Chargers

Next week is already Thanksgiving, can you believe it? It was festive browsing through stores this long holiday weekend. Shop windows have been transformed into Christmas wonderlands and there were plenty of shoppers with shopping bags in hand. So I found myself contemplating holiday dinners and how I wanted to decorate my table this year, which made me think of Chargers. Charges are an elegant touch to any table setting and I noticed there is a wide selection available this year. Think of it this way, the plate is the picture. the charger the frame.  Whether your style is traditional or modern, elegant or rustic, the charger is a small detail that makes a big impact.

The Garden of Eatin’

During my visit to Idaho we enjoyed the last of mom’s bountiful harvest from summer. So one evening while she was preparing chicken chili and cornbread for dinner (yum!), I decided to capture the beautiful fruit and veggies that were on her counter.  The wood and ceramic bowls are some of our “finds”, the burlap too.

Our dear family friends, Kathy and John who live just down the road from mom, are retired horticulturalists from New Jersey and have a serious garden. I wish we had time to go visit and take some photos of their garden to share with you…but maybe next year. Their squash is featured above. Thanks Kathy and John for always sharing!
