Kathleen, I commented on your blog, but was glad to take another peak here. I love it all, and especially the pheasant S&P.

Same here Kathleen...
I love checking out your blog...
and Always enjoy looking again, when you show it here.

Everything you do, is such an Inspiration!

Ladies! No need to comment if you already did! You are too kind..
Just thought the newbies might enjoy it!

Kathleen, thanks for posting this here -- I don't always make it to the blogs, and I know I miss lots of things.

Your table is beautiful. Your metal pumpkin makes the perfect centerpiece. Everything looks grand!

Pass the acorn cookies, please.

Since I don't have a blog, I don't comment there, but I do try to look frequently and enjoy all the things you share. I mentioned on Karen's post about her new pheasant that you had salt and pepper shakers that were pheasants too--and here they are! TFS Luvs

Luvs, that's why I posted it, :)
I know everyone who was here last year saw it, but when pheasants were mentioned I decided to rerun it!

And thank you for remembering them!

Kathleen, since my memory stinks (unlike Luvs), things are always NEW to me. So repost away and I love seeing your gorgeous pictures right along with any new members. Plus I just know there's always something I've missed on your settings the first time. Those pheasant S&P shakers are very pretty.

hugs, Karen

Kathleen, Last year I wasn't in to pheasants. So, thanks for reposting those cuties for me this year.

I'm with Betty. Sometimes I miss elements of a picture simply because I'm not thinking along certain lines. So seeing a picture a second time can be like seeing it the first time if I approach it from a different angle. (Oh, I fear I'm not expressing myself very well.)

At any rate, Kathleen, keep posting here and repeat stuff to your heart's content. I been here over a year now and I don't remember that table setting at all.
It's very nice, by the way.

OA, I remember you commenting on the brass letters and numbers last year!
I remember that, but not where I put my keys! LOL
And thank you all for taking the time to comment...:)

That's just such a pretty, inviting table! I love the idea of the letters in the pumpkins for place cards. Terrific idea! I have the Lenox Eternal, too. So versatile, although I've never done much with it. I'm working on it though. I really like what you did with your metal pumpkin. I'll have to try that. And the little pheasants are darling!

Thank you, Cindy..
I only have dinner plates in the Lenox pattern.
I bought them as I have the Lenox Eternal Christmas..and they discontinued it..
I bought some plain plates to mix in if I need extras.

Oh my gosh, NOW I remember.
I went back to the "digital scrapbook" that I keep, and there was the table setting - only I put it in the New Years Eve section. I guess, because of the numbers. Now, how silly does that make ME feel!!!

Not silly at all! You have more impt things to remember than a table! :)

Lovely table. I am wondering how you handle removing the plate decoration. Do you do it before you serve, guests remove it? Thanks, I love the look, just don't know the protocol for removing the items when it is time to serve dinner.

TIA

I remove it with the bowl, fill the bowl and return it w/o the decoration!
I don't know if there is a protocol per se, that's just how I do it, LOL!

Kathleen, Nice, real nice and thanks so much for showing us your last years table. Funny how everyone is getting into pheasants this year. You are just way to far ahead.LOL Punk
