Last year I didn't do a proper Thanksgiving Collection. It is easy to sort of sweep Thanksgiving in with Fall decor, or just move right on to Christmas - but I LOVE Thanksgiving. The traditions, the pretty tables, the menu, the schedule of the day, the crisp air, the crackling morning fire, pies baking... all of it. So this year, I will not move on to Christmas, we will fully celebrate all that is Thanksgiving.
Vintage Turkey Prints, $4-6
The New "The Plan" Planning Tablet, 25 sheet tablet, $12
I've been thinking about this concept for a while. Finally, I've come up with this simple tablet that helps me to get organized for dinner parties, holidays - even home projects. Here, you can see, I've listed some items to help get me organized for Thanksgiving. I'll show more examples of how I use this soon!Is there anything better than a "Kids' Table" at Thanksgiving?
This one set like a bit of a nature hunt + craft table. Lots to see and touch.
Place settings don't have to be complex - just something simple and special.
Paperwhites are classic Holiday. They bring a fresh scent and stately life to homes during the winter months. These bulbs are extra large and a beautiful chestnut color. They will bloom tall, white blooms. I begin forcing them indoors in October, then they are the perfect gift for Thanksgiving and Holiday Parties. They take about 5-7 weeks to bloom.
I hand-stitched a little "H" on our
Hemstitch Napkins. It took about 5 minutes and gave so much charm to these simple staples.
Pies : )
Mini Leaf & Acorn Cutters easily give a classic pie a new twist.
This collection focuses quite a bit on table settings. Really, besides making sure your home is cozy and comfortable, setting the table really is the centerpiece for the holiday. I have created seven individual schemes based on Napkins and Table Linens I have available. By combining a print with a velvet ribbon, coordinating candle and little sprig of this or that, each scheme is the essence season.
