ReplyDeleteOh Dearest...HAPPY...HAPPY THANKSGIVING SWEET FRIEND!
ReplyDeleteYou have taken my breath away with your SPECTACULAR home. Your checker board floor is CRAZY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! You have such a fabulous sense of design.
You have made it through parent teacher interviews ...YIPPEEE....and this perfectly WONDERfilled celebration looms on the horizon. Will there be many at your table or will it be an intimate meal with your dearest?
Either way you will R E S T and regain your strength.
My son is home for a few days and I am in my glory, savoring every moment I get. He just informed us that he will be spending January in India on a missions trip. I know this is a great opportunity, and this is where God wants him...but I will miss him.
Just booked Liz's flight home...on the 18th the F U N will commence.
Well dear one get better and may your smiles be in abundance this holiday weekend...Hugs...xoxox...R

We take the time everyday to express things we are thankful for and how wonderful to have a whole day. Your kitchen and dining room is wonderful. May you have a rich Thanksgiving this year. Truly, I am thankful for all of my blogging friends who so enrich my life.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anita, so great you have a day of and Thanksgiving-holiday is coming soon! I will take time of with my hubby tuesday till thursday, for a mini-spa-vacation! Am so exited and looking forward to this, after so much stress. YOu have SNOW? OMG, here. it's still fall and today even blue skies. But snow is lovely, especially the first snow. I can see you going to school with a fur-hat! Have a fab day sweet friend! xx
ReplyDeleteYour comment has brought tears of gratitude to my eyes. I suppose this is the season for gratitude, right?
ReplyDeleteBeing creative is a most wonderous thing but sometimes one can feel a little lonely so generous, sweet comments from busy, creative types as YOURSELF are most welcome.
I do NOT have an online shop but plan to open one during the following year. I have only been blogging since June this year so I would like to establish myself a little out there....
If you have any tips, incidentally, I would love to hear from you.
How are you faring, dear friend? I adore this time of year (birthday, wedding anniversary, CHRISTMAS, etc.,) but find we have to pace ourselves as a family to get through it intact physically.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, your thoughts.
Be happy, dearest Anita.
THANK YOU! you cast your magic wand and lift my heart. I adore the room with the painting of the girl.

hugs from Teresa in CA
Happy Thanksgiving to you, dear friend! What a beautiful post. I am focusing on enjoying the "Haves" in my life this Thanksgiving rather than the "Have-nots". It's an exhilarating and liberating thing to do- being thankful.
ReplyDeleteI hope your Thanksgiving is the best!

Hello and Happy almost Thanksgiving beautiful Anita!!!
ReplyDeleteThis week is already flying by!!! Our weather is cooling off and the warmer autumn days are behind us now as winter is beginning to set in!!!
I have been buying lots of vintage clothing lately; I love vintage pieces and their one of a kind uniqueness!!!
I love that they have history; I always imagine a story attached like Stevie Nicks performed in a Fleetwood Mac concert in a flowy top I bought!!! :-)
Hoping you're having a great day!!!
Sending hugs!!! TTYS!!!
Shannon
Anita, Your dining room is amazing! It is my favorite of all those pictured! May you have a joyous Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Anita, I am taken peachless and breathless with the beauty over here, your header speaks to me, your photos so inspiring...But the soul of this post is BEST of all your DINNING ROOM! I am in awww! at the real history you gave it in a very liveable space.
ReplyDeleteI am truly without words other then it reaches the depths of what I am all about.
There is no other room on this post that is so Authentic with such a lived in history that you my dear can love, a room of your own, a place of thanks giving and all the other days of the year.
Thank you my friend for sharing your best beauty and that is of your home.
Anita, I see the curtain you speack of so openly with me in emails, the one that hides the flat screen TV! Not to worry my dear, after seeing yours I would love to do the same, perhaps I will find a better place and mount mine to the wall for the same effect as you have achieved without a thought, your hubbys demand of a Tv on the wall was a great move for your beautiful effect of creating a French Theatre' right in front where everyone can enjoy once again another curtain call, the crest placed above it is the crowning glory of your theatre'...Bravo my dear and the beauty you magically create in all things French!
xoxo
Bisous, au revoir pour l'instant

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving and a wonderful 'little holiday to you! I hope you relaxed and enjoyed yourself all day, drawing, writing playing the harp, and just enjoying a perfect day.
Thank you for coming to visit! I cannot wait to see your post about handmade and home made gifts, I too think they are the best! I am always happy when my family and friends get their boxes of christmas treats...they are so happy and as I said many would not do it for themselves.
I will be baking and making lots of candy, so you will have to come by and check them out.
Have a wonderful weekend and thanksgiving enjoy Ruben and your friends.
Xoxoxo Elizabeth
Happy Thanksgiving, Anita!
ReplyDeleteIt was so hard to get back to reality after vacation, so it has taken me a while to get back to blogging! It was a wonderful trip though. I didn't want it to end!
How have you been? I hope you are able to have the most relaxing, wonderful weekend. How is your Etsy shop?
I haven't been able to focus on my own projects since before the trip. Maybe this weekend I can finally focus on art! Today I started to not feel very well, so I hope I don't get worse...especially to be able to taste all that food tomorrow!
Sending a warm hug to you!

But than Elisabeth said we are going ! She wanted to hug her sister !
So we went in two cars .
And it was like we were going on a holiday .......
We were all so excited and happy !
How would Anna's face look like when she would se all of us !
We stopped many times on the way for our darling Eva and she did SO WELL all the way . She never cried ! All weekend !
Anna jumped sky high when she saw all of us .
It was a wonderful experience to see where she is living .And to meet the family she is working for .

Mmmmmmmmm...W O W !!!! Those were the tastiest pumpkin CHOCOLATE squares EVER! And for you to leave me this tasty little morsel is just...well...sweet! But then that's just what you are...S W E E T!
ReplyDeleteHappy day dear one! Well, the boys delivered my pretty little tree this morning, and then, after much convincing...sawed... chiseled...and crammed it into one of my big old garden urns...hmmm...ever so lovely :)
Stripped off the bottom boughs and scattered them here and there.
Tomorrow I shall string a bobble or two from those snowy white branches, and hang a wreath or two in the windows.
Ry stayed on a couple of days longer, but really does have to skedattle tomorrow...happily he will return in three weeks :)
Well, time for a cuppa something HOT and another one of those yummy little treats...then, I must snuggle under the covers...sleep well dear friend...xoxo...Rosie
Your house looks amazing. So French and calming.look forward to seeing more. We are busily doing reports and only have 2 1/2 weeks left before our summer holidays. Exciting but sad as I say goodbye to the sweetest kids. They are so adorable, I will miss them. Hope your time is going well. Much love to you my inspiring friend. Fiona

It's no longer Thanksgiving as I read this post and gaze over the lovely tables you've shown, but it's still a tremendous time to be GIVING THANKS since it's the time we recognize the birth of Christ. Your home is so lovely Anita...and so are the lovely tables you've shared here with us. Hugs from afar...friend! xoxo
