Thanksgiving crept up on me this year. My mind has been occupied with other things and I didn’t have any real inspiration for an invitation. So, I went with leftovers…fitting, eh?
A few years ago, I made our Thanksgiving place cards with this Acorn kit from Paper Source. I had some leftovers, which I saved and used as a garland or something last year. Anyway, one acorn got a new life as an invitation. I typed out a basic note on vellum and cut it out with a circle punch. Then I tied the vellum on with a little gold and white twine. 
I used a vellum envelope embellished with some squirrel and leaves washi tape and I used one of my “vintage” Thanksgiving stamps (a purchase from the Stamp King of Chicago.) 
Seriously, that stamp is a cornucopia of postal goodness. (If you’re interested, here is a little article that shows the USPS Thanksgiving stamp offerings.) 
Here it is, all packed up.
And now…back to cleaning and menu planning!

Beautiful! And LOVE the stamps!!!
Seeing those photos left me with a huge smile. The acorns are so cute and creative! I love how you’d be able to see them through the vellum envelope.
Thank you! That’s my favorite part, too!
Super cute invites!! Love them!
Thank you!
These came out great! I love thanksgiving. This year we are having it at my house. Can’t wait 🙂
Hosting is a lot of work but SO MUCH FUN! Thanksgiving really is my favorite holiday…don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas, but Thanksgiving holds a special place in my heart because it’s all about gathering and eating without the pressure of perfect presents 😉
