This is the buffet arrangement I had over the holiday. The picture is a photo I took of the back of a sunflower, had it printed in sepia. It's awesome. I set the deserts on the top of the buffet, the arrangement was in the middle, turned out great! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! the below link is where you will find me! 
It's the time of year when we bring out the heavy blankets, so I made a mosaic with photos of 3 of my many quilts!
The quilt on the left was one that when my Grandmother passed away - we found the pieces and I finished the top and had it quilted. The one in the middle is one that I got on clearance at JC Penney, and the one on the right is one I made when we had a snow storm and I was snowed in for 5 days! 
We are not having our turkey meal until Friday night, so this is what we had for Thanksgiving. One of our kids and her family were able to come for supper, so we had a soup and sandwich meal tonight. Tomorrow night will be the turkey meal, so I have one for next week! 
Lovin' this blue turkey. I've had it forever! I was one of those who decorated with blue years ago, so this is left over from then.
Silver chargers, white Gibson Dishes, silverware I've had forever.
Since I only have 4 blue napkins, I had to substitute with a couple of white ones.
Even the back of the turkey is full and fluffy.
I got these candle holders at an garage sale for $1.00 for 3 of them, I'm only using two tonight.
I bought this tablerunner years ago when my whole house was done in blues. Wow, that was awhile ago - thank goodness!
I have lived with Sandi for about 8 years. I belonged to her Grandmother, then to her mother. I was used for many different things and have seen many different times. This is a diary of some of the things I've seen. 
I don't know how old I am, I have lived in many lovely homes. I'm not made out of fancy wood, and have lived a very simple life. 
In the early part of the 20th century communication was by hand written letters. The mail was carried by horse and rider.
An oil lamp would have provided light for the desk. Few accessories were needed, as 
A pair of wire rim glasses would be used.
A photo of the lady and her soldier would adorn my desktop.
A feather pen would have been appropriate for the time. The lady would write to her soldier if he is away fighting in a war.
(( This piece of jewelry belonged to my Step Dad's mother. It has a hand made clasp on the back and a large pink jewel in the middle. It's not shiney gold, but rather a dusky gold (is that a color?) It is well over 100 years old. ))
Note from Sandi: I hope you enjoyed my little presentation. Next week I will show my secretary in the next "season of her life".
