 My mother's crystal from the 1940's is by Fostoria and it is so special to me. I love my crystal from the 70's but it does not compare to Meadow Rose by Fostoria.

Vintage ornaments always draw my eye. I love pretty nostalgic ornaments!

 Gardening is a passion of mine and I learned recently how to buy a fresh poinsettia. I am continually amazed that you can goggle anything. I goggled "how to buy a poinsettia" and there are many pointers. Check it out.

Thanksgiving at our house was very special because all our family was together. We sat by the fire pit frequently and ate very well for days. 

While my husband was cooking steaks the rest of the family enjoyed this brie cheese sitting around the fire pit.
