Although I love to entertain formally, I rarely do so. Much of my good china and serving dishes remain on the shelf most of the year--a habit I plan on breaking.
So, when I have the opportunity to entertain, I tend to get a little crazy. :) I spend days polishing silver. I contemplate the prettiest serving dishes to use. I plan a menu.
For the past few years, my Beloved and I have had his parents over for Thanksgiving. We will then spend a night at a B&B and do some antiquing where I have my annual, ubiquitous hunt for all glassware that is depression-era.
This year we had the good fortune to stay at the Alexander Mansion where we were treated to a lovely, gracious, and luxurious stay. I highly recommend it.

| Placesettings and centerpiece: I made the centerpiece myself. :) And notice that cute, yellow depression glass? |

| One of my favorite depression-era pieces |

| A light fixture in Martha's room. |

| A nice plan to snuggle with a good book :) |

| Nightcap and goodnight. :) |

P.S. An FITD sentiment according to my mother: "Don’t ruin the table with
bowls that aren’t pretty."
