Link to I’m Thankful for a Thanksgiving Checklist!

When I entertain I love to use all of my special platters and dishes. I love to fuss over my family and I love to set a very special table. I don’t consider it extra work or a hardship or stressful. It’s my way of telling my family and friends just how special they are.

But again…..the Holiday and family and friends are what’s important….not the china or the food. So if you aren’t the type of person to pull off a sit down dinner with all the decorations don’t beat yourself up. There are only so many Martha Stewarts around. And she has a staff to help her!

ENJOY your meal…… sit and talk…..

It finally feels like fall and my enthusiasm for pumpkins, spices, and holiday decor has disappeared.

For two weeks random pumpkins and preserves have been sitting in my entryway and family room. I have no inspiration to make it pretty.

Today I sat in my living room just looking… hoping that eventually I would feel a spark of interest.

I walked away knowing a few things.

1.)

I am not loving my hurricanes with spools or my vase filled with pinecone spray.

2.)

I love preserves.

3.)

Don’t judge her barrel-body. It’s the holidays and she’s had too many sweets.

Piper is just as uninspired as I am.

So leaving fall decor behind, we are heading to Grandma’s house and possibly a thrift store.

November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.
-  Clyde Watson
