Thanksgivukkah Decorating

I am thrilled to participate in the Thanksgivukkah Progressive Dinner! A group of bloggers have gotten together and planned out appetizers, drinks, sides, entrees and dessert for Thanksgivukkah, and it's up to me to provide my favorite thing... decor! 

I put together 4 ideas I think you'll love! At the end of this post you'll find links to all of the other bloggers participating in this event. 

DIY

Keep reading to find DIY instructions and 3 other projects!

I put together a new DIY for Thanksgivukkah, which you could really use every year, that'll look great on your table; the jar with the dreidel on top is a pretty match-strike (you strike the match against the reactor strip under the lid!), and instead of bringing a matchbook to your table, and a pretty jar to hold your candles.

Materials List: 

Glass Jar

Large box of matches

Dreidel

Turkey (mine is a Schleich)

2 glass jars with silver lids

Chrome spray paint

Hot glue gun

Instructions:

1. Cut a section off the side of the matchbox, as big as will fit inside the lid of your jar, and using hotglue, glue it inside the lid.

2. Spray paint the dreidel and turkey. Place a big drop of hot glue in the center of your lid and place the dreidel there at an angle. Do the same with the turkey and your second lid. Hold it for 30 seconds or until dry.

3. Turn all matches the same direction so they look nice and neat in your jar.

SET THE TABLE

It's not going to be easy to mash up Thanksgiving and Hanukkah, but let's do the best we can! I love the elements of Thanksgiving and just don't want to pass them by. Some wheat here, and "Happy Thanksgivukkah" utensils there and we are on our way!

CARVED PUMPKIN

If you haven't yet discovered what amazing things you can do with a linoleum cutter, it's time. It is just the best pumpkin carving tool out there! With so many pumpkins left in the pumpkin patch, I thought I'd save one for Thanksgivukkah and write a little message. I think it'll be a great centerpiece for a buffet table!

SUCCULENTS

If you're straying from a traditional Thanksgiving or Hanukkah decoration, why not go with the flow and decorate with succulents? Grab a few varieies of plants, and add some touches of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah to your planter to create an earthy decoration. Use them on your dessert table, or give them as gifts to send home with your guests!

Check out those amazing planters! They are from the plumbing section at Lowe's. And the Turkey in the planter? It's a spray painted lollipop.

These terrariums were made by Jill Crane, of Simcha's Events. She is a wedding plannerand good friend, and I just love to go to her with my vague ideas and see what she comes up with! She is a true visionary in transforming a space for an event. I am so grateful to Jill for helping create a beautiful Thanksgivukkah post!

And thanks to Stef from Cupcake Project for putting this Thanksgivukkah Potluck together!

Thanksgivukkah

We're looking forward to something super special this year- the beginning of Hanukkah during Thanksgiving! This hasn't happened for a hundred years and won't happen for another gazillion, so we are definitely celebrating this event... cranberry sauce on lates this year! We've got forks for the event too, of course.

Did I mention there would also be gift tags? You can hardly give a gift without having the proper gift tags, can you?

SHOP: forks | gift labels

We've also had a blast putting together this board on Pinterest of all of our favorite Thanksgivukkah things!

If you're celebrating Thanksgivukkah too this year, drop us a line and let us know what you're planning!

DIY Kits... Options, Options, Options!

Have we mentioned how we're just a littttlllle bit in love with our DIY kits?
Let me give you the quick run down: the kit includes 20 blank ice cream spoons and 20 vinyl stickers, specially cut to exactly fit onto the handle of the spoon. The stickers are fun and easy to adhere, and hold fast once in position. (Don't worry, the kit comes with simple instructions!)

Why use our DIY kits?
Look at how bright and bold the colors are! In many cases we can only do single color printing on our utensils when doing it by hand, here we have great color combos, including sparkly metallic gold! The colors are non-fade, non-smear, and you get to do it yourself, which is just plain good times.

It comes in a cute little package, shown top right, which would slide so easily into a holiday stocking!!

Donut Broches - Wear Your Food!

I bought myself a Donut broach from Michelle's Creature Type booth at a craft festival earlier this year. I was really instantly obsessed. 

I got the idea to sell a few other really well done handmade items and went all the way to NYC to go to the Renegade Craft Fair. I came home empty handed, and realized it was silly that I didn't see what was right before my eyes. Michelle's donut pins really belong in Sucre Shop's store!

So now we have them! A collection of donut pins by Creature Type for Sucre Shop and I am so thrilled. I hope you'll pick one up - well, one for yourself, and one to gift. They are SO cute. To see more art from Creature Type, visit their store!

What I Want For My Birthday

It may be a little childish, but somewhere in between turning 5 and 35 I developed a desire to make a list of things I want for my birthday! Before anyone gets too excited about the immaturity of this act, just a side note that of course what I really want most is just for my family and friends to be healthy and happy, for my business to succeed, for security and peace... yada yada yada. Now, on to my more materialistic side. I want...
