It's a Day of Thanksgiving!

Let us celebrate God's goodness to us! 

 We have so much to be thankful for!

Just for fun, I like to play with my little seasonal vintage knick-knacks,
like these cute little squirrrels!   Old Salt and Pepper Shakers from my shop,
hanging out with my pretty new white pumpkin.

I am thankful for my small business,  Vintage Treasures, which is so enjoyable.
   Thank you to my dear customers for your patronage!

I am thankful that I get to work at something I enjoy so much,
sharing pieces of the past, and bringing so much pleasure to others. 
It's the little things  that  really are the big things.  

  Pie time!  My grandkids gave me these new potholders!
I am thankful that they are such thoughtful young people.
I am so thankful for the abundant foods we can all enjoy.
I'm forever thankful that my Mom baked and taught me to bake!

I am thankful for my cozy home and all my pretty things.

I mix up all my autumn dishes, using similar transferware patterns 

Homer Laughlin china and novelty pieces too.

  A happy jumble of pretty things,  even if I only have a few of each.

 I  especially love this turkey plate!

Grandma didn't forget kid-friendly fall decorations too!

"How wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren
 to learn thanksgiving at an early age.  Thanksgiving opens the doors. 
  It changes a child's personality. A child is resentful, negative,    or thankful. 
  Thankful children want to give---  they radiate happiness, they draw people."
                                                                                    Sir John Templeton

I am so thankful  that God has blessed me with my sweet grandchildren.

"Thank you for the food before us,
the friends beside us,
 and the love between us."

I am thankful for the brave and dedicated military personel,
 who sacrifice so much to keep America free!

 For All We Have

                                                                               by Roger J. Robicheau

A table with chairs, that welcome sight

Our family, our friends, pure delight.

A caring kiss with a gentle smile

Each tender hug lasts that country mile.

The presence of love so fills the air

This gift of God brings our hearts so near

Reflections of past bring nurtured thoughts

Great visions come by, what life has taught

In thankful ways we embrace this day

And often think of loved ones away

Those serving us proud are often gone

But their spirit remains, closely drawn

Our nation should praise each special one

For all we have's through what they've done.

The freedom to have Thanksgiving Day

Keeps certain plates bare, please truly pray.

In 1863, Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday of November

 to be a national Day of Thanksgiving.

 

May your hearts and homes be filled with

 the warmth of Thanksgiving.

Love, Linda
