Holiday

[homedecor1]

Thank you everyone for the nice compliments!  

My spouse is so funny -- I had most of my decor in storage (plastic) containers, plastic bags & more they were certainly OLD and TIRED!  

Today, I stacked 4 of them with the garbage -- he said "where are you going to store all this stuff if you throw these out?" ME:  "I'm down to 2 boxes and I bought new ones!"

I think even he was surprised but quietly doing the "happy dance"... No more than ME!!! LOL...

I just started today, practicing on my kitchen table!

Love the table -- wish I could do this!

I've always wanted to "set" the table for show but we use ours too much -- and to keep moving stuff off of it becomes a problem!

I have very nice tablecloth/Fall placemats and matching napkins - and only use my fiesta yellow/orange/green for Fall dishes.

ps: I just noticed the tin you have the flowers in - really nice.

@homedecor1  and @Hooty your decorations look lovely! I am having some "centerpiece envy" because my tables are all being used for virtual learning by my children, so they are kept bare of decorations this year. The kids need the space for their laptops. Oh well, I will just save your ideas and copy them next year (I hope)!

@PreKteacher 

Don't have "envy" as you've got a very good reason -- I'd love to "turn the clock back" and have my boys at the DR table again "moaning, arguing and complaining" about schoolwork😉.

These moments which I'm sure are "stressful" during these times will someday be replaced with awesome "warm memories" and a centerpiece🙂🙂🙂

Wow @homedecor1 it looks beautiful. I've been doing my house in stages and like you going thru and weeding out items I am not using.

@homedecor1 ah I have those lanterns from CI as well and was very disappointed that the candles no longer work. I have had other CI candles for years that I'm still using but the lanterns were just a terrible buy. 

Since that purchase I'm only buying lanterns with removable candles so that I can add my own if the originals stop working.

Very pretty!! Love what you did with the wire pumpkin!!

@homedecor1 , I hope I did not hijack your thread!  I don't normally do this, except for placemats and centerpiece, but I am addicted to a FB page called Beautiful Table Settings for any of you on FB!  My container is my VPH from last year or year before and dishes are Temp-tation's Pumpkin Patch!
