November 8, 2013 1 Comment

Thanksgiving, tablescape, centerpiece, fall, autumn, entertaining

I just boxed up the last of the Halloween decor and now I am thinking about ideas for our Thanksgiving table decor.  We host Thanksgiving each year, and I think last year’s decor might have been my favorite: I loved the hanging centerpiece and the white, beribboned pumpkins with just a touch of bling.

Easy Potato Pizza

September 16, 2013 1 Comment
