Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving with friends and family, and hopefully a delicious spread.  I just wanted to take a second to say all that I'm thankful for this year.  I am thankful for my readers, our friends and family, our four-legged companions, this life, this baby, and the Mister.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Colorful and Glamorous Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I can already smell the stuffing cooking and the pumpkin pie baking, and the best part of any holiday is spending it with loved ones.  That's why I love the intimate, cozy, and festive atmosphere of this Thanksgiving dinner party, it's perfect for sharing a meal with great friends and family.  From the gilded candles and lanterns, to the lush autumn floral arrangements in those adorable pumpkins, to the rustic vibe with the wood table, twigs, and newspaper on the walls, this is a holiday party we'd love to attend.

Back to Nature Thanksgiving

An au natural Thanksgiving celebration.  With rustic elements, using the outdoors for decor and stylish presentation, and plenty of earth tones to warm any gathering, this simple table scape becomes the focal point of any Thanksgiving dinner.   Love that the colors of the autumn are vibrant at the dinner table, but aren't over powering in anyway, because let's face it, at Thanksgiving the food is the showstopper. Enjoy!

Tanksgiving Tablescape

Loving the autumn colors in this Thanksgiving table scape, and the warm inviting feeling of sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner.  With rich chocolate browns offset by creamy whites, acorn centerpieces, Moroccan wine glasses, individual pies, and adorable mini wishbones, there are so many great details to this simple and festive table scape.

Rustic Thanksgiving Dinner

I can't believe Thanksgiving is less that 3 weeks away!  I adore how the colors of autumn are perfectly capture in this rustic outdoor Thanksgiving dinner table.  Ripe pomegranates, squash, cranberries taking center stage as either part of the centerpiece or place settings.  Beautiful, multicolored leaves flank the table, and mason jars with candles suspended from a tree branch create an inviting atmosphere.  Love how fall textures like cotton, burlap, wicker, and jute that accent the wine bottles, place settings, and chairs.  And subtle hints of gold add a little holiday flair to the meal, it's Thanksgiving perfection!

Modern Thanksgiving Dinner

Love the rich, warm fall colors of this modern Thanksgiving dinner.  The organic and rustic elements add a sense of tradition and warmth.  While new traditions in the form of 'thankful' jars bring a modern touch to this fabulous Thanksgiving dinner.  I am so in love with some of these amazing details: from the poached pears, to the canning jar apple drink station, the beautiful white pumpkin and green apple centerpiece, to the beautifully laid out sideboard, and lovely paper details.  Time to let your eyes enjoy the visual feast!

What I'm Thankful For

I came across this adorable way of storing your 'thanks' over at the Young House Love blog.  Every year we say what we're thankful for at our Thanksgiving dinner, why not write it down  (yes I'm pretty sure we did this in grade school).  Seriously though, I  love this idea of writing down things you are thankful for all month or week long and reading them out-loud at thanksgiving day dinner.  And this jar is adorable!  (Oh the fun things you can do with glass etch)  I think we'll start a tradition this year and add the cards to a book that we can keep and share for years to come.

I love this table!  It's very fall and rustic/romantic all in one.  But what I love even more are these pumpkin whoppie pies.  Normally, I'm not a huge fan of the concept, but a pumpkin twist, that's something I have to try! Get the recipe here.
