not having all my holiday things, we made do with what we had...and were happy with the result....the table looked simple but festive
the tablecloth was my mothers which we use every Thanksgiving...the glasses are Depression glass from my grandmother, the boys great grandmother as well as the candle sticks were some found by my paternal grandmother found at the Amvets store back in the 60s when she would visit us every summer.....I think they may be carnival glass...the dishes were from my step fathers estate....they are called His Majesty from Johnson Brothers....so many generations were represented.....the silver was my mothers......I am truly blest with so many heirloom pieces , so many memories of past holidays with family. Our oldest son led the prayer and we all thanked the Lord for His many blessings. This year has been a rough one but we find ourselves all working, bills paid and healthy...thanks be to God...
Tonight at 6:00 p.m. we will draw the name for the winner of my redwork towels....and I will be announcing it in my post tomorrow......so there is still time to enter if you haven't already done so...just click the photo on the left side.
That's what I like to do too...have my table set with memories. Usually I use my mother's china and silver, but this year it's all packed away and over at the storage shed. We're suppose to be having a new floor put down in the dining room, but that project has been delayed, so we made do with eating in the kitchen with the kitchen dishes. It was OK...the food still tasted the same, but the memories were missing.
