Happy Thanksgiving

  For those of you celebrating Thanksgiving in the USA I wish you a lovely day of  good food, family and fun. And let's all say a little prayer of gratitude for our blessings.


  I am linking the card I made to the Simon Wednesday challenge blog. This is the second card I made for the theme of "use Heather's sketch". In my last post I made a Christmas card.

 Here's the sketch:

and here's my card close up:


 I'm also going to share a close up of the beautiful teacup in my table setting:


    Isn't it just elegant? As you can see it on the table above it's very small. It was gifted to me but unfortunately I don't know anything about it. Here's the mark under the cup and saucer:






  I am linking this post to Mandarin Orange Monday; Inspiration Avenue (the weekly art challenge this week is Gratitude Show and Tell); Simon Says Wednesday Challenge; T Stands For Tuesday; and Teacup Tuesday.

                                                                 Have a beautiful week.

"Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song."    Komrad von Gesner

  9. Hello Linda, your Thankful card is wonderfully designed. And your little elegant tea cup is fab too. I have one similar, but it is footed. I wish I knew about them.
    Happy Thanksgiving!

  13. This is a stunning vignette. I was impressed at how well all the elements, including your lovely Thanksgiving card, worked together. And that cup is gorgeous. I remember a few years ago, I was at the library and found a book on marks on cups, saucers, etc. The most impressive ones were hand stamped, as I'm sure yours is. It is beautiful.

    Thanks for joining T today. And I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, too.

  19. Although we don't have thanksgiving or black Friday I agree with you that it's a shame it seems to be becoming a bigger deal than thanksgiving itself. Your grace painting turned out wonderfully with the butterfly - it really does look like it was just meant to be sitting on her shoulder like that!! Your card is beautiful as is the lovely composition you made up to take the photo with - it looks so warm and welcoming!
