The last couple of years I have been enjoying adding touches of red
to our kitchen/dining room. The red and white vintage quilt is the perfect
touch of red and white for anytime of the year but especially Christmas.
The harvest table is the same one we had when our seven children all
sat around the table for meals.....wish those days hadn't gone by so quickly!
The chairs were brown thrift shop finds that got a makeover a few years ago.
University Ave in Charlottetown. It will be perfect for a winter display
of greenery and berries on my porch.
I am enjoying the sparkle of Christmas lights in our home once again ~ it makes theselong dark evenings so cheery. I will have to get some photos to share with you
soon.
Tomorrow, I am invited to a friends beautiful home for a Christmas lunch - so let the fun begin!
I am joining Be Inspired at Common Ground today as well as My Romantic Home
for Show & Tell Friday.
Blessings to all my American friends ~ I hope you are enjoying a lovely
Thanksgiving day.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn

Those pops of red look very festive, Carolyn!
Thanksgiving is now officially over and the official Holiday Season begins in the am. I am so excited and in the mood to decorate I am half tempted to pull it all out tonight, if I wasn't exhausted from cooking and baking for the last few days!
I have my little niece spending the night tomorrow to help me climb up and down the ladder. That will be a tremendous help this year! And spending time with her before she goes through the change and becomes a moody disinterested teenager is priceless! They really DO grow much too quickly, I agree!
I love red and white at Christmas and your table looks so lovely with the quilt on it and the other red items. I have added some red to my decor this year too. I think it just says Christmas. I like your little bunch of rose hips with the green leaves. Have a lovely weekend and enjoy your brunch.
Gorgeous reds, I love them all!!!
Your table with quilt is swoonnnn....hope you are enjoying a lovely Tksgiving day.
