Shop Sales & a Giveaway

Oh my! sale time came at me so fast.

I was up sooo late, after 1 a.m.

We all ate so much we could not move.

We laughed so much we cried.

We sang.

We told stories.

It was grand.

ps: Thanksgiving wrap-up…

Miles Birthday. Loved his big horse.

Thankful day 1

 Awesome eats.

I cooked so much, and my friend brought some fresh/raw homemade cran-orange relish, homemade lemon meringue pie (with her own lemons) and salad.

There was…

Turkey that fell off the bone, brown sugar candied yams, mashed potatoes, stuffing chock full of delicious veggies, green bean casserole, oven baked croissants, fresh cranberry orange rind relish, herb vinaigrette salad, 5 pies (lemon meringue, traditional pumpkin, pumpkin cheesecake), dessert wine, and so much more I can’t recall now.

What did you munch???

Are you so tired today?

Phew.

Full full full bellies.

Thankful day 3

 

Refreshing pomegranate seeds after a long night of fun.

Hit the spot.

Thankful day 2

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too 🖤

    Veevala! So glad your fur baby got cuddled and your tummy got full. 🙂 I had a great Turkey Day; I was downtown by 7am for the Thanksgiving Community Event. Busloads from the Homeless Shelter came in – we either fed 800 people or 400 twice 🙂 plus delivered to Hospice <3 it was lovely, on a lake, with music, and the sun sparkling. And they made ME the Dessert Princess!!
    I so Love this time of year!!!
    XOXOXOXVIIIXOXOXOX

    Vanessa ~
    Thank you so much for hosting the gift certificate give-away to my shop. Also…thank you for including the info on my sale too. I’m keeping my prices in place through Monday.
    Your turkey looks like a magazine turkey. Do you do all the turkey prep? Ohhhh yuck, yuck, yuck. My husband and daughter do the turkey prep as I can’t stand to look at the thing! Especially the floppity neck skin and the magic bag of gooshy innards! Blech!

    your pumpkin bread is sooooo popular with the family. I gave away more loaves on Thanksgiving. I have to bake another batch tomorrow (or Monday).
    Thanksgiving was part of my family here. I roasted the turkey and a ham, made enough stuffing for an army, mashed potatoes, green beans and finally found a recipe for cranberry/jello salad that tastes like my moms. I made mac and cheese, too. Family brought sweet potato casserole, potato salad, deviled eggs and rolls. Oh forgot the pumpkin and chocolaste pies I made.
    My sis in law and I did shopping today then had them over and my uncle to help eat more leftovers. It was good and I’m still tired.
    Every year I say I’m not doing so much cooking next year.
    I love the pic of Miles and the horse. So sweet.

  24. hehe How SWEET Miles looks with his new horsey!! Did Matty get something too?! Does he play with toys like Miles?!! MMMMMMMM! I would have been leaping to get a piece of lemon meringue pie!!! My grandmother Garnet used to make the best! So
    thankful I got over those hives Thanksgiving Day! phew a mystery what it was but I did change a pill and no more Downy dryer sheets!!soOOOOo who knows????Good Luck Everyone!!!

  25. Oh yes, I have to use natural and everything free dryer sheets. YES
    Matty got a penguin, and they both got turkey – and i made the livers and
    gizzards for them. And Matty LOVEs toys too, but Miles loves them
    more. Miles takes his bag of toys, drags it to the middle of the room, and
    takes everything out of it. Matty, just likes to take the toys away from
    Miles mostly. But he does sleep with them too. Last night Matty got
    the horse 😉

    Happy post turkey madness, V.
    It all looks spectacular.
    What lucky Thanksgiving orphans to gather ’round your table.

  29. Meg says:

    I’m glad you had such a wonderful time.
    The photographs are lovely, and Miles certainly does look pleased with his new friend.
    Don’t you just love that happy sleepy haze that descends on everything at the end of a foodie family/friends celebration?
