I still haven’t decided how to decorate my table for Thanksgiving this year. Actually, that’s not completely true, I recently bought a short money tree that I am in love with and was hoping to find a second one at the local nursery to pair together as part of a centerpiece design… but alas, they …
…it’s actually a really random assortment of photos from our day; many of Delilah because she’s just constantly being cute… and we were playing, of course. She caught me spitting a nut out in the kitchen sink {yuck, nuts in cake, blech} and then did the exact same thing just minutes later in the living …
Yesterday morning, just after waking, I walked sleepy-faced and messy-haired out to the living room as I normally do, where I was greeted with a big smile and an even bigger hug from our housekeeper, Alba. This is not unusual however, Alba and I embrace in a warm hug and cheek kiss every two weeks …
I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, I don’t even know where to begin. I think first and foremost, I’d like to say Thank You to each and every one of you for visiting me here every day just to see what I’m doing or wearing or making. It’s because of you …
Before we get all Christmas-crazy, let’s remember that Thanksgiving is just around the corner! And as much as I want my husband to hang little white lights all over our house, I want to focus for just a few more weeks, on pretty warm colors and well, food. I’ve done a bit of diy Thanksgiving …
What You’ll Need * 2 Large {squished} white pumpkins {I don’t know the actual name of these, do comment if you do!}, 2 medium/round pumpkins, a few small white pumpkins. I tend to buy a few extra pumpkins during Halloween that I don’t carve so I can use them through November for Thanksgiving. Spray painting …
What I Wore …not much time to do a proper outfit photoshoot that day really but . . .* Corey Lynn Calter Victoria lace shift dress in bone …from GILT ….but you can get one here now {the back is a v – which you can actually wear in the front if you wanted} * …
I gave you sneak peek at the elements here and including my Easy DIY Tablecloth …and even then I had no idea how they’d all come together {though I did know I wanted to cover the skull that belongs to the antler}. That’s much how I work. I have ideas …I grab handfuls of items …
Of course I couldn’t choose just one shot of the dogs in all their Thanksgiving glory for this post …that wouldn’t be like me at all. Please excuse their “dog parts”. I’m against modesty patches just as the husband is against removing their balls. Yes, it seems as though I’m talking about balls on Thanksgiving. …
Luckily I have a stepdad who has an abundance of cow skulls and horns lying around …and because my mom doesn’t want “dead animals” in her house, I get them all 😉 Thanks Barry! I’ll be using my DIY Holiday Tablecloth as a base and possibly the ikat blanket {details below} as a runner, with …
See the finished look: MY THANKSGIVING TABLETOP DECOR ~ IKAT & ANTLERS While at the bargain yardage shop before Halloween, looking for the perfectly creepy grandma lace for my ghostly haunted mansion tabletop, I found this ultra fall-looking creamy off-white jacquard fabric I thought would make a great Thanksgiving tablecloth. Though the edges are unfinished, …
