Show & Tell Saturday: Thanksgiving Decorations

November 22, 2014 By Carole

I love to decorate my house for fall. I have leaf-y garlands and pumpkins and quilted things. I have some things that are specific for Halloween but I have quite a few things that are specific for Thanksgiving and those are my favorite.

I have a few signs and a lot of ceramic turkeys. I have a thankful banner for the mantel and I think shed antlers go great with the Thanksgiving theme so those are on the mantel, too. I have some quilted Thanksgiving wall hangings and wine glasses that I only use this time of year. I really think setting the stage for a holiday makes a big difference when it comes to celebrating and enjoying the season and because I love Thanksgiving so much I love all of these decorations.

One week from today, though, they will all be tucked away for another year. I plan to spend this week enjoying them as much as I can.

    The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is mighty short this year — eek!

    It all looks so festive and welcoming. I can see that having a holiday at your house is great! And that Thankful banner is wonderful.

    Your house looks comforting and welcoming! The time between Halloween and Thanksgiving is so short, the decorations must be enjoyed for a week or two before the next (big) holiday comes along.

    I love your ceramic turkeys! I don’t have any Thanksgiving-specific decorations, but I really should get a few so I can make my mantel look as lovely as yours.

    So pretty! Looks very warm and inviting. I don’t have many Thanksgiving decorations, but my favorite has to be the turkey made from a pine cone and construction paper that one of the girls made in elementary school.

    Really pretty, especially the ceramic turkeys. I wish I did more of this kind of thing. We only ever get to a few Christmas decorations in our home.

    Thanksgiving too often gets lost–love that you are treating it with the respect it deserves.

    your decorations look so warm and thankful! seems like the “fall” season was way too short this year (which likely means winter is going to hang around way too long!)

    Your decorations look so cozy and inviting! I have a small group of turkeys and pumpkins that I love having out during the fall. I even have a set of lovely ceramic pilgrims! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and I love surrounding myself with symbols of the holiday.

    Thanksgiving gets pretty much ignored in the commercial world….it’s straight from Halloween to Christmas but I love my Thanksgiving décor too. Yours is wonderful! Love it!

    Love your mantel decorations and the ceramic turkeys! Shed antlers at a homey feel.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
