Happy and Easy Thanksgiving Decor

A friend told me yesterday she likes Thanksgiving better than Christmas because it’s about sharing a meal and being thankful without all of the pressure of holiday gifts and associated big decor and even bigger expectations.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

For years I have focused on having home decor that’s easy to deploy without taking a huge chunk of time, and in some cases, space. For example, this little combination of vintage postcard, vintage Made in Japan turkey salt and pepper shakers and fresh mums from my garden take up a tiny corner of my kitchen. And yet it reminds me of the season and makes me smile when I go into my kitchen every morning.

So just a reminder to keep things simple and do what gives you joy. And add a generous dose of gratitude for what you have.

Happy Thanksgiving!
