Thanksgiving Prep

 I know you think it is too early for this but I have so much to do between now and Thanksgiving, I am trying to get little details out of the way.  I bought two huge tables and lots of chairs to host this years dinner so I need more decorations than usual.  And since I make a lot of things by hand, I need to start early.  I found this wonderful amber glass squirrel container to hold butter.

 It's from France and still has the original sticker. A Vallerysthal Potieux piece.

 And I found this Villypuyt butter tray turkey top.  Now I just need to find a base.

 And I found 15 of these heavy copper napkin rings on ebay.  Someone else hosted large Thanksgiving gatherings too!

On another note, I am still making mirror chains.  I found this glass witch to use as a pendant for one.
 I also got this wonderful dragonfly too.

 I already have some glass beads to use that are in the same color scheme. I can't wait to make this one.

 I was surprised by a quick shower this morning.  We are hot, humid and the ground is dry.

We might get a bit of Fall weather this weekend.  I am looking forward to the break from the heat!

I applaud your early planning and how beautifully you do things.. I am trying to enjoy my summer days, even if some are too hot and others threaten us with storms. I love the flowers and greenery of this time of year and it always seems to go by too quickly.

I wish I could be so organized. But I am also grateful that I do not have to host Thanksgiving dinner for 15. I wouldn't know where to begin... You find the greatest things!

You have some great shops your way. I love the pictures of the freshly rained on stones.

I love that glass witch and the dragonfly!!! Beautiful! The napkin rings too. I'm already planning for Christmas, I don't think it's that early! :)

it is never too early to prepare for a great celebration. Although now is too early for Christmas.

LOVE the witch by the way.

To be honest, we should all be much earlier to plan things than we are :-)

Nice copper napkin rings!

Have a great day!
