Dirt Road Adventures – Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Week! What are your Thanksgiving Plans?

We’ve talked about Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving for weeks, but it still feels like it’s arriving way too early.

We plan to spend Thanksgiving at our beach cottage and have a celebration with our beach neighbors and family. In addition, we will do a little shopping and enjoy lots of leftovers all weekend long.

I’m looking forward to a break from all the holiday decorating. I don’t do much at the beach cottage since we don’t usually go back until New Year.

Whatever your plans, I how they will be amazing.

This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.

First, I celebrated my birthday on Monday, and my husband took me to our favorite oyster bar.

See what we brought home, and I can’t wait to share what I plan to do with them.

In addition, I received my Christmas bedding from Levtex Home, which looks so festive on the bed.

I choose the Winterberry Collection, but they have so many great options.

The rest of the week was filled with decorating for Christmas. I wanted everything completed before leaving for the beach.

I added several DIY projects and some that I’ll share in the next few weeks.

In Case You Missed It

I shared a new recipe I made combining a few different ideas for this Zesty Pistachio Cream Cheese Veggie Spread. It is really yummy.

Next, I shared these Eco-friendly, sustainable, and budget-friendly DIY Foraged Christmas Topiaries that I made for my dining table centerpiece.

They look great with the Faux Paperwhite Arrangement I added to a vintage tureen.

On Wednesday, I joined some friends to share tips for Christmas Entertaining, and I shared 15 Tips To Host a Christmas Party.

Thursday was our monthly Supper Club (one week early), and it was a fun Christmas Breakfast Table Setting.

The table consists of natural greenery, thrifted tableware, and the DIY Centerpiece.

Also, on Thursday, we shared our monthly Thrifting with the Gals series. I shared How To Repurpose A Yard Sale Find this month for the holidays.

They turned out so cute I’ll probably leave them out all year. Plus, if you missed all the other gals’ posts, be sure to check it out.

I also shared an oldie but a goodie. How to Dry Oranges for Holiday Crafts along with some projects for using the dried fruit.

Finally, I shared the full menu and recipes for our Christmas Breakfast Supper Club.
