A Happy, Healthy Thanksgiving

November 25, 2011

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

I have so much to be thankful for, on both sides of the ocean. Loving families, wonderful friends, and sweet readers who leave cheerful notes.

Wishing you happiness, health and time enjoyed with your loved ones today and for the rest of the weekend.

Here are a few peeks of our Thanksgiving table before the big meal!

Those old boards are the old floor in my parents’ barn. My dad pulled them out and dried them out with a heat gun (that man is collecting so many tools out there!), and cut them to fit the table. Then I traced out a leave shape and painted glittery champagne leaves. So simple laid over a makeshift green printed linen runner. Serene and happy, with lots of space for lively conversations across the table.

The glasses are a family heirloom given to my dad – they have all different birds and silver rims at the top. Perfect for Thanksgiving!

My mother has a collection of silver napkin rings of all different shapes and patterns. They looked lovely mismatched around the table with linen napkins.

I hope all you Americans (or ex-pats!) had a cozy day with your family. See you next week – I’ll be back on the other side of the ocean!
