Is anyone interested in a quick, small Thanksgiving nature table swap? While we were at nature class today, sittin gin the longhouse, Kenna and I started thinking about the cool scene we could set up on the nature table abotu the first Thanksgiving.

* Swap would be limited to the first 6 people, no exceptions.
* You would be sending 5 items.
*** Mailing date is Monday, November 7th, no exceptions. If you do not think you will be able to mail by that date, please do not sign up. Thanksgiving is the 24th and there needs to be enough time to have the packages get to me and be shipped back to you before the holiday.

Some ideas that Kenna and I were talking about are:
* teepes (that's what we are making)
* Native American bendies
* Pilgrim bendies
* long houses
* wigwams
* small Pilgrim type houses
* knit/crocheted cornucopias with clay fruits and veggies
* fire with a cooking pot hanging over it
* corn field (field of maize)
* knit/crocheted baskets with collected clay fruits/veggies/nuts/oysters/fish
* long tables for the thanksgiving feast
* clay food for the thanksgiving feast

Are you making turkeys like the Thanksgiving turkey on the dinner table, or turkeys like turkeys with feathers waddling around? Don't have a preference, just wondering

huntersmama · 10-14-2005, 07:57 PM

oh i'd love to be in

I can do the cornicopia and clay veggies

and I would LOVE a felted canoe

Korwynne · 10-14-2005, 11:04 PM

LOL - I was planning on the pre-entree variety.

I may get brave and try to sew them, but it'll probably be clay

We've got a couple dream catchers but would love a canoe
