Thanksgiving Decor

Halloween & Christmas

are such big, fun holidays

that it seems

Thanksgiving often gets

crowded out.

Not at our house!

Thanksgiving is hubby's

FAVORITE HOLIDAY--

probably because it's so

uncomplicated & peaceful.

So-o-o, no matter the temptation,

I make a sincere effort every

year to hold back the Christmas decor

for the simplicity & gratitude

Thanksgiving evokes.

If you've read my blog before, you may recall

reading about this chalkboard with it's Halloween poem. 

So, I just erased & changed over to

a message appropriate for Thanksgiving!
(This time I used a chalkboard marker. 
Even though it's harder to erase, I loved using it!)

 

Some of the garland pieces are the same ones

used on the Halloween mantle, but I added

pine sprigs, glitter pine cones, & white lights.

(This is what it looks like at night.)

 

I checked today, & Costco still has these wonderful

battery-operated wax candles

with timers.

I LOVE them!

And a set of 4 is only about $20--

plus they are on coupon ($4 off)!

 HURRY!

Another area I love to decorate is

my entry way chest 

& mirror.

I used some gold letters

from Restoration Hardware

in the garland

to spell our family name.

More Thanksgiving fun to come!
