My simple Thanksgiving mantle! I am very Thankful for all that God has graciously given to me. I just wanted it to be very easy and simple this year. BUT, lookout for my Christmas Mantle!!!
I joined Erica's Putz House Swap. It was a challenge to find the houses. My partner, Shirley, just received hers today. The one she made will arrive anytime...I'll post about the swap soon...
So...not sure about Thanksgiving...hubby mentioned going out to a restaurant that day! HMM...I mentioned working at a shelter serving meals...he said no...we don't always agree!
Looks like we are going to a couple estate sales in the morning! One is another "PACKED & Digger sale" and it sure looks like it in the photos. I spied a wood organizer that would hold card stock. I'm hoping to score that!
Next week will fly by...Monday my Mom and I are going to the Bachman Idea house and out for lunch! FUN!! Tuesday is my duty day at Auntie M's. Wednesday is my " paid work" day job. Thursday is BSF, Grandgirl after school, plus haircut and color. I WAS going to let my hair go grey...guess not!! Friday is my monthly "work" paid job at the Vintage Cottage. Saturday I'm helping out at Auntie M's because it's the store wide sale, which starts on Friday! I also must bring LOTS of stuff to the booth before Friday! LOL, I'm tired already!
I also want to make some Thanksgiving cards....maybe I can do those this weekend...guess I better get going!
Warmly,
deb

I like your houses. I made two. One to keep and one to swap. Mine actually look alot like yours. Even a little fencing. I wanted to keep mine simple as well.
Love that wreath.
Good luck with that busy schedule.
I'm having turkey envy with your mantle. Your platters are so pretty too. Your houses are darling. Enjoy your busy week ahead. Good luck tomorrow at the estate sale.

Deb I think your mantel looks great! I will fly home tomorrow and try to get some simple Thanksgiving decorations out this year. It will take me awhile to get caught up at home...35 days is a long time to be gone. Hugs, Linda
Deb-
Your mantel looks great! And so do your houses. I like that you kept them simple and old fashioned! I sent my house for Kim off today. And I received mine from her today as well. It's darling of course!

I'll be at Auntie M's probably on Friday of the sale. Gotta get the good stuff!

I have been keeping so busy with keep my etsy shoppe stocked. I have been seeing things fly out, which is such a blessing. Keeps me hopping!

Love your little Putz houses. You have a super busy week coming up!! My goodness, don't wear yourself out! But do have fun!!
Oh DEB, LOVE the mantel AND those sweet little houses:) I will not be letting my hair go grey, too young for that! You too:) Have a blessed weekend dear friend, HUGS!
You putz house are so cute, you did a great job!
So cute! Kim
Love the houses! So pretty and creative! I would love to learn to make these!
You are sounding busy in a good way! LOVE the houses...looks like such a fun project!
Those little houses are so charming and how cute they would be a little gift boxes.
A 'packed & digger sale' along with a trip to Bachman House sounds like a perfect week to me. Wish I could go to either one! :-)
Would love to make these for grandson, are there any instructions.?
Fun! And I bet you still have glitter everywhere! :-)
I love your houses. It's one thing I don't have the patience to make. Do you know of a tutorial on how to make them? Have a great week!

My gosh you are one busy gal Deb!!!
Your Putz houses are so darling. I had fun making that tiny one for my salt shaker. May have to make some larger ones for Christmas this year. Your an inspiration.
hugs Lynn
I love your houses Deb. They turned out so cute. I have started thrifting and I so love it. I have found some really good buys and new ways to decorate. Whatever you do I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving....Come visit and catch up. I have to know why it is called a putz house!
What sweet little houses and love the wreath in your banner too. Have a great weekend!!
What a pretty mantel and I love your putz houses! I have been wanting to make one of these for several years now and just haven't had the time to sit down and do it. They are so adorable!
Hope you figure out what to do for Thanksgiving! We were going to NM then Monday got a call from some good friends from there whose daughter is getting married the first of Jan and we decided to stay home as 2 trips in that short of time isn't doable. So we are smokin a turkey and having some friends over.
bee blessed
