I always have.
I love history, so any holiday that's rooted in deep traditions is one that pulls at my heart strings.
The whole feeling of gratitude that surrounds this holiday is the cherry on top for me.
Thankfulness is a gift you choose for yourself. No one can take it away.
As part of our own family tradition we made a thankful tree using chalkboard tags (Willow House). I asked my kiddos to really think about what they're thankful for - and I wrote down exactly what they said - friends, family, our doggies, our home, legos and dolls. They have a lot to be thankful for.
The black and white Indian sketch is a local find - Street Scene ($3). Everything else I already had.
it looks perfect- i like the natural simplicity! :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Simple yet warm and inviting. I love Thanksgiving too. I don't really decorate for it, I just leave the fall decor out (taking away all the obvious Halloween pieces).

Love the earthy, rustic, thankful vibe! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is simply stunning! I love love love the faux taxidermy horse! I would LOVE to decorate for Thanksgiving, but we literally just moved into our first house over the weekend, so first I have to focus on unpacking before decorating!! I'm really looking forward to the Holidays next year so I can take full advantage of owning my own home & being able to decorate with whatever I want!!
