We want to give THANKS to our fans/readers today by sharing with you a FREE PRINTABLE Thanksgiving Placemat.  We are showing a few simple tricks you can do to spruce up your kid’s table as well.  We are loving the rustic vibe this season with pale fall neutral colors with a hint of blue… who says kid’s seating can’t be just as charming as the adult table?  We set out kraft paper for the kids to draw on while they wait, along with wooden untensils, turkey feathers and twine.  Our FREE PRINTABLE Thanksgiving Placemat encourages kids to give gratitude & record favorite memories. This is the one time during the year, my kids actually will say kind words to each other  (sigh).  We used our favorite Twine, from the Twinery to give that little pop of blue to the table by wrapping it on the wooden utensils and the mason jar glasses.  We added a gold accented paper straw and tied feathers & wheat to the napkins for a final touch.
