Happy Thanksgiving

I was hoping to do a really nice Thanksgiving round-up to end this short week, but it’s just been one of those days.  So I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and Black Friday. 

and if you need a few extra easy details for your celebration try out this free downloadable tablescape from Paper & Cake and a placemat for the kids to color via Create My Event

This year everyone can be lucky

Thanksgiving: Harvest Opulence

This American Harvest table from Country Living  is so lovely and lush.  Thanksgiving is the perfect time for a temporary departure from simple and modern.  This tablescape is all about a return to American traditions and family heirlooms, so dust off grandma’s china and create a lush tablescape that reflects your own family history.

   

 

 

 

and even though this lovely theme is meant to showcase all those gorgeous antiques and heirlooms, here are a few fun pieces to add to the collection this year.

 

 

1.  Pottery Barn Quail Plates, 2. Sur la Table Glass Cloches, 3.  Pottery Barn Voluminous Vases, 4. Pottery Barn Pear Placecard Holders

Country Harvest Party

I wished I lived somewhere where there is actually an Autumn, it’s hard to get into the Thanksgiving mood when it’s almost 90 degrees outside. Well, this Country Harvest Party from The Finer Things has helped somewhat.  I especially love that gourd garland.
