November Gold

Once again I'm joining my lovely and dear friend Susan from
Between Naps On The Porch for another Tablescape Thursday. If ever I wanted to tell anyone about a blog, Susan's would be the place! She is lovely, imaginative and inspiring and truly puts an incredible amount of work and effort into her posts' so thank you Susan for hosting another great party! You are a joy to know and to learn from my friend!

This year, my husband and I are hosting our Thanksgiving holiday with his beautiful daughter (my bonus daughter) Andrea, her husband, Ted and our two precious grandsons Cole and Blake.
There are no words in the English language to describe the joy this precious little family brings to our lives, what I know for sure is; we love them and are so blessed we are all together on this most thankful of days... 
















The details:

Stemware; Cambridge "Rambler Rose" from my grandmother c.1945
Vintage China; Noritake "Revenna" from my grandmother c.1950

  3. Oh my gosh! I have that same set of stemware. Mine are inherited pieces as well. They were from my mother. (I'm somewhat older than you!) She was married in 1945, so your date is spot on.
    I never knew anything about them. Now I have their name. I'm so happy that I happened on to your blog.
