Thanks to Sherry at No Minimalist Here blog, I am happy to be
part of her Thanksgiving Vignette blog hop.
Please check out the links to all the other participants in
the blog hop at the end of the post.
The Pilgrims hosted the first Thanksgiving in 1621 in
order to have a special time of giving thanks to God for
His provision for them. As we carry on that tradition,
I wanted some Thanksgiving Thoughts to be up in my
home to remind me to also give thanks.
Most of my thoughts that have special meaning to me are
Bible verses but you could decorate with thankful quotes
or sayings that have meaning to you.

For this vignette, I wanted the thankful thoughts to have a look
that they might have come over on the boats with the Pilgrims.
After composing the thoughts in fancy fonts on my computer,
I ran them through the printer one at a time on the aged paper.
Then cut them out to be a smaller size than the full sheet of
paper they were printed on.

If you want to use the Thanksgiving Thoughts that are in
this vignette, the blog post Printable Thanksgiving Thoughts
has them ready for you to download and print on your
choice of paper.
A couple of years ago I made the chicken wire frames to hold
Christmas cards but I have left them up ever since and
decorated them for different seasons. The thoughts are
attached to the chicken wire with tiny wooden clothespins.

In keeping with the lighter tones in this vignette, I wanted to
try making some plaster leaves that I had seen Jane at
Cottage At The Crossroads blog make a couple of years ago.

The plaster leaves give another Fall element to the printed out
sayings/verses on the chicken wire display.

The candlesticks that are holding the pretty green pumpkins
were purchased from the clearance shelves and Hobby
Lobby. The middle of the candlesticks were a glassy pink.
They got a neutral color distressed and crackled paint job.

The Thanksgiving Thoughts can be used in different places
around your home. If you print them on card stock, they
have enough stiffness to lean up against an object.

Or you can place them within other vignettes or even on
your Thanksgiving dinner table.
