A Dickens Christmas Celebration

 

Last week we went to the small town of Fayetteville, to A Dickens Holiday. They had the main road closed, and lots of festivities from Victorian carolers, to a penny farthing, to a bobby on the beat

 

We walked around, then decided to eat out at an Italian Bistro, on the patio while watching the parades of people with their candles walk down Hay street to watch the Christmas tree fireworks display.

 

Here's some pictures of our day trip:

It helped spread a little Christmas cheer.

Thanksgiving 2013

 

We had a lovely thanksgiving this year at the beach. We had so many delicious dishes also. Then we went to the beach to watch the sunset with our dogs and saw dolphins. A perfect day!

 

 

I'm so thankful for my little family. 

Coastal North Carolina Thanksgiving Tablescape

Like many families, we've been getting ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Only this year is a little different, as we'll be celebrating on the North Carolina coast. Here's how I set our table this year, with lighthouses, birds and starfish while keeping some harvest accents with the basket of fresh apples and gold napkins.

 



I'll be in the kitchen if you need me.

 

Have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving.
