Welcome To On The Avenue Home Decor & Gifts. Years ago my husband and I bought our first home. It was a very old home and needed a lot of tender love and care. I had the vision of what I wanted and my husband was able to help me bring it to life. As we began building and creating items for our home, we had another idea..... What if we started our own business and offered our creations to others who share the same love and passion for decorating as we do. Here we are, 17 years later, sharing our creations and designs with friends everywhere.

You Must List What You Are Thankful For!

I want everyone to really think about this. I am so thankful for the simple things in life. This morning we had our fire place lit, fresh bread baking, laundry washing in the washer, happy kids and so much more. I think it is very easy to get caught up in the things we dont have, instead of focusing on what we do have. We have learned through many hard lessons that the simple things in life are some of our most wonderful blessings. Thank You For sharing.

  7. I am grateful for a functioning healthy body. My grandpa just got diagnoised with bladder cancer. You never know when its going to happen to you. Be grateful that your body works and is healthy everyday. And I'm grateful for my family. The ones living and in heaven. And for trials in my life. Without them I would not be as strong as I am today and better because of them. The holidays for my family could be sad and full of painful memories after my brothers died, but I chose not to let them. Its a wonderful time to remember them and be grateful for eternal families!

  12. I am thankful for the beauty of being able to go to the grocery store when we need food, the Dr. when we are sick, and church when we are down. I am very blessed to have everything i need not necessarily what i want.

  13. I have been thinking a lot about the many things I am thankful for this month. One thing I tend to overlook is that of color. So today, I am grateful for color. Life certainly would be boring if everything were black and white.

  14. Weirdly enough, I am thankful for the struggles I have faced in my life. (Easier to say now than when in the midst of one!) Without my struggles I wouldn't be the person I am today. Nor could I appreciate the people in my life like I do. Without struggles you forget the simple things in life that matter most.

  17. I'm so thankful for - my amazing son who when my husband and I separated in April has picked up the pieces and done all of the "man" things without complaint and most time without even being asked. My parents who dispite my failure stand behind me 100% and are willing to help with anything I need... For having a job that I love and awesome co-workers who can make a "down day" into a sunny one!

    I love the trees... using the hearts and ribbon really completes them... thanks so much! Happy holidays!

  18. What I am thankful for..... A happy healthy family. Watching my 3 year old having the time of his life playing in the snow. For my 18 month olds hugs and kisses. For my hubby and all of his hard work. Having a warm home to come home to with food on the table. And for each single breath that I am able to take.
