Happy Saturday!
Yesterday I shared my Thanksgiving timeline and the response has been amazing. It’s so fun to plan out that hectic day and help make the whole meal feel more manageable.
Don’t forget my holiday entertaining guide — it’s full of practical tips for Thanksgiving and beyond. Also, there are just a few days left to order signed copies of The Pretty Dish for the holidays. I’m happy to add as many signed book plates as you need for gifting to friends and family.
This week I’m launching my annual gift guides. I’ve been doing these for seven years and they’re one of my favorite projects. I try to have them ready for you by Thanksgiving, even though I usually haven’t finished my own shopping yet.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Who’s hosting a Friendsgiving?
