I know it's still summer, but I thought you would all enjoy a sneak peak from our PBS Thanksgiving Special. The autumnal table features dishes from Country Living, and the food was from our Thanksgiving Special guests' recipes. Unfortunately you'll have to wait until November to see the rest!!

I now have a roost of beautiful baby chicken dishes to go along with the "mother" red chicken roasting dish.
These things are so cute--and versatile! They are great for soup, custard, ice cream, and of course roasting. This French design allows the dish to go directly from the oven to the table. They can also be used as beautiful centerpieces. Luckily for you, they will be available on the Heirloom Meals store soon, so you can enjoy them as much as I have. Even the real chickens loved them!!

Summertime is my favorite time of year for centerpieces for the table. Just step into your garden and voila!
The first of the sunflowers and the last of the garlic scapes....

What's better than going out into your garden and snipping some flower? Right now it's all about the beauty bush and peonies.

My butler's tray sits in the front hall. It's really a table to show off my decorative objects.
And are you surprised that some of the objects I am showing off are CHICKENS??

Sometimes I am so focused on the food that the decor takes a back seat. But fortunately, some great tulips, a bright tablecloth and some tacky decorations from a local party store saved the day. What do you think?
