What I wore for Thanksgiving dinner

Not donning an apron this Thanksgiving gave me an opportunity to to dress up.
I drove Mother and Mr. HB to my sister's home, we brought a bottle of wine, some flowers and a roasted veggie dish.
Mother made the pumpkin pies as she is well known for her fabulous pastry.
Family and friends gathered together to share a meal and give thanks.

One of my LBD's made an appearance
as did those hardy Stuart Weitzman shoes.
(If they were red I'd be saying "there's no place like home")

These shoes say "party" to me

perhaps because they are patent leather or maybe because they have bows on the toes.

Happy feet!

I wore stockings for the first time this season.

Messy up do

Faux Fuchsia does such a neat bun but I am all thumbs...

sparkles just because...

a little bling looks good in candlelight

and 

I wore eyeliner and shadow in a slightly darker shade

 Chanel lip gloss

and a quick spritz of Hermes scent.

I gave myself a manicure and slicked on a clear glossy glaze 

to disguise my gardener's paws.

After dinner in the kitchen my hands submerged in soapy water 

I wondered if the polish would peel

I should not have worried

 trusty OPI is a warrior among nail varnish.

Today all was back to business

grocery shopping

laundry

a walk on the seafront with my BFF

and the start of a new week...

We had an extra special invite to have dinner 

with our lovely grand daughter Isla 

and her very clever parents

lovely daughter joined in too...

Time spent with family humbles me beyond measure.

I am in awe

often speechless

and 

soak in so many blessings that I feel I might burst.

"As we express our gratitude, 

we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, 

but to live by them." 

- John F. Kennedy

Hope that your week is off to a good start.
