Thanksgiving Table - 2012

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving

is the time spent with family.

This year we will be hosting

Mr. B's mom & dad

for Thanksgiving dinner.

I love being able to 

set our dining room table

knowing that love and

good times will be shared at it.

Since I used a pretty busy

tablecloth, I decided to keep

the rest of the decor simple.

It will also be easy to remove 

to make room for our feast.

A thrift store cornucopia filled

with small faux pumpkins,

gourds and pinecones surrounded

by matching ceramic pumpkins

is all it needed.

 I alternated red and green plates

set upon an off white placemat.

 I then topped each dinner plate with 

an off white salad plate from 

our every day Gibson set

and then added a square purple Fall

bowl I purchased, on clearance last year,

from Michael's.

The amber goblets are from Goodwill and

the green stems are from the Dollar Tree.

The perfect color for the holiday!

The flatware was a gift from Mr. B.

I love the design!

It adds a touch of elegance to the otherwise

simple table.

 I can't recall where the brown napkins came from

but, I do know that the napkin rings

are from the clearance bin at Pier 1.

 Simple green and red votives

add just the right amount of sparkle

to the table.

I have also decorated the

buffet for the holiday

but, I will save that for another post.

This year I am

thankful for Mr. B. 
He is always there with a hug and a
shoulder.
Both of which I have needed this year.


I am also thankful for my sons, my new daughters,

and, of course, my new

 grandson! 

Getting to see them all

and give them hugs and kisses

just made my year! 

I really couldn't be more blessed! 

I always share my tables with
