Thanksgiving is slowly approaching!

Although we have not yet celebrated Halloween, I can't help think that we are only a month away from Thanksgiving, not sure how this has happened, but it has.  It certainly makes you feel like cozying up for the upcoming holiday.  Here is a great party tip for that overcrowded table . . . use a side table or huntboard to display a great table setting along with your delicious food. Just add some bittersweet to a glass vase and you have the perfect decorated sideboard.   Enjoy!
