The Holidays...

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to the New Year. We had a wonderful Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with my in-laws and went out to dinner and then opened presents together at our house. It was so wonderful to be with them.

Christmas morning Dave, Gizmo and myself enjoyed some time alone and had a tasty breakfast and then opened our own presents. It was then right up to Spartanburg to celebrate Christmas with my parents and siblings.

It truly was one of the nicest Christmases we have had.

Thanksgiving....

Hope everyone had a truly wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving with family and loved ones. We had a nice day. I cooked and hosted my first Thanksgiving. It was just Dave, myself and the inlaws and it was a great day. Then Saturday we headed up to the upstate and visited my parents, siblings and grandparents. We watched several football games, one which I will not even mention :), ate lots of mom's delicious food and have an overall good time.

As cliche as it is to say we have so many reasons to be Thankful....we really do, we are blessed with much. Great family, some how we are making it through my new career change and this horrible economy, we have great friends and a roof over our heads. There are always things to be thankful for.

Lastly, I leave you with pictures of our Thanksgiving setup.

White pumpkins....unhealthy obsession

Now that fall is in full swing I have been on a white pumpkin frenzy. They are a classic way to spruce up the dining room table, porch, mantle and any other place in the house for fall. Add some candles and some greenery....and beautiful.

Below are some of my favorite photos of white pumpkins in use:

Finally back to blogging- In the Fall mood...

I have been MIA for awhile, I have just been so busy getting my real estate career going.
In the spirit of fall I decide to make a fall tablescape and update our mantle.


The picture is smaller than I thought, but you can see the cute little pumpkins as well as the new PB lantern with a cork candle inside.

All the flowers and vines came straight from our front yard, and the pumpkins and squash were bought at a pumpkin patch.

That is "fall" as I will get this year since I am so busy. But I just wanted to post my few updates.

So this is love....

David and I have some exciting news! We found out last night we were approved for a home loan! We are so excited....our lease ends in February so we will start the house hunt then, but until then I am feverishly trying to find inspiration for our home.

I came across this photo of a kitchen and I am in love. We have so many turquoise pieces that we got for the wedding that I would love to incorporate into our future kitchen and possibly add glass cabinet doors on several cabinets for the display.
