Last Autumn Teatime & Movie Recommendation!

The house is empty. I am taking tea earlier than usual today.

The kettle has been heated.

This is the last quiet moment before the crazy Big Holiday Season hits!

Thanksgiving dinner is here tomorrow, the day after that begins
All Things Christmas. And we all know how insane these next few weeks are going to be!

Please allow me to wish you all a very blesssed Thanksgiving Day!

There probably won't be much blog reading for most of us in the next
busy few days. so even if my wish is belated I did want to let each of you know how wonderful you all are, and how I count you each as a blessing.

Thank you so much for reading my humble little blog so faithfully. Never in a million years did I expect to find the joy & friendships I have found through blogging. It is the best of the best, and I appreciate you so much.

So I grabbed some of my very favorite fall magazines - today being
Tea Time and Victoria......and actually read them cover to cover while I
leisurely sipped my tea in my pretty autumn themed china before putting
it all away for yet another year.

I have somehow managed to save some peanut butter milk chocolate pumpkins my dear MIL Ginny gave me for my birthday and pumpkin flavored white chocolate covered pretzels my friend Marina gave me when I stayed at her house recently .....how I didn't manage to eat them all is amazing, thanks, gals for the yummy sweet treats!


Here is a lovely bouquet my wonderful hubs gave me. ♥


Fresh flowers always make a more pleasant tea time, don't you agree?

Where does the time go? This year has flown by so quickly! A big part of me wants to stop the clock and savor this teatime and just SLOW DOWN.
But we all know that can't happen. The Season is upon us in full swing
and stays busy till way after New Year's Eve. *Sigh*

In a few  minutes it's time to bake pies and start the "early" things for
dinner tomorrow. I always make my gravy and stuffing and cranberry salad the day ahead - makes for a quicker day tomorrow. Plus we're absolutely convinced that it tastes better after ingredients

(A sweet Thanksgiving card from my sister MB.)

I use linen napkins for dinner but paper napkins for dessert - and
these are perfect for it.

I hope you all have a chance to take a healthy spiritual breather today
and just  try and slow it down and savor it just a tiny bit for your teatime or coffee time or Diet Coke time, or whatever and just breathe.

Remember that it is truly only the PEOPLE who count, not the stuff, not the food, not the decor - the loved ones are most important (and God, of course.) 

Keep your mind on the importance of Thanksgiving and Christmas and Hanukkah and Winter Solstice or whatever your choice of 
spirituality. 

May you be richly blessed and truly focused on what's truly important in the coming weeks ahead.

   If you want to see the perfect china set for Thanksgiving hope on over to Miss Spenser's and check it out!

BTW:

If you haven't seen the movie "About Time" with Rachel McAdams -

do so soon. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a very very long time and I *highly* recommend it.

 Your fellas will like it too - it is done romantically but through the eyes of really good men. They will identify! Perfect date movie! TRUST ME ON THIS ONE! don't even watch the trailer, go without knowing much about it. Grab your Mom, sister, bff, hubs, significant other, or go alone - but definitely see this movie soon.

AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VISIT!

♥
