Thanksgiving, A Time of Gratitude
This week, as we pause to reflect on the blessings in our lives, I hope that everyone is spending the holiday in a manner that is joyful, with people they love. I am aware of a fellow blogger that lost her husband suddenly without warning last week. Even though she lives in a country that …
Planning Holiday Meals
This is the week I usually begin planning for our meals for Thanksgiving weekend. Not only do we need the full meal for the holiday, I like to do something different for the Wednesday night meal, and make plans for the leftovers. Last week, our local Publix put frozen turkeys on sale for 39-cents a …
Thanksgiving Tablescapes
Setting a lovely table in anticipation of an upcoming holiday is always a fun activity.

Making Thanksgiving Cards
I got my Thanksgiving cards done on time this year, whoopee! In a fit of stamping frenzy, I made a bunch one morning. Sometimes the inspiration is just there, and with the pretty new papers I got from IOStamps, and a score at a private sale, I had plenty. I got out some leafy prints, …
Happy Thanksgiving!
This is my favorite day of the year! We'll begin the day with my baked eggs breakfast, have some nibbles through the parades and football games, and enjoy our turkey dinner in the early evening. I promised a photo of the pilgrims with the little mini quilt from Autumn Jubilee a few years back. I …
Thanksgiving Tablescapes
Today, let's take a little trip back in time to see a variety of tablescapes for the Thanksgiving table. Starting with this one, a gold and rust theme with turkeys all over. The ecru tablecloth lightens the look. I used my largest ceramic ones for the centerpiece with honey color candles. Gold napkins are held …
