An early Friday Find.............another wonderful collage

Hello little lovelies! Here it is Thursday again already. Things are about to get crazy around here for a bit. My oldest daughter is going in for surgery to remove a thyroglossal duct cyst (in her throat) that keeps getting infected. Though not necessarily life threatening (though we certainly came close with the last infection), the cyst is a constant lump in her throat and flares up in irritation with any cold or sickness she contracts and we've opted to have it removed. It is an outpatient surgery so she will come home tomorrow evening sometime to rest and recover here. We are looking forward to her much better health after the healing process is finished.

My youngest daughter is due to have a gigantic birthday bash to celebrate her "golden" birthday next week. For those of you who don't know, a golden birthday is an occasion that only happens once in your life when the date of your birthday matches up with the age you are turning. She was born on November 10th so her 10th birthday party is scheduled to be a fantastically huge production! I was not quite as fortunate with mine as I was only 3 when it occured and my mother was not aware of such a concept. I suppose I will just have to live vicariously through each of my children's parties :)

Due to the fact that I will be at the hospital for most of the day tomorrow, I thought I'd share some of my favorite thanksgiving holiday items from Etsy a little early for tomorrows Friday Find feature. I've compiled another collage since I love the way the last one came out. I've listed each piece and the corresponding shop owner with links to both below so browse away. Each item reflects this wonderful season in my opinion. Enjoy the autumnal/wintery weather wherever you are this week!

Sit back and have a nice hot cup of cocoa for me,
