When do you start to prepare for the holidays? I usually start washing windows and deep cleaning in the fall...I just don't know where the time went this year. Last week I took all the screens off and started washing windows. Deep vacuuming and dusting. If I get it all done for Thanksgiving I can pull out my Christmas on Black Friday. While everyone else is shopping I can crank up the Christmas Caroles, pack away Harvest and bring out Christmas. I have made my shopping list and planned the menu. There are a few things I will make ahead. Pulled out the serving pieces.
Invitations have started to arrive, it seems everyone has something planned for the first Saturday in December. I need to pick up some hostess gifts and get the work gifts, you know those early things that sneak up on you.
So I did a bit of tweaking today in mydining room , kitchen. The big table is open to our kitchen and we eat here everyday, but this is it no formal dining room.
This table is what I changed out the most. I cleared everything off and brought my saltglaze on over.
I have a wingback I sit in the read and have coffee and this is my view.
Lots more to do, many preparations for a day filled with family, food and laughter. I wanted to sneak in a post first. May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving~
