Letter of Thanksgiving and Shopping List
Give thanks for each new morning with its light; For rest and shelter of the night; For health and food, for friends and love; For everything thy goodness sends. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Herma’s Thanksgiving Letter
Dear Friends,
As I look back on my life I am so grateful that I have dedicated so much of my time bringing people together – providing new friends and old with delicious foods for the table, state-of-the-art cookware for the kitchen, dinnerware for entertaining guests, and beautiful gifts that bring joy to loved ones and friends.
Some of the best moments in my life have centered around my dining room table. I want those moments to be magical, not just for myself, but for everyone. That is why I feel Thanksgiving is so special.
I hope you will let us provide you with quality ingredients for the meal you are going to prepare and beautiful dinnerware and table settings that will set the mood, creating just the right ambiance. We want to provide you with everything you will need to make celebrating with family and friends a wonderful experience.
Whether you choose to visit us or not this holiday weekend, I hope that you experience magical moments with family and friends – magical moments that may be treasured in your heart for years to come and always.
With Love,
Herma
