Hello everyone! I have been busy these last few days, and have missed visiting with you. I have some "after" pictures of my gardens to share (look below this post) and also some Thanksgiving gifts that I received in the mail.
My friend Julie surprised me with some Thanksgiving treats. A pretty wreath, sweet Autumn figurines, a scent sachet and stickers.
She also included these wonderful vintage postcards.
The wreath is the perfect fit for under this hanging lantern. I put the little figurines in the center of the wreath. Thank you for everything, Julie!
I also received a few gifts from my friend, Kimberly. Two pretty hankies with very delicate leaf patterns.
Kimberly also sent me a two beautiful vintage postcards. Thank you so much, Kimberly!
I thought I would display all of the Thanksgiving postcards on my fireplace mantle.
I just tucked them in around the other decorations.
Thank you for looking at my new gifts!
Wow! Your place really looks like Thanksgiving, and what wonderful gifts you have received. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli! Wow, I absolutely adore all those vintage postcards! What a pity that we do not at all celebrate Thanksgiving here in Germany. I have been busy these days, too! Time flies and days are getting shorter and shorter... ;-((
ReplyDeleteNow, I need to look at your garden pictures in the post below!
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteThe vintage postcards are adorable.
About your braclet. I would of never known why you didn't wear it! You must of been supper dupper extra tiny! Now you look like your thin. :)
Dear Kelli! I just tried to email you twice but it says "undelivered mail". Is there anything wrong with your email account?

ReplyDeleteGrade: A+ for knowing when to take a break! I applaud you for that. Thanks for the little visit to my blog during my break. Lovely hankies. I have quite a few from my great-aunt. True treasures!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found the perfect spot for the wreath and figurines. Great way to display your postcards.
I was sure I knew where those hankies were but obviously had done some rearranging and now can't remember the new spot for them. I'll find them though!

ReplyDeleteI'd get an F-. Blogging is addictive!
During her recent visit to the States, my grandma brought up a bag of Thanksgiving cards that she had been using to decorate in her room down in Mexico. I wasn't quite sure how I could use them, but your mantel idea is perfect! Thanks, and the best to your family tomorrow.
