I wanted to show you a few pictures before all the Christmas prep starts- I know its already started for most of you - but not here! Knowing I was going to have that many houseguests showering in our one bathroom, which is being remodeled so there are no towel holders or hooks up - I made each guest (and DS) a towel with his or her name embroidered on it and bought one of those old fashioned drying racks. They were instructed to hang up their towel and reuse it!
They all seemed happy with their little "favors" and it did keep my bathroom and laundry a LOT more organized.
My friend Karen who is very Martha-like made us this wonderful Cornucopia out of refrigerated breadsticks:
Isn't it awesome? The little pilgrims on either side I made years ago and lost them. This summer I was cleaning out the attic and found them in a box tucked in corner. I was so thrilled! I love these little things! Here is a closer look -
Okay, Thanksgiving officially over - let the Christmas festivities begin!
Cards, tree, shopping, baking...... where do I start?????!!!!
Have a pieceful day!

Love the great towels. That was such a terrific idea!
The little pilgrims are adorable. A friend of mine did some for me years ago when she was doing a lot of tole painting and they look very similar. I still display them every Thanksgiving.
Yes....let the festivities begin.
What a cool idea for the towels! And so funny you went to the parade. We were just talking on Thanksgiving (while watching the parade) and wondering how people can be cooking their Thanksgiving dinners while they're at the parade. Did you make your turkey ahead of time?
Oh I loved when the college kids would come, they were always so much fun. I love the towls what a great idea. and your pilgrims, how could one not love their cute little faces!
It's a creative idea to make a cornucopia from the refrigerated breadsticks. Is there a preservative of any kind on it?
The towels are a brilliant idea! I bet they loved them, Caryn.
I wonder what ever happened to my wooden pilgrims and Indians that I made about 24 years ago? Maybe I need to dive into the attic!
Very cute cornucopia!!! I LOVE those towels. Just adorable!!!! Who wouldnt like those?
