It's called Thanksgiving, right? As I run through my checklist planning for my first attempt at hosting Turkey Day chez moi, I find that I need frequent reminders that the holiday is about being thankful for what you have, not for what you have to buy!
Still, I can't help but fill in the obvious holes in my kitchen (who can serve succulent sweet potatoes without a stunning serving dish?), of which there are plenty. I'm trying to do this, of course, without spending a fortune.
Hello Etsy, I do believe we've met, but have I mentioned that I am tremendously thankful for your reasonably-priced-aesthetically-pleasing awesomeness? From host gifts to tabletop must-haves, you do not disappoint. Vintage cocktail glasses? Check. Mid-Century serving platter? Check. Embroidered table runner? Check. Price tags under $30? Check. The best of both worlds: thankful for what I have, thankful for what I have get to buy.

Love the "Citrine Thanksgiving Home Decor Art Print". I think in a nice rustic orange would be great also. Normally I love the yellow but this time of year my head is always on oranges.
#4 looks an AWFUL lot like the table linens from World Market....
Whoa! Thank you so much for including our Woodland Leaves Towel!
I've gotten coffee and a tea towel from Homesteading Roasters and they were all-around great. Just wish they still had graham crackers, those things were delicious!
#9 is in every thrift store in multiples :)
it sometimes has it's little brother with it, a smaller bowl for the dip. it's part of a chip/dip set.
lots of great stuff in your local thrift stores!
#4 "Kavit Floral placements - Set of 2, $14" is from WORLD MARKET.
And you can buy the exact same napkins for less than half the price listed on Etsy.
Four (4) of the exact napkins at World market is $11.96.
And from this seller it would be $28 for the exact same 4.

hahaha
Crooks like user "ORTUPES" on ETSY is ruining it for other creative and original folks selling on Etsy.
Nicely done "ORTUPES", by selling commercially made products for more than double the price.
ok, I'm done :)
