hi, my name is jill and i have a problem.

little green notebook

i love a beautifully set table. and to do so, for different occasions... i feel like i need alot of stuff. i need different sets of regular dishes. i have my grandmother's china and my wedding china, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to buy little mismatched pieces and onsies at antique stores. i'll use em. (right?)

JILL

feeling the hustle and bustle

the lines at the grocery are longer than usual. the turkeys have taken over. suitcases are packed and ready. traffic around macy's is a mess. it is that time of year...

thanksgiving is definitely my favorite holiday. the time spent together with family cooking and chatting and sitting and laughing with a fire burning and the temperatures outside turning colder brings warmth to my heart. it is all about being together- about going nowhere, enjoying each other, and sharing tradition. its about love and thanks.

safe travels over these next few days. get home to your loved ones...and take a second to look around, take a deep breath and be thankful for what surrounds you.

xoxo and thanks.

i thought the addition of pheasant feathers in this arrangement, along with her dress, the rustic wood table and bright, beautiful red... was gorgeous.

have a great weekend.

an inspiring table

check out this gorgeous tablescape by elements of style blogger, erin gates.

she decided to have her theme be her style icons (Kelly Wearstler, Gwyneth Paltrow, Diane Von Furstenberg and Martha Stewart)
