The Unexpected

It's Thursday and tablescape time.

A huge "Thank You" to Susan at

"Between Naps On The Porch"

for hosting this event.

Be sure to stop by Susan's and all

of today's participants for some

wonderful inspiration.

Today's tablescape is unexpected.

Well the Holiday season is upon us and the

madness has began.

Soon the decorating, shopping, baking

and parties will start and we will find it

hard to find a minute to breath.

But before all that madness starts, take

a minute, reflect on this past year.

Think about a special friend that has

been there for you, or maybe that has

been through a rough time. Call up

that friend, for lunch, and when they arrive,

The Unexpected is waiting on them.

A special Thanksgiving lunch!

I have used my pink depression glass today

with Thanksgiving Plates.. I can see all the

shocked faces out there!!!!

The turkey plates I'm using I found at

TJ Maxx, I picked one color from the

plates, which was pink for my unexpected!

My depression glass came from

antique stores, yard sales, estate sales

and some from family members.

I used a pink antique quilt with an

overlay of pink fabric for the table cloth.

The little dish holding the candle belonged to my Great Grandmother and to my knowledge is the only piece of her "Sunday" dishes still in existence. Crystal salt and pepper shakers.

The glasses came from a yard sale years ago.

The desert cups came from an estate sale.

These little bowls as well as the small plates

under came from my husbands family.

Here where the pink came from!!!

I made the pink beaded napkin rings.

The flat ware has been tucked down into

the napkins.

A little wine with lunch!

A final look before we eat!

Well I hope you enjoyed lunch and will

visit again soon. Don't forget to let me

know what you think. I love hearing

from you.

Bye For Now,

Sandy
