Good morning, dear sweet friends. It's a beautiful morning here, the day before Thanksgiving. I am feeling grateful for so much in my life, very much including this little blog and all of you who hang out with me here day after day, through it all. I am grateful for this place of peace, and Andy and I sincerely wish you a truly happy holiday weekend and a really, really wonderful start to the season.
Love always,
Alicia & Co.














happy Thanksgiving to you as well. And thankyou for this wonderful place, where I am often inspired!

Alicia, Andy, and family (including furry ones)-- I wish you a very happy and safe Holiday. Thanks for the gift of your blog. It has truly been an inspiration to me, and lit a spark of creativity. Because you are so encouraging and open in sharing your projects, I felt empowered to teach myself to sew. This new avocation has added a joyful sense of accomplishment to my life as I complete new projects. thanks thanks thanks

And I thank you Alicia, for inspiring me to get back to sewing and being creative. I love your blog - you inspired me to clean out my sewing room - a monumental task that I accomplished. I've got a Christmas gift table runner all cut out and ready to sew, and that's how I'm spending my Friday of this, my favorite 4 day weekend of the year. I live in Tacoma WA, but grew up in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, home of the Pilgrims and very traditional and wonderful Thanksgivings. I am truly grateful to you, Andy, Clover Meadow and the 2 beautiful kitties. Enjoy your holiday season, too.

I live in the UK so don't have Thanksgiving, but I love how you take the time to pause and reflect on your blessings, and to be grateful for them. I think I shall try to do that in my own life. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and thanks for being so funny, open and inspirational x
