Allowing Time For Reflection




I so enjoyed the post on http://sweetpeahome.blogspot.com on a crafter afternoon... If you haven't viewed it and read it please do yourself a favor and stop over and see the lovely home and style and ideas of her friend Becky... I really found it to be quite creative...
The above pics are of my little serving table that I will have a candy bar set up now until Christmas for treats... The other pic is of my loved, antique 1800's pie safe tucked with a couple Christmas objects brought out from storage...

Has been a rainy day till now about 3:00 in the afternoon as the sun is trying to sine... We are so far behind with the harvest here in NW Ohio... Getting to be quite a challenging to area farmers and very stressful.. Our winter wheat did not get put out... This is not only hurting us it hurts the consumers as the price is paid by all when Mother Nature is in here bad mood and carries on for weeks at a time...

I have been choosing to send my thoughts as much as possible to making a lovely budget friendly style of decorating and taking off the chill with a lovely fireside setting... There is a grace to having bounty surrounding with the splendor of decorating and the warmth and pleasure of nourishment... Taking and allowing time for reflection of the beauty that surrounds is and the time for Thanksgiving is nearing... I must be off as I have a chocolate cake in the oven and the aroma of it is telling me I must make my way to the kitchen for removal very soon... Sending blessings...

I think a candy bar sounds so fun to do Marietta! I may have to steal that idea...err...borrow? :)

Isn't this weather crazy though? Goodness wonder what winter will bring.
