Thanksgiving, a week late

I always have intentions of blogging about things right after they happen but I never seem to follow through on it. Thanksgiving was a week ago and I am just now getting to talk about it. My husband and I have only been married for a year and this was the first time that we've hosted a holiday meal! It was even more special because his family were the first visitors we've had to our new home (which we've only been in for two months). Including my husband and I there were 16 people in our home! Fortunately there were kind to us and the only thing we had to cook was the turkey! They brought everything else. Here is a picture of the tablescape. It was the first time we were really able to show off the china that we got for our wedding. Below is a close-up of a single place setting.

I will leave you with a picture of some stash I acquired awhile ago actually. I knew as soon as I saw Blackbeard's Princess, I knew I had to have it! I am the kind of person who really has to finish one big project before I can start another, so it will be awhile before I can begin this one :( I have to finish Crystal Symphony and The Stargazer first.
