I'm looking forward to having my loved ones gathered around this table as we give thanks and share our Thanksgiving meal together!
I enjoy bringing what I've envisioned to reality. I am so pleased with the results of my Thanksgiving tablescape.
I look forward to setting a pretty table for special occasions, and this one is of course very special, one that is all about gathering and enjoying a meal together, and being thankful!
For our Thanksgiving table I used some items I already had and few new items. In keeping with my desire to decorate on a budget, I try to practice some restraint in not over spending or buying a lot of new items if I don't need too.
I had the pumpkins, candle holders and floral arrangement on hand, then I picked up some lamb's ear greenery, mesh ribbon, and the curly burlap & sparkle picks. The sparkly apples were a recent find at the thrift store.
I had two different sets of round mats that were close in color, one set of eight and one set of six so I alternated them to have ample place settings for our family. We had thirteen of us!
I had already planned on using my glass plates, and then I added paper doilies under each one to add another layer and to dress it up a little. A simple cloth napkin and my pretty gold tableware finished off the look. I later added the water glasses and wine glasses to each place setting.
So pleased that what I had envisioned was even more beautiful than I'd imagined! Gotta love it when that happens.
I wish you a beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving!...
