**Psst- We know most Fridays we just post once, but today we’ll be back in a few hours with a post about the newest ceramic animal that we’ve added to our family. Not exactly cuddly, but cute.
It’s time for our monthly shout out to thank all of the lovely sponsors who make our other 30+ posts possible. And of all the times of the year, this one seems the most suited for our little thank-fest. So in that spirit, we’re highlighting a bunch of things that bring out our favorite parts of Thanksgiving – family, food, warm clothes, and warm colors. Not that we’ve been gifted anything (here’s our no-swag policy). Oh and there are some bonus discounts rounded up at the bottom for ya. Happy turkey day month everyone!
- This mixed metal chandelier from Shades of Light (so great for a dining room).
- Z Gallerie‘s proof that even your Thanksgiving table can rock some autumn-y sparkle.
- A way to snag some of that sparkle: a $250 Z Gallerie giveaway from Hometalk.
- WallQuotes‘ charming kitchen decals (just in time for all that holiday cooking).
- Penny tile from The Tile Shop! But you already knew we were digging that these days.
- SugarFresh‘s simply stylish rendering of one of Clara’s new favorite songs.
- Great playful patterns from Chic Shelf Paper (like these lovely yellow leaves).
- Tiny Tag birthstone charms from Heart & Stone Jewelry (for my fellow Scorpios).
- Sustainably made cards from Smock Paper that give thanks for even the little things.
- Sarah + Abraham‘s custom placements for your little Thanksgiving sous chef.
- This other stencil from Royal Design Studio that we also considered for our office.
- P.C. Fallon‘s selection of pepper mills (in case your turkey comes out on the bland side).
- The warm color palettes at Lacefield Designs (even the soft and subtle ones).
- This so-quirky-it’s-cool vintage planter on Ruby Lane (gobble gobble, baby).
- “Homegrown” hardware from Liberty Hardware that’s all made by hand.
- House 8810‘s Thanksgiving round up, including the coolest turkey platter ever.
- The baking section of Dot Coms For Moms‘ fall guide. Um… yum.
- The fact that this “Stripe It Rich” pattern from FLOR comes in the color “Moolah.”
- A Vintage Poster‘s playful prints, especially the ones that encourage more dessert.
- This map print from Hoot Design Co. even if it is Missouri (and not Virginia) themed.
And now for the JUICY DISCOUNTS:

I wonder if I can get that sign to say Let John Eat Cake. If so, it’s going up in the kitchen ASAP. Lisa, read the sign.
I can’t wait to see your new ceramic creature…I have a giveaway monday from Plaid Paints, you should check it out!
Can’t wait for Thanksgiving! Congrats on all your reasons to be thankful this month!
You guys have the best sponsors – I love them all.
Speaking of “Giving Thanks”, are you guys doing your thanks jar again this year? The one with the missing a-hole? (whenever I hear the term “a-hole” I think of you now, no offense). :D
Haha- yes! That’s out and in use. We hope to do a post about how it’s going this year and hopefully another Turkey Day project that we squeeze in!

Umm.. can you provide a link to this?? I need to know what “a-hole” means! And I’d also like to read about the thanks jar too! :)
Haha- here’s that post: http://www.younghouselove.com/2010/11/thanks-glassing/

I love when you guys go window shopping at your sponsor’s stores. You always find such pretty things :o) Good thing Christmas is right around the corner!
So many reasons to be thankful !! Off to check out some of the sites you shared.
My monthly reply of : without sponsors we would not have YHL. We appreciate them and you all.
Off the subject but need an answer when you have time…What kind of fabric dye would you suggest I use to dye some fabric…light beige pillow covers to gray.
Brand name
Where do I buy it
Anything else need to know on using it.
Thanks Sherry and John.

We loved using iDye from JoAnn fabric. That’s what we used on our slipcovered chairs in the dining room and it was really easy (toss the package into the wash and it automatically disolves so there’s no mess).

Sherry: Even in a brand new front loading washer…..just throw it in the detergent area or in the drum…I am scared it will wreck the washer.
Yup! Just read this post and the instructions on the iDye and follow them to the letter! I used it in my brand new front loader too: http://www.younghouselove.com/2011/06/a-four-color-process/

I’m glad you went with the stencil you did for the office- the other one reminds me a little too much of eyes staring at me (a la your kitchen cabinet knobs)! :p
Thank goodness for your sponsors(and other readers, and your imagination and drive) that allow you to do this DIY thing you do… I would miss seeing all of the transformations and would have to find other not so much fun ways of wasting time in the day ;) Really though, I don’t feel like I waste my time on here. All for a prupose right?
Aw thanks guys! So sweet of you to support us (and the monthly-thanking-of-the-sponsors). Smooches all around.

I thought a post entitled “Giving Thanks” posted on Veterans day would be about something else altogether. I’m grateful for your sponsors because I love you guys and your blog, but my thanks go to the veterans today (who deserve it every day)!
Ps… That’s said with love, not snarkiness… I heart you guys!
We love our Veterans too! That’s a cause close to our hearts (John’s dad actually served in the army).

Am I the only one that read “home is where your mom is” as a ‘your mom’ joke?!?! Gosh I’m so inappropriate.
Haha- too funny.

I wanted to let you know that I love the way you do this post – I’ve been only reading for a week or so (best Fri night in ever – helped me beat my ‘I’m a loser’ blues).
So many blogs turn into a full on sell fest cause of their sponsors, whereas this is tasteful, not overwhleming, not like an infomercial… All round GREAT! (I mean I’m aussie, so a lot of the vendors are not local for me, so delivery would be nightmarish, so I prefer the more low key approach).
Keep up the good work – thanks to you, I enjoyed a browse of furniture stores in anticipation for the purchasathon once I have bought an apartment!
I saw the “let them EAT CAKE” and was totally inspired. You can read the story here: http://mostlovedhouse.blogspot.com/2011/11/let-them-eat-pie.html
Thanks so much, Petersik’s! Keep the ideas flowin’! :)
