Hi Jen! What an adorable tablescape! I love that little log cabin & the sparkly black trees!! Target has those? Those are the cutest tiny pumpkins ever. And the fabric for the tablecloth is such fun, too!!

Happy PS, too!

Hi Jen, your fall tablescape is so pretty. Oh my mother's china looks so great for fall, I never thought of using it with that! I don't think Mommom did either! She would be proud of you and all your decorating since it was somthing that she loved to do. Her start in decorating was for store front windows in Philadelphia.
Nana's recipe is perfect for fall, she always made it this time of year! Happy Fall!
Love You! Mom

Jennifer, your table looks so fun! It looks pretty and spooky at the same time. ;-)

The bread sounds delicious. I like that it contains raisins and nuts.

Hi Jennifer,
Love your tablesetting! That recipe sounds yummy to and I also called my Grandma, Nana. Thanks for stopping by I have found the same thing with Target not stocking RA things, but I am lucky to have about 5 of them, so I go to all of them and they always have something that the other one doesn't! LOL. That's crazy isn't it, but when I have something in mind I look everywhere for it.
