I feel like just yesterday I was rejoicing in the fact that the grass was turning green again, yet here we are the day before Thanksgiving. I have had a bit of a hard go these past few weeks, but I couldn’t leave you without a selection of some of my favorite things. I either own these items or they have come highly recommended, or they are on my personal wish list.
Tis’ the season to love, give, and remember all the good in the world. I hope these gifts can help you express your love to your friends, family, and those who deserve a holiday treat!
I wish all of you and yours
a Happy Thanksgiving!
