be the third year for our  family

Turkey Cookoff

My Husband deep fries a turkey and 

I bake one in the oven

The first year my Husband won, his turkey was amazing 

It looked like road kill but it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

My turkey looked great but it was not as tender

Last year I won because my Husbands turkey did not get cooked all the way through 

 Our family and friends will have a secret vote 

Can't wait to see who wins , the truth is

 we all do because we have lot's of delicious Turkey left over

I just grabbed the white lace tablecloth for the table
 the outdoor chandelier is decorated
The shell votive candle place cards are made
now its time to polish the silver and get all of my Grandmothers dishes out
{Love}
the tradition of using my Grandmothers dishes just like she did years before me
I keep thinking about pumpkin pie and homemade whip cream yummy!!
Are you ready for Thanksgiving?
