And just like that it's November. My dear readers from the US are probably gearing up for the Thanksgiving holiday. I know it's a big day at my brother's place, well maybe not this year because he and his family just moved into a new house in Washington D.C. a couple of days ago, so he'll be busy unpacking and settling in... Anyhow, I really love this holiday - obviously not because of the turkey (I'm a vegetarian), but for having the entire family gathered in one place. And if family is too far away
Friendsgiving is a wonderful alternative! Of course there is always something to be thankful for each and every day, but I still like the idea of having a special day to express gratitude with friends and family :)

Und schon ist es November und bald auch "Thanksgiving", welches wir hier in Deutschland als Erntedankfest kennen (war bereits am 4. Oktober) jedoch nicht als offiziellen Feiertag. In USA ist der vierte Donnerstag im November ein großer Familienfesttag, so auch bei meinem Bruder der dort mit Familie lebt. Wer keine Familie in der Nähe hat feiert alternativ
Friendsgiving, eine wirklich nette Idee wie ich finde! Was mir daran gefällt ist das gesellige Beisammensein (weniger der Truthahn, denn ich bin ja Vegetarierin). Natürlich gibt es jeden Tag etwas für das ich dankbar bin, aber es ist einfach schön das auch mal in netter Runde auszudrücken :)

How fast did November creep up on us this year?!
That giant knitted blanket makes me so, so happy :)
I can not believe it's november already, where did summer go? Love the plate and the fox.
Really really like your collage !
This year has just been speeding by. I do like Thanksgiving but I always eat way too much
I love your idea of a 'friendsgiving' which would have more meaning that what Thanksgiving has turned into! over eating and football - LOL! Beautiful moodboard
I want to see the knitting needles for that blanket! WOW! Them is some large stitches!!
I love Thanksgiving, but it is slowly being overrun by the media and stores to just get on to Christmas. Ugh.
Ach wie nett, liebe Duni! Friendsgiving, davon habe ich noch nie gehört. Das finde ich eine tolle Idee.
Eine wunderschöne Collage hast Du übrigens passend zum Thema für uns rausgesucht.
Liebe Grüße

Hallo, meine liebe Duni,
Friendsgiving, das ist eine wunderbare Wortschöpfung *lächel*
Deine Collage ist wieder zauberhaft, Fuchs, und Getreide, die beiden Bilder gefallen mir heute am besten ;O)
Ich wünsch Dir noch einen schönen und freundlichen Nachmittag!
♥ Allerliebste Grüße, Claudia ♥
Yes I love the idea of "Friendsgiving!!" I have been wanting to do one for years but never get around to it!!!
Hallo liebe Duni,
ein wundervolles Moodboard ganz passend zum Thema. Danke !
Viele liebe Grüße, Synnöve
What a gorgeous blanket! Lovely collection Duni! Hope your brother and his family gets settled quickly!
What sweet picks! As always. =)
I'm not really sure what we'll be doing for Thanksgiving this year. We won't be with family, but last year we celebrated with friends and hopefully we can do the same this year.
Beautiful collection (that oversized knit is incredible!)
Very pretty collection! I love those plates and the pumpkin. So simple, yet so pretty :)
Schöne Ideen & Anregungen! Danke!

Beautiful round-up. That blanket looks so damn cozy! :D
These are such perfect November images! I love the fox.
I love that super chunky blanket. So cool! My mom makes a batch of stuffing outside the turkey for me. I'm the only vegetarian of the bunch but my brother prefers stuffing prepared outside of a bird so at least I don't have to feel like she is only making it for me! The veggie casseroles are my favs.
My husband and I don't eat meat, but we love Thanksgiving.
Gratitude is a great premise for a holiday no matter who you spend it with or what you eat. :)
Meine liebe Duni! Wow, wie schön dein Moodboard wieder geworden ist! Ich hab mich ja jetzt gerade wahnsinnig in den tollen Fuchs und die Decke verliebt! So hersbtlich und gemütlich ♥ Sowas hätte ich auch gern zuhause ;D Das hast du wieder mal ganz toll zusammengestellt meine Liebe!
Und noch einmal ein dickes Dankeschön für deine lieben Worte und deine Unterstützung meine Süße ♥
Ich drück dich ganz lieb!

November already, how did that happen?!?
I do love Thanksgiving. Any reason to get together with family is a great by me :)
Love those plates. Simple, yet oh so pretty!
I know, how did we get here already?! We attend a Thanksgiving and a Friendsgiving every year, so we don't have to worry about hosting but we always bring food. Before you know it, it will be Christmas!
Yes, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Of course, I have such a large family, that we always enjoy seeing one another and spending the day or the weekend together!
