Welcome! I'm so glad to have you all back for our Thursday Favorite Things party. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Well, friends, the time has come...We are officially in The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, in my humble opinion. :) I'm so excited for everything Christmas! Can you believe in just a couple of days we will already be in December?! I've started my baking and am just beginning to start decorating. I'm so excited to see many of you share my love of all things DIY for Christmas as well. There is some awesome inspiration here.

 So, before I get onto the features let me share my sweet little  Christmas Wreath from a couple years ago, even though I do still make my wreaths every year from the trimming I get from the Christmas tree lot or farm! Here is my post so you, too, can

A Potpourri of Fall Delights and Thursdays Favorite Things Party~

Hello and welcome to Thursdays Favorite Things!  I'm still saying Happy November because it still doesn't feel like it here! 81 degrees here today! Too warm for Fall.

Thursdays Favorite Things ~ Goodbye October

Ooops! Friends the time slipped away from me this week...Please link up with us for this week's Thursdays Favorite Things, now, and come back next week for even more of my Features!! 

My apologies. I will be pinning your wonderful creations all week long.
Meanwhile enjoy a little daydream stroll down this beautiful Autumn path..

Savory Roasted Pumpkin Soup

It is that wonderful time of year in which pumpkins are everywhere.  I am in love with Autumn/Fall! (this is no secret to my regular readers)  Although, I do not participate in all things Halloween, I do so enjoy the Harvest time.  So many wonderful and different varieties of vegetables are available (as long as you are not intimidated by them).  

After I became "differently-abled" I volunteered at our local food pantry and soup kitchen for about 6 or 7 years, everytime the loads would come in from the stores and local farms, with a variety of beautiful squash, most everyone looked at me and said, "Theresa, we have more 'gourds' for you." They thought them only good for rustic, harvest-themed table decoration and never did add them to our food give away.  Very seriously, the public's loss was my gain.  At one point. I even offered to print up recipes to go with the ingredient, but I was overruled as it being "too difficult" of a fruit/vegetable for most people to work with. So, now, finally, I have the voice, and platform, here to tell the Public, that the opposite is true! They are very easy to work with!

Well, looks like I may have to wait a little while longer.  Usually, I like to pick a theme from your shares for my Features each week. But all provide such a wide array of talent, that this week I simply chose to feature those that caught my eye first. So here they are, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
