Happy Thanksgiving!

I woke up really early this morning to start working on my flower arrangements for my Thanksgiving table. I decided on shades of pink roses this year, as I love how they look with my cream and brown transferware plates. They are arranged in mercury glass "vases" are from Target (this season).

They are actually candle and votive holders!  The trick with these is to make sure to place a smaller glass inside each one to hold your water - otherwise all the "mercury" may wash away. :-) They are the perfect height for a table arrangement since they don't block anyone's view and they are small in size - so you can keep them on the table and still have room for all that stuffing and cranberry sauce.

I am hosting this year, but I am fortunate to have lots of help from my family - the husband makes the turkey and chocolate pecan pie. My Mom is famous for her sweet potatoes (with marshmallows) and my little sister is an excellent pie maker and always helps me with the made-from-scratch stuffing!  And the girls are fabulous and creative table setters...especially if it means they will be rewarded with chocolate turkeys!

I wish you all a very, very Happy Thanksgiving!  I am thankful for each and every one of you!

I love the chocolate turkeys. :) I hoped to find some this year and didn't, and by the time I realized the stores didn't have them, it was too late to order any. They're so dear.

Happy Thanksgiving!
