Black Friday! Let the Holidays Begin

November 23, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

Good morning! How was your Thanksgiving? I hope that you had a wonderful time, I know that I did, it is nice to have a relaxing day of football, family, fun and food. 

Sugar Pie Farmhouse

My favorite part of the meal is the pumpkin pie and I managed to have a piece for breakfast, a piece of dinner and a tiny little piece before I went to bed. I know it seems like a lot but it only happens once a year.  

I am going to try to restrain myself today and only eat one piece. After all I will not burn off any calories  today by going to the Black Friday sales because I am not going. Will you be out braving the crowds?

I will be home decorating my trees and house like a mad woman. I have to be finished by Sunday as we have guests arriving on Monday and I have a lot of work to do.

I hope you have a wonderful day at Black Friday or enjoying your holiday weekend. I would love to hear about your Thanksgiving and your Black Friday adventures.

Be safe and have fun.

    Thanksgiving was wonderful but I only managed a small piece of pie, to full! We only put up our wreaths outside on this day now to shove the husband up a ladder to place on the house and carriage barn. I don't shop on black Friday because I hate the crowds but I do have to sneak into the next town for thread so I can sew. I hope you have fun decorating!

    Hello Elizabeth

    Your pumpkin pie must have been delicious. The star desert for me at dinner was clafoutis as it had been baked fresh by a young pastry chef. One serving was insuffient!!!

    Wishing you a weekend of joy

    So wonderful to see you chez moi today, dear friend!!
    Yes, we had a nice dinner…and can you believe it….two pumpkin pies and two tarts! That's right…a once a year only treat! :))
    We stayed home Friday, I don't do the frenzied shopper thing…
    And we got some snow! So I am in a major holidays mood….
    Have fun decorating, don't forget your hot chocolate breaks!
    Love to you,
    – Irina

“Learn to love and appreciate the good in others “Learn to love and appreciate the good in others.” Good afternoon friends, it’s the last day of February, which is called heart month, not only for Valentine’s Day but for heart health as well. Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart! Have a great day! #heart #hearthealth #vintagestyle #love #heartshaped #scrabbletiles #handmade #handcarved

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
