I have been so focused on starting my Christmas shopping that I almost forgot about Thanksgiving! Goodness, but that certainly comes first. Time to switch gears, I guess. I need to think about turkey and the trimmings, rearranging the room to fit in all the guests and putting fresh linens on the spare bed for overnight guests. Plus maybe allow myself a moment or two to reflect on being thankful for all that I have. That might have to come next week though, as right now I need to get busy organizing!

First step, let’s think about who will be here. Between us and various aunts, uncles and cousins, I think we will need more seating. We just won’t all fit around the dining table this year, I fear. That means extra seating and I have just the thing – my art for kids antoinette bench!

The Antoinette Bench with Patina finish by Art for Kids is an elegant accent to any room. The bench features beautiful handcrafted woodwork and an upholstered seat. It is shown here with custom fabric. This piece is custom done in patina upfinish. The style is also available in many different finishes. And at Width: 46″ x Depth: 17″ x Height: 16 1/2″, it will be sure to fit a couple of people on Thanksgiving!

In fact, now that I think about it, we could put the kids at their very own table! That will make them happy and the rest of the adults will be able to eat in peace for a few minutes too. In theory anyway!

Both you and your children can enjoy this decorative and practical Vintage Table and Chairs set by Art For Kids. The table and chairs are crafted from birch and alder woods. It is available in many motifs and finishes. A great place to play and a great way to accent your child’s room. You can even encourage the kids to set their table themselves with their own special centerpieces and fancy settings.  They will think they are so grown up and sophisticated. Perfect!

Oh, and I have just the thing for table settings! How about our personalized melamine tableware! Cute and functional, all in one. Our preppy cards melamine plates and bowls tableware are the perfect choice for design and ease at mealtime. Forget paper and china! Opt for colorful and reusable melamine tableware instead. Better for the environment than their disposable counterparts, breaking. Concerned parents can take comfort in knowing that these are made from BPA-free plastic [no Bisphenol-A], so they are safe for kids and grown-ups alike. Plus, they can be personalized, have optional backgrounds and patterns, as well as being available with any of our icons. Another thing checked off the list.

And what else did I have to do? Oh yes, freshen up the spare bedroom. Time for some new bedding! And they deserve only the best with our king size gordonsbury bedding – beetles and bees.

This Beetles and Bees (King) bedding set by Gordonsbury features the company’s legendary attention to quality and detail. Each piece of bedding is skillfully hand embroidered on pure cotton or linen. Harmonious vibrant thread colors are used to interpret and give life to the adorable beetles and bees motif and theme. The set will add a classic and elegant flair to any room!

Now, I can finish off the room with a pretty bouquet of flowers on the bedside table to make our guests feel pampered. Lovely. No time to linger though, as now I have to get cracking in the kitchen. I think I hear a turkey gobbling my name. Have a great weekend!
