Thanksgiving Day ’24 Blog

Our Thanksgiving supper table experienced a meant-to-be moment. A thoughtful houseguest sent ahead her thank you gift…a very upscale partridge, cloaked in a patchwork of textiles, ribbon, velvet, and feathers…which immediately became the basis for the table’s centerpiece. Who could have resisted?

May your Thanksgiving be truly memorable also!

Happy, Happy to you and yours.
