Hi all! I want to wish you a super duper, yummy morsel filled Thanksgiving! Whether you are voyaging into the world, or staying cozy at home and taking dream-ships to other places in your imagination, I hope you soak up every ounce of lovely moments with those you love…
I am heading out of town for the holiday, but will be back to get ready for the super busy week to come. Monday November 30th begins A Peek Inside my home(s) and such. An open house week of sorts, which I have been preparing to share with you since August, so I am excited. Plus I am stocking the shop sometime between Friday and Tuesday ( I will let you know when I do) with all sorts of creature goodies.
I made sure to pop lots of cards and other tid-bits into the shop while I am gone. Gone for a whole maybe 36 hours 😉
So, I am unhitching my wagon and heading to see my beautiful familia…
While Mister Lovee stays. Yes, I am off on my own. Mister Lovee and I have so much family and so many commitments (I don't know how our lives got so busy and packed) that this year, he must stay and party with his side of the family. Also, I don't want to leave my furry babies alone so, one of us has to stay behind.
It's okay. What is it that they say about distance and growing fondness? Plus, there are so many people in my screaming world of Latinos where I am headed, I won't have time to miss Mister (will I?).
My car has been serviced, gifts for Nana, Aunt Denise and Mammie tucked away, and I am packed and ready to go (I am such a fibber, I ain't packed, and I still have 3 cakes cooling before I can frost them)…
It's time to get gussied up so we can join around a table…
To give thanks for our country, our world, our lives, our loved ones, our blessings and more…
Off I go…
Make sure to wave if our wagons happen to pass each other out there in the big huge world. And, send me some good vibes while I go out and share the road with a bunch of fellow wackadoodles, won't ya?
I hope my driver hasn't had too much shroom nog 😉
Much love & thank you ever so much for meeting me at "A Fanciful Twist" every so often.
I am greatly thankful for you, whether you say hello in typed word or with a silent visit, I am thankful for you. Truly.
🖤 ,V
See you sooooon 😉
ps: The new House Beautiful issue is delightful (Dec/Jan 2010), and has a great section on 4 big design styles. The New Victorians style lives in my home for sure, although my homes are so eclectic, I think there are tidbits of all 4 styles. I can't wait for more sizes of the fab lamps shown to arrive at Mothology in March!! Yummy goodies!
pss: Oh and, even if you don't celebrate the American Thanksgiving Holiday, you are still included in my little Thankful post ;)
we dont celebrate thanks giving here but i just think it is a wonderful tradition for all of america…probably cant be thankful for my next statement but…. i am thankful for the $4000 that has been paid to me for my christmas break…it has got to last til next feb though so i guess i shouldnt get so excited!
thanks to you for such a wonderful blog and allowing us to share a small snippet of your life. the treasures you have sent me this past year have been magical and make me smile as i look at them each day (more than once a day)
you are so unique, you have the ability to take us all to a space where time stands still and imaginaiton runs wild and the inner child is free to be whatever it desires…thank you thank you thank you

I don’t celebrate it but thanks for your wishes and happy thanksgiving to you …
Love this spread, as I am definately a “New Victorian”, but mixed with the “Ruralist”. give me grain sacks and chickens and a crystal chandelier and I’m happy.
Blessings to you on this Most Wonderful Day ~ Happy Thanksgiving, Eileen @ Star’s Fault

Happy Thanksgiving!! There are so many wonderful things to be thankful for, and one of them for me is always your blog! I always look forward to taking a peek through the secret keyhole that is your enchanted world.
xoxoxo
and a Happy Thanksgiving to you, Mr. Lovee and the dogs!
Well I just hope you’re safe out there with all those wackadoodles on their cell phones and having had a bit of “nog.” Me, I’m a homebody and here with the pets. Hubs is working a 42 hour shift at the nuthouse (uh, mental hospital) where he’s a shrink. So I ate a chicken salad sandwich and I’ve been sewing goodies!
Brenda
Good vibes being sent your way! The wagon images are the cutest bits of inspiration and fun 🙂

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Looking forward to seeing your house and what you have instore for us. I’m sure it’s just going to be magical as always.
Cheers
Happy Happy! I hope you had a wonderful journey and are enjoying yourself ever so much…
Thanks so much for another beautiful post! I’m so grateful that I found your blog and your shop ~ so many treasures. I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend with family and loved ones. Can’t wait to have a peek inside your magical homes!
Happy Thanksgiving and have fun visiting with your family. Does your family celebrate with just traditional foods or is it a combination of traditional and Mexican dishes? Just wondering… everyone always seems to have some sort of special family related dishes. In my family, my mother always makes my grandmother’s dumpling recipe.
And a Happy Thanksgiving to you too, dear one!
Sounds like you are going to have a wonderful time. I know I did!!! Was surrounded by friends and family and had a bountiful feast!!
Today, I have been busily shopping online all the Black Friday sales. What fun!! Some good deal out there too!!
Hugging you
SueAnn

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I was just reading that House Beautiful article last week. I think I have a bit of all four styles in me as well…lol, maybe that’s because I don’t really know WHAT my style is but I like it when I see it.
