Thanksgiving is a hard one fro me to decorate for. I always run out of time. I wanted to make an acorn garland, but I don't think it will happen. I always have notion of a woodland animal/pinecone/forest type thing, but I seem to lose steam. Lester came to us recently and is proudly on display. The little sheep are meant for Christmas, but they were found by the girls so they came out early and they have to go right there, on the very edge, and you can't move them, ever. Lester is a bit fancy with a very small amount of glitter is on him, which I think he finds embarrassing, actually.
And my minimal display. It'd pretty much empty, I realize. This shelf has such potential but is perilously close to the sofa "jumping zone". In all this rain the girls need to run and jump and they do this on the couch. Feet are supposed to stay down, but when Sadie is flying, she says, they need to go up, and then the shelf gets in the way sometimes. . .
This is a vintage postcard I just printed super big and mounted on board. I love the turkey images on these old cards, and have always thought the whole turkey thing was sad and funny because, you know, that kid is going to eat him.
