When I had a larger home, a historic Chicago Bungalow, I went all out for Thanksgiving themed with the style of my house. And the day BEFORE Thanksgiving I actually decorated the whole house for Christmas. As a child the period from Thanksgiving to the New Year for me was when my parents weren't fighting. I came from domestic violence and now at 69 years old, I still associate the season with a feeling of a truce between mom and dad, it was my chance to live a quiet peaceful serene existence for a brief period. My husband passed in 2017 after a long illness and I live in Holland Michigan now living a serene existence near the lake. Memories take me back and I'm grateful for having grown to understand love, gratitude, the gift of life and a renewed appreciation of daily wonders around me DESPITE my history with turmoil. I spend these holidays alone if I choose and I don't apologize for it. I'm satisfied with who I am now and I look forward to simple pleasures...like seeing YOU Linda on the channel! Yeah! AND making my Olde English Christmas cake and my Rose petal Honey lavender shortbread cookies... special recipes that friends and family receive as gifts. So yes...I'm glad you're out there Linda and I'm pleasanty sharing my time with others watching what you'll come up with next!

[@deannalynne1626]

I so can relate, Happy Thanksgiving!

[@ritagarretson7278]

Peace is love. Enjoying my own peace.... You and many of us have survived but are now thriving today and many more days. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. Those cookies sound like some I would enjoy.

[@LindaVater]

You are so very inspiring, ma dear. I’m thankful for people like you in the world.

[@terrihart2133]

And she lived happily and peaceful in her ever after. ❤ Thank you for sharing. I work with people to get their happy ever after after a hard family life. I am glad you are.

[@elisbethfinos6162]

What a strong person you are! Amazing👏

[@maryjoseph7086]

Linda’s home is even more beautiful and warm and welcoming just like her. I was very privileged to the opportunity to tour her house when she graciously invited me and my boyfriend inside. It was a spur of the moment decision when we decided to detour to OKC to visit her iconic garden. We were welcomed like friends and got to experience the splendor of her beautiful garden and cozy and signature style home. I’m so happy wanted to shoutout from the rooftops but I’ll settle with these posts. Thank you Linda and Jaime ❤

[@LindaVater]

It was delightful to finally meet!

[@binamom2797]

I’m the quiet traditionalist according to the quiz and I’m here for it!

[@jaferjane9716]

You are so sweet and generous. I am thankful for you and Leah and Stewart❤ All of you have the best thanksgiving ever.

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Oh i wish you were my neighbour 😂❤. Afternoon tea with Linda would be heaven 😊 xx 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@marybeth4002]

Happy Thanksgiving to you all, Linda, Stewart, Leah and all your family members. I am thankful for your channel that provides a space of kindness and warmth. We all benefit from a little kindness whether we are giving it or receiving it.

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Hear hear ❤😂 love from Devon, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@danielallen138]

What a heartbreaking account to read. I've observed over the years that most people either follow in the footsteps of their parents, or go in an almost opposite direction. I'm glad you decided to go in a different direction when you observed the constant turmoil in the home your parents provided. That is very admirable!

[@cathymeyer3760]

Linda. Loved so much the kitchen wreath box decorated by your son for his family. Getting to see it again and feeling your love for your children. Just the Best. I then went back and watched your Christmas seasonal highlights a few years ago. A favorite of mine. I just melt. ❤

[@lindacamp8561]

You have done one heck of a job in one year- congratulations everything looks beautiful! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@angelad7757]

House looks truly fabulous! Have to say Linda and Leah you both are beautiful and have the best vibe ever, Happy Thanksgiving to all!

[@juneramirez8580]

I love the towel rack you have. It is unique and beautiful. Huge bathroom! About all those pumpkins, will be hard to compost. I think I heard you say they would be composted. If there are any livestock rescue facilities in your state, they would love them as donations for treats for their animals. Just a thought! I have seen just a small composter in your back yard.

[@cherylramsey3409]

A happy and safe Thanksgiving to all of you. My Christmas garden style is a jumbo of whatever the kids haven’t taken, old ornaments (silly beat up precious things that my daughter and grandchildren made for me the sweetest and a kind of a woodsy natural vibe. a Christmas wreath and a whole lot of Ameryllis to disguise everything

[@teresahatfield4521]

Linda. Your home is so cozy and beautifully decorated. Thank you for showing us your home. Linda, Leah and Stewart have a wonderful Thanksgiving. God bless you all.

[@carolladd9847]

I am thankful for you, Hubs, Leah and Stuart. Have a blessed happy Thanksgiving! C from Nebraska

[@joannereinauer7532]

One of my traditions is to put a scratch off lottery ticket under each plate. Everyone always gets a kick out of it.

[@shirleyprescott1528]

I love the grid of pictures.! My husband hung my curtain rods in our living room and they are a shade crooked! It is driving me nuts! lol!! I'm so jealous!!!

[@manonouellette4503]

Love how you cherish the whreath your son made, Happy Holidays. 😊

[@yvonnerolley9676]

Before using the “wicker paint” have your paint store give you the analysis ie paint tint code for future wicker paint jobs and put in journal

[@sandysanzenbacher7313]

These type of videos, that cover all types of home and fashion, are so much fun to watch. I enjoy every minute and I sometimes watch them more than once. Happy Thanksgiving to all three of you and your loved ones. Muaaah!! {that means I’m throwing you guys a kiss}

[@amyjones2490]

I need that towel rack! It’s just too cute and utilitarian.

[@terrihart2133]

The Box from Jamie was a great tradition you havr. Nothing more precious than something from your child home made. ❤

[@carollee4356]

Yes I sat the table on Tuesday so I know everything is polished

[@128titanic]

Hi, Linda. Thank you for your video. Best wishes. ❤

Thanks for sharing your sister’s incredible home and your lovely family with us..Happy Thanksgiving..

[@nancydicenso4139]

Today is Monday. Just set the table!

[@karensilvester9]

The quiz conclusion was spot on!

[@lynnetrue4103]

I do set my table ahead of time......to inspire me to continue😂

[@Angie-ci1lp]

Absolutely yes! Table …done😅

[@Angie-ci1lp]

Happy Blessed Thanksgiving 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

[@tammy6816]

Thanksgiving is at my sister’s house but I do Christmas at mine. I love to set the table for Christmas dinner on Christmas eve. I light candles and take a pretty pic of it to send the family letting them know I’m looking forward to seeing everyone the next day. I would love to set it a couple days early but with a hairy dog and a dusty bird in the house the night before is the best I can do 😊

[@velmasmama7402]

Linda Target is amazing for a lot of things, mainly their Cat n Jack clothes for kids. Keep it in mind for the day will come when you have grandchildren! I’ve been thinking about you lately and how great your are going to be as grandma, or mom-mom (that’s me) or memaw, or whatever name you pick,with Hubbs as grandparents. I can see you in the garden teaching your little one how to plant. Thank you for all your positivity, it really helps in this crazy world we live.

[@lindaplunkett1864]

I will be traveling from Boulder with my son who lives in Denver and his girlfriend who is from Oklahoma City and heading to the holiday home tour. We plan to attend the cocktail party and then tour all of the lovely homes in your neighborhood….yippee, I can’t wait!! I love your channel along with Leah and Stewart. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@junemcg3334]

How exciting! Enjoy every moment of the tour and The Cottage's lovely neighborhood!!

[@nancydorn2524]

I LOVE the idea of a gathering in the bathroom! Brilliant! Fun!

[@pegbro6163]

What a fun video today, thanks for sharing so much with us. I am so thankful and grateful for you and the things that I learn. Also, just love Leah and Stewart! Love your warm and lovely home and may your Thanksgiving be wonderful.

[@deechiodo6738]

As a like-minded gardener, I love your new gallery wall in the bathroom. My only suggestion would be to replace that table under it with a dark green or black wooden apothecary-type chest that would serve as much needed storage for your bathroom fundamentals as well as all of the seasonal decor you will undoubtedly be switching out.

[@77sun222]

Hi Linda You are like me. I keep things for a long time. Just can't throw anything away. I know that someone else may have to sort through it all when i am gone. But i have no worries about it. Nothing is rubbish💕🍀

[@taunyapatton7988]

I love your channel Linda. Wishing you, Leah, and Stewart a Happy Thanksgiving. A special shout out to Stewart.....I love his laugh.

[@valerienelson3296]

I love the picture display, those folding chairs our art themselves. I like the light color table legs, reminds me of winter birch logs.That wreath box is the sweetest. ❤❤❤

[@christyluckett439]

Oh I have 2chairs like that u have in the bathroom. I have pillows in my chairs also have a wicker table I will put them together.

[@terrihart2133]

Your table is very festive. Love the Turkey tea towels as a napkin. Never thought of that.

[@lindaga820]

Enjoyed this video ! Love your nail color Linda, could you post the the brand and color ?

[@robertbaker9775]

Ahh, this video was so much fun, informative, and inspirational! Thank you, Linda, Stewart, and Leah for everything you do to make this channel so outstanding! Keep talking, Stewart and Leah! You both add tremendously to the fun and excitement on this channel! HAPPY THANKSGIVING❣️❣️ Linda

[@martivasiliades8407]

Yes, I like to set my table early !

[@LULC0759]

I love love love, love that gallery wall. Those are my colors.❤

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I love a good tablescape any time of year... but especially during the holidays... and love seeing it way ahead of time. I love Jaimer's box and wreath. Now that is a Christmas treasure!!! Only a mother could relate to how that box recalls your boys history, and melts your heart.

[@sherrylnetzler351]

I got my journal, very timely, and I just love it. Thank you so much.

[@katherinemartinez4944]

You two look so cute! The beret looks adorable on you, Leah.

[@debhamil3782]

I love shopping at Target, it’s one of my favorite places. Bright & cheery.

[@softballtigers587]

I received your Garden Journal thanks love it!

[@mt2766]

I like setting the table for Thanksgiving the night before the holiday dinner. Happy Thanksgiving, Linda, Stewart & Leah! I am thankful for your garden inspirations!

[@judyrodriguez8550]

I smiled when you showed the box with the wreath inside that Jamie made all those years ago. I’ve been following you for quite awhile now and remember you showing it many times. Great video today as always! Happy Thanksgiving Linda, Stewart and Leah

[@peggyawald2749]

Thank you for all the great ideas and the fun quiz , it was very acurate, to see you and Lea together is such a joy Happy Holidays to you all and Thank You Stuart

[@stacythompson3175]

I love the wreath and box that you held on to from your son. My niece and nephew drew me pictures when they were probably 5 & 7. They are framed and hanging in my hallway. My niece and nephew are now 29 and 31. The pictures are some of my most treasured possessions. I'm trying to get my other nieces and nephews to draw something for me so I can make a gallery wall of all my babies drawings.

[@shirleyprescott1528]

Oh! Happy Thanksgiving! I love you all!

[@cindyhancock5261]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@julievanagtmael787]

You could sew Velcro on your ribbons and they would be easily removed for cleaning.

[@cathykirkmcrae7727]

Beautiful bathroom! Those photo's are giving me idea's!

[@lindabenford7134]

We do as much as we can ahead of time. The table will be set up to night before.

[@marymogckmishmashmary]

Yes, I love setting my table well in advance so I can enjoy the table each year❣️

[@noreneclaburn1782]

Yes, I set the table early. Wishing your family, Stuart's family and Leah's family a very blessed, happy and safe Thanksgiving. May God bless you all.

[@deniseruckart1890]

Linda, burgundy is your color. You look beautiful in that color.❤ by the way I received my amazing garden journal today. I can’t wait to start using it.

[@QueenAnnesLace13]

Awww, Linda and Leah holding the banner made my day, was very sweet and moving. Thank you both and Stewart too!

You and Leah are darling! Love your outfits!

[@CharlotteFairchild]

You have some great ideas, Linda! I love the way the pictures are placed.

[@rebeccafrancis8227]

I keep my table set always. I also enjoy decorating my table for each season. I even set the table on our glassed in porch always!!

[@ordiekelleher2641]

That bathroom is lovely.

[@GardeningSpirit]

I do not set my table extra early. I usually do it the day of (or the night before if we are having more people over). Every year my table is different. Last year I was much more inspired to decorate. This year I've been very low key and I just haven't had the time to decorate so I figured next year is another year, another opportunity to decorate.

[@bettygotschall4504]

I love that bathroom!!!! Yes the dark green almost black will look awesome on the wicker vanity. How about a potted palm to put in bathroom??? I love the brittish colonial look too, have it in my study. I have rattan chairs & table, wicker shelves with pictures of palm trees.

[@kristineolsen477]

Hi everyone. I took the quiz ang the result was spot on! Im a Quiet Traditionalist. I wish a very Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Your friend Kristine

[@kristiecox7350]

Ha, I just did a gallery wall last night. There’s room to add as well. I did one similar to your living room kinda

[@chrisogrady4956]

Like your changes in the bathroom decor. Thanksgiving table looks great, very festive. 🦃 HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL! 🦃

[@bonniehillard6713]

Linda, Just want to say, I enjoy getting your newsletter, especially this last one sent out. You were so right in everything you said! Looking forward to making the Maple cookies. I think I will try in a Christmas design. Look forward to all the Holiday Inspired Videos. By the way you and Leah look great in your outfits!

[@LindaVater]

Thanks dear!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

So fun to see all the ideas! Happy Thanksgiving, Linda and to your crew!!!

[@helenf9650]

I adore Xmas decorations made by kids. I always put up wreaths the kids made from green paint hand prints with their tiny hands in a circle. They are adults now. When I put up those wreaths, it brings a surge of love every time I see them. ❤ I hope you all have a lovely blessed thanksgiving.

I always enjoy your videos like this. You have great ideas! Absolutely love your bathroom. The towel stand is a great idea and addition. I also noticed the little bench in your shower. Do you remember where you got it?

[@juliecahill7550]

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Enjoyed the video. ❤

[@karenclevenstine2536]

Love the picture wall in the master bath! Happy Thanksgiving.

[@LULC0759]

Can’t wait to see what you do at Christmas, I don’t host Thanksgiving dinner, so fall decor gets put away early here and😂 the tree comes out.😂

[@user-sn1jt5sh2x]

As I see white high light on flowers pictures, it make sense to leave white on the legs of table, if you paint black, it will clash with pictures. It is master piece Art. Gorgeous bathroom.

[@ruthiewilliams3482]

I always do!!!!

[@dawncampbell9385]

Loving all the feedback from followers-

[@rodneymeikrantz9702]

We have been going to our son’s home for thanksgiving the last few years however when we did host Thanksgiving and now Christmas and New Year’s Day I always set the table ahead. I hate to rush to get it done. Linda, PA.

[@beverlyasleson3321]

I love the bathroom and the towel rack, Chair so becoming. Cute matching sweaters too you two are so cute together. Have a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁 ❤

[@sharonsomers5513]

What a beautiful bathroom and the picture wall is amazing. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁

[@velmasmama7402]

Omg I set my table early too! I love the anticipation of this Holiday so much, my daughter is helping me this year, she’s my “artsy fartsy “ kid lol, she has a degree in fine arts so she does all my decorating and picks out all my colors! You know I stood in the Wal-mart aisle on the phone with my daughter picking out a tablecloth, and another women of my age was on the phone with her Hubbs, and she looked at me and said “this is so hard” and we both laughed 😅! By the way Wall-mart Better Homes and Gardens household goods are great! Happiest of Thanksgiving to you Linda and yours and your Stewart and Leah, love you all.

[@nicholasrobertson9546]

We set our table waaaay early back in October 😂. Happy Thanksgiving from your Canadian neighbours. 🦃 🎉

[@karenlehn2351]

I have to ask! Isn’t Thanksgiving ,only an American traditional holiday?

[@nicholasrobertson9546]

​@@karenlehn2351 Common misconception! What is now Canadian Thanksgiving actually pre-dates American Thanksgiving and is observed in October to coincide with our shorter growing season and earlier harvest.

[@pomme800]

@@nicholasrobertson9546 Also, our Thanksgiving is in the most glorious part of autumn.a real harvest festival, giving thanks for the bounty of our land ...2nd Monday in October 🍂🍁

[@bobasilva2258]

Target is where we bought our Thanksgiving table decor by John Derian it was a collaboration collection so I’ve had it Turkey decor by JD since mid October. Linda your Turkey decor is as adorable as the JD collection. See it on line. Love Target as much as Linda’s creative ideas.

[@chrispetersen6402]

Hi Linda I just received the Garden Journal book. It’s terrific! So much information I was not expecting. Well done! I am excited to begin using it. Thank you😊 ❤🥰

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I have always loved British Colonial style and your bathroom is beautiful. I love the gold frames with the gorgeous photos, the tall towel stand, and the table is very nice. I did wonder where you got the wood-topped corks?

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

P.s. I agree, the corduroys are very reminiscent of Diane Keaton and one of my favorite movies, Baby Boom.

[@LindaVater]

I save them from different bottles of liquor… Whenever they are beautiful, I keep them

[@gailarnold2660]

The bathroom looks great. You have such creative great taste.

[@glgardener4972]

I also set my table in advance. I take a photo and then cover it with a large sheet until Thanksgiving. I too am using tea towels as napkins for the larger size. I used to be able to find 22inch square napkins which I loved but they are no longer available. Great ideas. Wishing all of you a very warm and enjoyable Thanksgiving.

[@christyluckett439]

That was 20 years ago your Son made that very nice

Here in Belgium we don t really celebrate Thanksgiving. Nevertheless I enjoy watching the people like you who do celebrate Thanksgiving. ( Hence I have a bit more time to prepare for Christmas😉... I bake a lot, thin boxes needs to be filled with gingerbread. I celebrate Advent, 4 Sundays before Christmas) Enjoy Thanksgiving Kind regards, Marcus
