Thanks
for time to be together,
turkey, talk and
tangy weather..
for harvest stored away,
home and hearth
and holiday..
for autumn's
frosty art,
and abundance
in the heart..
for neighbors,
and November,
nice things, new things
to remember..
for kitchen,
kettle's croon,
kith and kin
expected soon..
for sizzles,
sights and sounds,
and something special
that abounds..
That spells
T H A N K S
for joy of living
and a
jolly good Thanksgiving."
Aileen Fisher, "All in a Word"

The above is my wish for you...
May you all experience
a wonderful and thankful day,
A feeling that will continue
throughout the year.
Also, I hope you enjoyed
the reveal of the Cottage dining room.
There are still some bare spots
and a few projects to be completed but,
for now,
I am thankful
that it is almost done
and that soon there will be
love and laughter
around the table.
That is the best part.
Have a
jolly good Thanksgiving
everyone!
...Judy...

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones, Judy! Your dining room is very cozy and inviting. You have so many wonderful touches. Love the print of the girls with the chickens {brings back memories}, the wee cabinet vignette with the teddy bear in front of the door, of course the china and your lovely table. All of these wonderful personal touches make your home very welcoming and thank you for sharing it all with us.

ReplyDeleteTell the Cap-man nice work!!! See you soon!! LOVE from me and the boys :)
Oh - your house is the most beautiful one in the world. You have such a clever touch with decorating - the dining room is divine. I have the exact same china cabinet as the letter "N" - except mine is painted white. A neighbor in CA had to go to assisted living and her niece was renting out her house. I asked if I could buy the china cabinet but the niece said she was leaving it for the renters to use. The renters were careless and burned the house down. The top of the china cabinet was damaged and the glass was broken and the cabinet was charred in spots. THEN the niece asked if I wanted the china cabinet - for free!!!! I hand sanded and cleaned and cleaned and sanded and painted and replaced the glass - it is one of my favorite pieces of furniture - but I would have been just as happy to buy it before the house was burned down. Enjoy your family time on Thanksgiving day.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning, Judy! I am in love with the room, the color, the decor, the charming details. Love, love, love it. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your charming room! :)

Yes, there used to be tons of Christmas linky parties years ago but now it seems that they have fallen by the way side and only a few participate in these "supposed" parties. I do know about this one and I also have a party listed on my side bar on my Christmas blog that Jann Olsen from Have a Daily Cup pf Mrs. Olsen will be hosting with several others with themes on different days...
