thanksgiving

since i did absolutely nothing to decorate for halloween this year, i decided to be a little festive for thanksgiving, and put a little pizazz into my decorating.
this is my front porch. i had to go "borrow" a pumpkin from someone else's front porch, then gathered branches of different kinds of berries to put in my basket. i had some mums that were still kind of pretty, so i cut them and put them in the basket, too. then all of the squash that didn't get picked, kind of looked like gourds, so i used them, too. (gotta use what you can find.)

just another turkey.


the only "thanksgiving" pillow i've made

i decided to decorate my mantle, again, only this time with a fall theme.

sometimes we have to be reminded to have 'gratitude'
(we have soooo much!)

(the whole mantle)

always have to have a cornucopia~ shows the bounties of life we have!

my "big" purchase in st. george this month
( the platter, not the pilgrims)

a table runner that i finally finished, after 3 years in the making.

so anyway... my house feels kind of festive right now, but in few days, it will be time to take it all down and start on christmas.

"not what we have
but what we enjoy
constitutes our abundance."

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
