Thanksgiving

"I am grateful for what I am
and have. My thanksgiving
is perpetual." 
           ~Henry David Thoreau


   Here in Canada it is Thanksgiving weekend and I am looking forward to time with family and friends! I am not really one for Fall decor largely because I spend the first month of Autumn clinging to summer with all my willpower! Once October rolls around though I am generally resigned to the change in season and ready to celebrate it a little. This year I bought some tiny pumpkins and spent an afternoon "playing" with them. My efforts resulted in a lot of paint drips and spilt glitter but I managed to make something whimsical to display for Thanksgiving. If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen the tiny pumpkin coach I made for my niece. :) I also came across a lovely vintage basket at an antique mall recently and decorated it with silk ribbons, pearls, and handmade flowers. I am not an orange girl so everything is pastel and pretty (well what else would you expect from me really??). I hope you are all having a marvellous weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!
