Thanksgivings Past

Hey y'all....

I was looking through my posts to get the table from last year for y'all to see again and oh my goodness...I have not posted the Thanksgiving tables for the past two years.  I somehow lost some of my confidence about blogging because I am still a simple blogger.  Not a money making or professionally done blog.  That is the way I will keep it.  I really liked blogging a lot better when everybody just did it for the social aspect.  But I digress.

Learning to blog pushes me to learn tablescaping and also photography.  I love to see great photos on a blog..

So, without further ado.  

Here is my table from last year.  I had a hard time with wanting to really do anything because my beloved Aussie Bonnie had died in late September so I was just happy to have pulled it off at all..  My husband was so impressed with the floral arrangement.  I wish I had better pictures but at least there are a few..

Here is the Thanksgiving from 2015 that we did on our newly built porch.  I really enjoyed this one.  I hope you like it.  I will see if I can find a few more pictures to show you..

 
this is my favorite..I have diligently prayed over all these children and grandchildren for years and to have them all in one room as I pray for them in person...well, it means everything to me..

I can't believe I never posted these pictures before today.  I hope you enjoyed a look into our Thanksgivings of past years..  I don't even have a picture of the dessert tables from either year.  What was I thinking??  LOL

Thank you for stopping by..and Happy Thanksgiving prep..

Love, 

Mona

Easter table settings....

I love when it is time to get out the little rabbits I have been collecting since I was 13 yrs old..that is when I got my very first one..it sat on top of my birthday cake ..there were a pair of them and my friend Debby got the other one..we shared a birthday dance and her aunts made us the cake..I have treasured this little rabbit because of the memories of that birthday dance when I was 13 yrs old...it always brings a smile to my face and it is the first part of an Easter table....my inspiration piece.....

my birthday rabbit..

  I used my china Provencal by Royal Doulton.....never have gotten tired of it like my Mama told me I would...grin.....even Bryan said the other day..this china really is pretty.....but I already knew that..

 another little...... well, maybe not so little........collection of mine is bone china flowers....and one of the best finds was a whole box of them at an estate auction several years ago...my heart was pounding as I made the winning bid..HOORAY!  so they are mixed in with the rabbits this year.....

 I love these yellow green crystal glasses found thrifting..don't know the pattern or maker...but I like them...

all housed in small glass houses....none of them are perfect..they all have character..  (flaws)...

 and I added in these paper mache eggs that remind me of the spun sugar eggs that we used to get way back when..they were exquisite..true works of art..

I hope you are setting your table in Easter finery to celebrate this wonderful holiday...I had fun getting out all the flowers and rabbits and arranging and rearranging..it is such an alive time of year..I hope you enjoyed sitting at my table too...

I am  glad you stopped by and  hope you come again soon....me and my rabbits will be waiting for you.....

                                                                     Happy Easter!
