Entertaining Season is almost upon us.  I'm busy behind the scenes this week packaging up and photographing my products for Thanksgiving - my favorite holiday.  In just a couple of days I'll share the new collection with lots of inspiration for setting a beautiful Thanksgiving table.  These photos from last year's store collection are a little sneak peak of something that I'm stocking again - after many requests, hint hint.
