So much to be Thankful For - Thanksgiving Tablescape

 What a wonderful thing to look at all you have to be Thankful for!  No matter all the negative things going on in this world today, I have so much that I am grateful and blessed to be graced with. 

We are celebrating Thanksgiving with our group of talented women and ourTablescaping Blog Hop today. Much thanks goes out to our leader, Rita from Panoply.

There will be links to all of the participating table stylist's blogs at the bottom of my post.  This will give you the inspiration to get your turkey day a gobbling!

Thanksgiving has always been a time to reflect on what I am so appreciative of, most of which are not material things.  Some of the things that come to mind are the love of my children, the laughter of my grandsons, the wet kiss of my dog, the sun that peers through my windows in the morning, the ability to take a beautiful walk through the park.  I am grateful for all of these things and more which is the reason I like to celebrate this day!

We gather, we feast, 

We laugh and we may even cry,

but mostly we love and appreciate.

Speaking of being appreciated- or rather unappreciated - I guess - are the poor turkeys who strut their stuff just to be stuffed with dressing

and served up to be the main dish!
A silly thing I am thankful for is that I now live closer to a grocery store that actually has decent fresh flowers for sale!!  (It is the little things in life that thrill me!!)  So I picked up a sleeve of spider mums and one of mixed button mums, added some faux ferns and leafy stems and arranged them in some small wood bowls to place with my textured pumpkins for a centerpiece.

Since my centerpiece is pretty busy, I kept my placesettings pretty simple.  .The large gauzy pumpkin print napkins and the leather like weaved placemats were from a trip to HomeSense.  Then I walked two stores down to a Kirklands where they had these scalloped rust colored edge plates on clearance.  Guess it was just meant to be!

This plate was just screaming for a piece of pumpkin pie!!

I hope your Thanksgiving is like a slice a pumpkin pie with whip cream and sprinkles on top!
Enjoy!!

In the past few years my interests have grown from fabric to paper and now to dishes too! I just love prints, polkadots, plaids and paisleys- hence the blog name.

  1. Ann, Your Thanksgiving table centerpiece is beautiful! I love the organic nature of it with the pumpkins and Indian corn tucked in among the tree slice chargers. Having a grocery store nearby with decent flowers is indeed a thing to be thankful for…my kingdom for a Trader Joe’s. 😊 I love the carefree knotting of your gauzy pumpkin print napkins on your plates. Your slice of pumpkin pie is the perfect ending and finishing touch! As always, it’s a treat to have a virtual seat at the table. Happy November! 🦃🧡
