    Thanksgiving Traditions

    ByMary Crozier November 16, 2019November 16, 2019

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve prepared Thanksgiving dinner. I’m trying not to panic that Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away. This weekend I am determined to put a menu together and think about the table setting. The good news is that my son will be flying home to stay for a…

    Setting a Proper Table

    ByMary Crozier March 14, 2019September 3, 2020

    There is something satisfying about a stunning dinner table.  It makes your guests feel special and honors the meal soon to be presented.  Unfortunately, in our household we don’t do it enough.  We can rarely get our senior in high school to be hungry at standard meal times. I love setting a proper table, and…

    Our Thanksgiving Table

    ByMary Crozier November 20, 2018November 20, 2018

    Thank you so much for the feedback on my last post.  Based on consensus, I went with the silver beaded charger~~still surprised I hadn’t thought of it before.  A bit of thistle is stuck into the napkin for color and texture. I was so excited when I made the decision to go silver, but then…

    Thanksgiving Table Options

    ByMary Crozier November 13, 2018November 13, 2018

    Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week?  I’ve been enjoying my lolly-gagging November and just like that, turkey day is around the corner! I ordered my fresh turkey this a.m. and have begun meal planning.  The good news is that I will have my foodie son home from Washington, DC. I will be so grateful…
