giving thanks...and merry christmas rosemary!


what a great thanksgiving holiday weekend!  lots of love, good food, and laughs!  to give me some time to rest, shawn and i stayed here on thursday and had a vegetarian thanksgiving feast of our own, then we drove down to atlanta on friday afternoon to have some family time and some black friday shopping...although i must admit i was far below par with my black friday activity this year--we didn't get there until friday afternoon, which is almost sacrilegious.  mom and aunt nat went to target, etc. at 5:00 am though, so we had some family representation.  given my unfaithfulness to the shopping gods, i didn't even try to go to the lenox macy's shoe department--they would have struck me down!  we went to perimeter mall, and, as is usually the case, i found many more christmas presents for myself than for others!  but i was good and did buy some things for those on my list!  i guess the list of gifts for others that i have already cued up on amazon made me less stressed than others about that...
anyway, here are some highlights of the decorating--our first together!  we had (of course) my pink tree, th pop culture tree, and (as a surprise to me) a big tree in our dining room!  we decorated it with vintage ornaments that we found in my grandmother rosemary's collection...perfect combination of beautiful colors and time-worn patina to make our hearts melt...
