Feather in My Cap

Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni!

Jen and Lou bought me this headband for Christmas, and I wore it to work on Monday. I love feathers :) I LOVE IT!

Love,
Stephanie Marie

PS. The rest of the lyrics to "Yankee Doodle" are straight up bizarre. Check them out here. It's the state anthem of Connecticut. Guess I shouldn't be shocked :)

Thankful for an Instant Impact!



For the past two years, my sister has hosted our family's Thanksgiving dinner. Last year I flew in from San Diego and stayed from my nieces' birthday (Nov 19th) through the holiday. A full week was just what the doctor ordered! This year, though, I'm coming from Maryland, so I'll just be up from Thursday through Saturday. I'm sure we'll make the most of the time, crafting, watching movies, and going on walks.

Usually, Jen and I decorate the table, and I think this might have to be an inspiration for this year. I love how simple it is, but how much of an impact it would make. My family never does name plates, but even just having a fall-colored fabric napkin and apple on each plate would look festive without much effort. I also bought a few pheasant feathers to wrap around a candle holder, too, if Jen will allow it :)

What are your Thanksgiving plans?

Love,
Stephanie Marie
