Posted by: Cass| Friday, November 13, 2009 at 02:48 PM I love the third, which is a bummer because it's the most expensive & probably the hardest to replicate. But those plates are way too adorable! I thought this idea of doing a peacock theme was really neat so I am going to try it this year: http://www.chicaandjo.com/2009/11/11/peacock-centerpiece-and-napkin-rings/ We always plan annual Thanksgiving themed games and entertainment for the whole crew that celebrates at our home. They are always so fun and emails start flying around Halloween wanting to know what we'll all be playing this year. Here is a link to show you all the things we have done in the past |

I love the first one. I have always wanted Turkey plates for Thanksgiving - I have no rational reason for this as I don't actually get to host Thanksgiving....but there is something about a Turkey plate that is just desired.
