Not only did I leave Thanksgiving with a bunch of leftovers… but I got a bunch of homegrown eggs as well. Their backyard chickens are still working hard producing eggs. Thanks Kelly for sending some home with me!

But I wish I had leftovers of this too!!! Looks like Rosene baked a beautiful pumpkin pie in one of my stamped pie plates for their Thanksgiving celebration. Thanks for sharing… even if it is just a photo, and not a piece of pie!!!

Possibly the best part of Thanksgiving… the LEFTOVERS!!!
Thank you Kelly for packing up two full meals worth of leftovers
before I left the party on Thursday!

And yes, there’s a light layer of snow on top of my “Tired Of Shlepping Sale” pottery which I left out on the back porch!!! There might be some extra frozen discounts out there when I do my second Holiday Home Show in two weeks!!!

When I came home this afternoon, my neighborhood looked like beautiful snow globe. We still had a lot of yellow leaves on some trees… and it was magical to see the snow sticking & piling up on the branches.

Looks like some of our yellow Fall leaves got a little caught off guard by the snow today… especially these maple leaves that came down off the trees today along with a few inches of snow!

It’s a chilly day down at Navy Pier… with more snow on the way!!!

I wasn’t invited to this Thanksgiving dinner… but it sure looks like my pottery sure was!!! Always fun to see some of my handiwork gracing the tables of so many celebrations! And remember… food always tastes better in handmade pottery! Thanks for the photos Kim!!!

After a great Thanksgiving celebration… looks like everyone is ready for a relaxing start to their day! Some of us have to work today… while others apparently get to lounge around all day & chill with a fun collection of mugs… including some new Holiday mugs just added to their collection!
