Thanksgiving Traditions
These are a few of our favorite things!
Some of our most cherished treasures come from this time of year; they are the little things that stir the deep joy of expressing gratitude, love and friendship that go beyond the main event of Thanksgiving feasting (and all the planning that goes along with it)!
Inspired by our beloved family rambles in the autumn woods and our tradition of venturing out on Thanksgiving morning for a bit of fresh air before the day of feasting ahead, we created our Forest Walk collection to bring the beauty of Mother Nature and her incredible charms to the dinner table with every plate, platter and dish. Each year, we love pulling out this autumnal motif to use all season long, as a reminder of our blissful family hikes and our soulful connection we all share with the bounty of the Earth.

The entire month of November has us inspired to proactively and mindfully practice gratitude. There is something powerful when we slow down and take the time to put pen to paper and write an old-fashioned note on beautiful stationery—whether it’s a hand-written invitation, heartfelt thank you, place cards for table settings, or a love letter.
Can spreading love and gratitude be considered a hobby? Consider us obsessed, especially this time of year. We keep these thoughtful gift sets on hand to let everyone from teachers and coaches to neighbors and colleagues know how much they are treasured.
Our last family tradition actually takes place after the main event. The day after Thanksgiving, we place wish jars for each and every family member to display on a fireplace mantel, table or shelf to collect handwritten notes of secret hopes and desires (from roller skates to flower arranging classes) in the lead up to Christmas.
These heirloom-worthy, lidded vessels are the grownup version of a wish list, ensuring that no gift is forgotten, and that Mr. or Mrs. Claus gets their shopping done with a guaranteed successful result—for when you wish upon a jar, your dreams come true!
