organic autumn collections I cant seem to let go of! It still has not snowed here (it's a warm 60 today) and technically winter does not start until December 21. So i'm hugging onto the crunchy browness of fall for as long as I can.

I had a wonderful thanksgiving and hope you did too! Mine was full of making fresh centerpieces at a local floral shop I free lance for and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with my girls.

ps- dont forget, the fern giveaway ends on friday.

pps- rabbit rabbit and happy december!

In the Spirit of Thanksgiving

I love the thanksgiving message in the middle. Wishing you all a warm and happy Thanksgiving dear friends!
"Let us give thanks for what we are and for the circumstances God has given us for our personal journey through mortality."

I am thankful for my beautiful family that warms my heart every minute of the day and that we have our needs filled daily both temporally and spiritually. What are you thankful for?

thanksgiving week wishes

I have a thing for antique postcards. Especially ones that have written messages from a different life time.

To Miss Jose Dalton. Best Wishes From Herman

Dear Elsia, We butchered today (3 hogs). One weighed 325, 360, 390. Katie is home, yet is going away sat. I thank you very much for napkins, they were very nice. Aurthur and Leslie were in Albany a couple days. Wish U were here, we would grease you up in great shape. It was lovely here today, we have to brag of it when we get a nice day. Love to all, Morlier Laslier. -1911

To: Miss E Halkin. Have not forgotten you. Will write you in a few days. With love, Sincerely, E. N. -1908

and two from the apparently humorous Mrs Davis:

Save the drum stick for me. Mrs Davis- 1908

Did your corn equal this? Mrs Davis. Hurrah for Taft!!!
(Taft had just won the 1908 presidential election).

from NYPL. For many more postcards, just search thanksgiving.

press release

I was wondering why designs were flying out of my shop recently! I am honored:
Etsy Take Five Tuesday on Decor 8 blog.

I love the give thanks banner pick from StoriaHome. So delightful for the holiday!
mmm now I am in the mood for thanksgiving. I want to hang this lovely french wreath on my door from makalewakan. And these natural seed pods with sunrise felted wool from woolicious nestled in and amongst the table settings.

Check on me again soon! I have blisters on my fingers from my hot hot hot glue gun. I created 10 new designs for a local craft fair this week (my first!) and to add to my store soon. And the yankees win! Goodnight
