As we approach this time of Thanksgiving, it pays to reflect on what all we have to be thankful for. Family, friends, homes, jobs are high on the list. In this economy, we know many are struggling and we've seen so much in the news lately about jobs.  Diane Sawyer, anchor of  World News Tonight on ABC, has been doing stories on items Made in America and how purchasing those items creates jobs.  We at Sophisticated Stationery believe in supporting small business (of course, we are one!) and the concept of Made in America.  So for this blog post, we turned to Etsy for inspiration.  You can't get much more Made in America than our crafty citizens and Etsy is a small business mecca! So here is what we found, ENJOY!

Nothing like thinking ahead and the way time flies, Thanksgiving will be here before you know it!  We just love these ideas for Thanksgiving Dinner! From the invitations to the table, we have some great ideas.  Pottery Barn has the lovely turkeys, turkey plates and table runner.  Southern Living offers these great ideas for centerpieces and floral arrangements and we found this gorgeous Baguette Board to use for candles at Europe 2 You. You'll be roasting that bird before you know it so start planning now to take some of the stress out of the holidays!
