I love all the things the posters have mentioned.... plus I like the silhouette of the witch on the door....or is that the real thing hanging around waiting to be invited in.....?....oooo0000oooo000000oooocackle cackle

Too late Betty, the ACORN creamer/sugar were the 2nd thing I noticed on her table! LOL The first thing was how nice those mums look in the turkey basket--that made a really pretty centerpiece. Your candles look lovely too--no one would believe you made them yourself and at such an unbelieveable price. And what a nice find on your silverware, it looks really nice and how many people can say they have something made in Siam? Your table looks very warm and inviting, and I know your family/guests are going to love it. Oh, I couldn't help but notice your pretty white birdcage too. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. ;o) Luvs

Very nice Shee - I just love looking at all these pretty settings that you guys come up with. I think we all forget at least one thing at these big gatherings - mine was co-ordination this year - lol. However I did take notes on what I could do better which will be around Christmas. We have a niece and nephew (brother and sister) and their families moving within a half-hours drive and hopefully we can talk their parents (my sister and her husband) into retiring down here, plus I have both my kids and families and another sister and family so big gatherings will be a staple around here. I have decided on getting at least 24 crystal plates from Dollar Tree and gold and green chargers for the basic dishes and then work from there depending on the season since I can't afford to have different dishes for each season. Gatherings will always be in the 15-20 people range. I do like the idea of having a central buffet table and then smaller eating tables set up - I can do that fairly easily - chairs will be the bigger problem but folding chairs with chair covers would work. I am sorry to bore you all with thinking out loud here but Shee's pictures has me thinking. Trust me I will be asking input closer to Christmas - lol Keep the pictures and inspiration coming ....
