Today Emma and I had so much fun hosting our very first Friendsgiving! We got to try out a bunch of new thanksgiving recipes (we'll be sharing our favorites with you soon!) and spend time with friends. The only problem with Friendsgiving is that I wish I had room for WAY more friends. Not a bad problem to have. 
Emma roasted her first thanksgiving turkey! It was 20 pounds and locally raised. It was pretty exciting and it turned out beautiful. 
I enjoyed using my new bar cart! We tried a few new cocktails and also a hot spiced chai. 
After our gigantic lunch we also ate homemade pies and watched the kids turn our dining room into a giant play house, wrapping yarn around and around and around and around. It was pretty cute!
We hope your weekend was amazing too! xoxo. Elsie
PS. Special thank you to all our friends who joined us for Friendsgiving! Love you very much Jeremy, Trey, Mallory, Doren, Penny, Johnny, Katie, Hope, Poesy, Becky + Jacob (listen to their band, The Honey Trees, it's beautiful) and Simon (download his new app, Afterglow!).
Heather, Thank you so much! I painted them with a base of oil base kilz primer and then used rust-oleum brush on paint in safety yellow for the top coat(s). It was a lot of painting, but the finish is very strong + we love them! 😀 I’ll be doing a full post about them soon.
I’m in love with your dining room chairs! The shade of yellow is perfection! Did you spray them?
You guys are awesome and I love the lace hanging from the chandelier , I really nice simple tip.
