Etspiration Wednesday: Thanksgiving

Well September is upon us and it's starting to feel like fall here in Oregon.  The spiders are out, the weather is getting a bit nippy in the morning, and our micro summer is on its last legs. 

I can't wait for Thanksgiving.  It's not the turkey.  It's not the stuffing (although my mom's stuffing is amazing).  It's the cranberry sauce.  lol!  I can't get enough of it and I'm the only person who eats it!  More for me!

Thanksgiving is not our most extensive holiday in terms of stencils we create, but we do have some nice ones.  Why don't you check them out along with some sweet stuff I found on Etsy??

Pilgrim's Progress is the book Jo and her sisters are obsessed with in Little Women.  I read a lot as a kid and Little Women was one of those books I seemed to want to re-read over and over.  I also loved the movie version that came out when I was younger with Winona Ryder and a young Christian Bale as Laurie (/swoon).  Anyway, there is such a Thanksgiving feel to both Pilgrim's Progress and Little Women.  They're full of reverence for the ideal of family, of giving, and of gratitude.

I just think this acorn pillow in 4A is beautiful.  I love that there's a hint of burlap for an aged look, but it's not the chief material.  The chair is gorgeous too!

That's it for this week, got a splendid feature for you on Friday!
