I won these wonderful burlap placemats from Linda at The White Weathered Hutch .




I think they look amazing in this Thanksgiving Tablescape.Thanks so much Linda , I love them !

The plates are Trade Winds, Staffordshire China .



I added these sunflowers plates I bought on sale from Cracker barrel last year, the tablecloth is a vintage 50's find from Ebay .

For the centerpiece I added a TJ grocery store bouquet in this pretty vase that is a recent GW find .

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Hi Blogging Friends ,

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas , well at Brier Creek Mall in Raleigh, NC it is anyway!

I went shopping Friday nite and they had their annual Christmas tree lighting with the arrival of Mr. & Mrs. Claus . This is a photo journal of Christmasy things that caught my eye.


The tree with a full moon and kids waiting to see Santa .


I walked by and snapped this of two kids with faces painted to look like reindeer , looks like they are part of Santa's team .


I was glad to see Target was wishing me A Merry CHRISTmas !



I love this new Lalaloopsy Suzette La Sweet , I love dolls !

Love red roses , in Target , found these trees , wreaths & flower balls .


I think this would look wonderful in the kitchen for Christmas filled with candy or other treats.


Love these sock moneys .


Beautiful Christmas fairy!


Santa cookie jar,love it !



And everybody needs an elf for their shelf at Christmas time .
I feel it is too early to wish you a Merry Christmas , although that is my wish for you .

But , there is still Thanksgiving and it is a very special holiday so instead I wish you a very Blessed Thanksgiving! I will especially during these coming days to Thanksgiving Day count my many blessings and thank& praise God for them .

I thank him for Blogger Friends , you are a blessing in my life .

Hill Ridge Farms Pumpkin Festival

Hello Blogging Friends,

Today I have a Photo Journal of my visit to Hill RidgeFarms in Youngsville, NC . It is a very fun place to go , especially during their Pumpkin festival. I have a lot of pics but I didn't include most of the kids activities . Visit the farm's website here to see more. I love to visit the country store.Lots of old and interesting things on display and to buy .
































You get a free pumpkin with admission price during Pumpkin Festival , but they still have lots of flowers & pumpkins for sale .











One of the kid mazes . I love the rainbow of colors .









We passed lots of beautiful scenery on the Hay ride .


Above is view of a Hayride form the train ride .






More views from Hayride .





















We enjoyed a beautiful Fall afternoon at the farm . The weather was gorgeous the air was a little crisp , but smelled clean and pure . Fall is my favorite time of the year. Thanks for coming along for the ride.

I will leave you with these Happy Pumpkin Faces

& a hearty Happy Fall Y'all !
