This Fall, I faced facts that my rapid heart beat problems were not going to get better on their own, and that instead my episodes of Supraventricular Tachycardia were in fact getting worse and had become less likely to respond to the preventative medicine. So I scheduled an ablation surgery. The surgery took place yesterday and I’m very thankful for the surgeon I had!! It is looking like, after recovery, I may be episode free – which would be awesome!
Although I had always planned to share these 3 Favorite Halloween Posts this fall, the medical procedure left me thinking that now would be the best time to share these, and hopefully by next week, I will be allowed to carry my heavy dishes and will be able to make a brand new tablescape to post.
Scroll down to click on the link above the large Tablescape pictures (the link is in Orange Type) to get to the original post for each tablescape. The original post includes tons of pictures of the tablescape and also includes the Table Details and Origins Section, which shows where the items were purchased or places where similar items can be obtained. Many of the posts also include lakeside sunset photos. I hope you enjoy these tablescapes and have a wonderful Halloween this year!! I’d love to hear about your Halloween Celebrations or Halloween decorations – either this year’s or some from the past. If you have time to share those ideas, please share them at the bottom of the post. Thanks so much!!
