Teas and T's: I Gave Thanks

Thoughts and Quotes: Very thankful, incredibly grateful, unbelievably blessed. Unknown

And I hope you are as well. Even with the China virus and all its offspring, our rotten economy, politicians trying to change us to Socialism, a biased judicial branch, our country flooded with thousands more illegals to care for, and violence wreaking havoc, we still live in a great country. We just need to get back on course where we feel proud to say, "I'm an American."

Thankful for thrifting: Yes, I've been stopping in when I'm running errands. Just see what I've found.

$1 for the pair

Signed mug $2 - $8 on Etsy

Stampin' Up set - $3

Forgot I already had one.

But they're different shades of brown

$5 tablecloth - folded in 1/4's - doesn't it remind you of Monet's gardens at Giverny?

$6 - I would chosen other colors, but I love the little "ruffled skirt."

Red tag 75% off items, so 25 cents each - 3 of these to use for mini-bouquets

4 of these- dessert size

5 dinner plates - they look like the ones I gave David

And four shallow salad bowls to match

6 of these

Now I have three shades of peach - surely there can't be more

Thankful for Aldi: Where I found three-wick candles for Christmas at $4.29 each.

Thankful for flowers: A just because gift from Niece Leslie.

Thankful for my Lil' Bro and Lil' Sis': For spending $9+ on shipping to send tomatoes so I could make Fried Green Tomatoes.

An encore the first day, because one plateful was not enough.

Thankful for talented friends: Who make handmade Thanksgiving cards.

Thankful I have goals: And that I'm feeling motivated to get back to work. I thought it would be a perfect time to do the Thanksgiving photos for the Everyday Celebrations book. I still need to make Grasshopper Pie and Beef Stew (darn! just did that when David was here), then I'll have eight of the twelve finished except for invitations and menus.

I wasn't thinking, and too late. I should have put the mashed potatoes between the peas and dressing. Too much white in one area. Oh, well.

Everyone has their own traditional recipes for Thanksgiving. So I might show my fun decorations I've picked up at thrift stores (turkey salt and peppers came from Cracker Barrel), and the fun little church Martha gave me and I keep gluing back together. Got the roof on crooked this time.
