Thanksgiving Flowers, $3 for $12 at Safeway....





































After spending a small fortune for Thanksgiving groceries, I was very pleased Safeway offered beautiful fall flowers at a very reasonable price, $3 for $12. Not only were the flowers reasonable, but they can go a long way when it comes to decorating around the house.

I used some of the flowers to decorate a grapevine wreath for the front porch, put some flowers in three different vases and had some left over to fill little bowls which I will use when I set the table tomorrow for Thanksgiving dinner. I used a mixture of mums and berry leaves. I loved the punches of orange and green together, definitely my two favorite "new" colors ;-)

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

Great getaway weekend, now it's time to think about the Holidays!




















I spent some quality time with the hubby this weekend in Middleburg, Va. and stayed at an adorable little Bed and Breakfast, The Red Fox Inn. They're not kidding when they say Middleburg is known as "Horse Country". We were even greeted at one of the Winery's by some beautiful horses during our wine tasting.
Now it is time to start getting ready for the Holiday Season and Holiday Decor. With a blink of an eye, the Holiday's will be over. I hope to get a head start this weekend with decorating and Christmas shopping. What about you?
