Yesterday great. I slept in (well, for me) got Sweet Guy off to school and then spent the morning catching up on blogs. It’s Beginning…. I probably wouldn’t have gotten dressed but I needed to go the middle school for their annual holiday feast. What a lunch! I spent the afternoon deep cleaning and decorating. Dinner was Chinese Food.

Lovely Damask Napkins and a Natural Thanksgiving Centerpiece
Yesterday I shared my Thanksgiving tablescape. It features Lovely Damask Napkins and a Natural Thanksgiving Centerpiece. Lovely Damask Napkins I am always drawn to antique and vintage table linens.

My plans were to make generously sized napkins from the cloth. Measuring 22 inches across I made ... View the Post
