Doing the prep well in advance makes the whole day...fun~ner! I love to plan the menu, read recipes, make place cards, iron cloth napkins, set the table in a new and surprising way, this work is filled with such peace and delight for this wonderful holiday.
And all the while....the family has know idea that I am deep in holiday mode! Thanksgiving just might possibly be the best holiday around.
Pumpkin soup crocks....
If you have heard the news that there is a shortage of pumpkin puree this year...don't fret...it is easy~peasy to make your own...and it makes your home smell wonderful...
I am doing squash colored napkins this year...found this pack at Home Goods...
Another crock...maybe I will put the cranberries in there...
What the who~ha....this squirrel nutcracker has found my burlap acorns...
Pretend squirrel and pretend acorn together again!
Platter....empty now...but not for long...
Cocktail napkins for pre~turkey tid~bits...
Even with my Thanksgiving preparations well in hand...I have an upcoming bazaar on the brain...
I have been painting red burlap...
And remembering how much I love jingle bells....
Yep, love 'em...
These are bound for my ETSY shop...
And you can bet that they will be jingling~all~the~way!
I am thankful for this opportunity to serve my family...
little do they know what a blast I have planning for this special day.
Do you love the Thanksgiving preparations too?

Hi there everyone ~ To answer the question about the pumpkin crocks...I found them at Pottery Barn about 4 or so years ago. They are so fun and really give the Thanksgiving table a lot of harvest~y spirit.
