The Art of Gratitude

As we prepare for our annual Thanksgiving, we look forward to spending time with family and friends enjoying a wonderful meal together. Sometimes I don't slow down long enough to be thankful and Thanksgiving is a great way to stop and give thanks to God and for His abundant blessings.

When you set your Thanksgiving table this year, why not include a printable list for your guests place setting. Consider having everyone spend a few moments jotting down (and sharing) what it is they are thankful for.

For the printable, click on the photo above. Take time to read the blog interview and watch the included video before scrolling down for the printable.

Needles-n-Pins Sticheries: A Vintage Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is getting closer for all the USA folks out there. Are you getting ready for it? Got your turkey's yet? How many of you have something else besides turkey? We are going to look back on the "by gone" years of Thanksgiving and see what we can find in the Etsy stores for some vintage decorating ideas for that Thanksgiving dinner table. 

Here we go.......

Oh how many of you remember these!! I DO!! We use to have the one's with the red tail and we put them at each place setting. ElysianVintageMN has these available and you could use them on your table setting too. :)

Definitely have to have a turkey table cloth and shabbyshopgirls has this one you can put on your table. 

Every Thanksgiving table should have a turkey centerpiece and this one fromTwistedVictoria has one for you. This one has all the colors you need too. :)

You will need a platter for that turkey. Oh my!!!!! This turkey platter from lanasvintagetreasure is just like the one I had for years! It is the exact same one! LOL! 

There are so many more things you will need for your Thanksgiving Day dinner table, and these are just a few that you may use. Hope everyone has a great dinner!

Eat lots! !
