it's december already...
hard to believe it's december already! i always look forward to christmas but i still am surprised how quickly it has come. my husband and i were on our annual christmas shopping trip this past weekend. we got most of our shopping done. and now i am ready to get busy decorating our home, baking some christmas goodies, and crafting some christmas things. i like to bake and i am all about homemade but these are our only christmas goodies so far!

thankful...
i am thankful. thankful for so many good things in my life. making an entry daily to my "i am thankful for..." list this month has made me become more aware of how much i have to be grateful for and how many blessings i have in my life. being aware of what i have to be grateful for makes me realize how very many blessings i have, which, in turn, makes me more aware of how blessed i am and more grateful. and on and on... being thankful and giving thanks makes me feel much more blessed and happy!
again, happy thanksgiving! be happy and be thankful...

talking turkey...
this is a vintage lacer to stitch up your stuffed turkey before baking it! i remember my mom stitching up a turkey and i've done it too but not with one of these lacers. i've just used needle and thread. i love the color and and the detail to it! it's amazing to me how something quite ordinary is so appealing to look at. new things just don't have this look.
speaking of turkeys, i heard on the food network that to have a really moist turkey you should soak it in a brine of water (enough to cover the turkey), 2 c salt, and 1 c sugar for 12 hours. i want to try that! hope that you have a moist turkey for thanksgiving!

sharing food and joy...
these pictures are from the children's book "one little, two little, three little pilgrims" by b.g. hennessy. to me these pictures depict the sharing of food and joy at a thanksgiving feast. i love that!
i hope that we are all able to share in the food and joy of thanksgiving with our family and friends and also with those who are less fortunate than ourselves. to count our blessings and to be a blessing to others. isn't that what thanksgiving is all about?

thanksgiving greetings...
thanksgiving greetings to you... again! another thanksgiving postcard to show you today. this one is sitting on top of our breadbox in the kitchen. the color is so good and the turkeys so realistic!
i found the teapot, creamer, and sugar bowl at an antique shop in red lodge, montana when my husband and i were on our honeymoon. they are the pattern of my dishes. i call them church dishes because you used to see them at every church and have even accumulated some of tehm from a neighboring church that closed. i don't know the name of the pattern or who made them. they are plain and simple and cream in color. i love them! they're the only dishes i have and i am always on the lookout for replacements or pieces i don't have. to me they look good whether i'm serving an everyday meal or a thanksgiving feast!
