Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: A Thanksgiving Poem

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all the blessings we have. Personally I am thankful everyday for the blessing I have...a wonderful family.....wonderful friends...and just being alive. So on this special day of Thanks I thought I would share a poem by Joanna Fuchs with all of you. :)

 

  Thanksgiving Feasting
When the Halloween pumpkins are gone,
And the leaves have all fallen to ground,
When the air has turned windy and cold,
Then Thanksgiving will soon be around.

Thoughts of loved ones all feasting together,
Pleasant pictures from past times appear
To dwell in each heart and each mind--
Then Thanksgiving is finally here!

The kitchen has scrumptious aromas,
The dining room looks oh, so fine,
Decorations with pilgrims and turkeys,
And now we are ready to dine!

First the napkins are placed on our laps;
Now the prayer for the meal to be blessed,
Then we stuff the good food in our tummies,
And we hope for it all to digest!      

So if you are like me and eat wayyyyyyyy to much you will agree on wanting it all to digest! I hope each and everyone of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving. And if you are traveling to family and friends please be safe! :)

Jacquie's Up-Cycle Nation: Cozy Up

The chill has finally reached me here in Galveston and now I can join the world in layering on the blankets and cozying up by the fire.  Vintage quilts and woolen blankets are the easiest way to add recycled charm and warmth to your home.

 

November 30, 2013, is national "shop local" day so be sure to support your local antique dealers and search out vintage quilts with community roots.  But if you can't find what you're looking for in your town,  these Etsy vintage shops have you covered.

 

 

 DairyFarmAntiques Is a trip down memory lane, filled with vintage goodies to inspire tales of Christmas past.

For everything masculine chic turn to fe2oxide.  In addition to fabulous wool blankets this shop offers unique finds for the industrialist on your list.

Dreamy quilts and blankets can be found alongside vintage fashion and accessories at drowsySwords. This shop has something for every vintage lover! 

Striking patterns, easy care, and affordability are bringing afghans into vintage vogue.  These labors of love add instant cozy to the cold winter nights ahead.  Grab this stunner at VintagethatsMintage!

Lisabretrostyle2 offers a nice selection of woolen blankets as well as a bevvy of vintage goods for every nook and cranny of your home. 

For more fab vintage warmth on Etsy search vintage quilt or vintage wool blanket and be dazzled by the recycled beauty made generations ago.

LOVE  &  UP-CYCLE NATION!!
