Our Thanksgiving Table

Happy Tuesday Sweet Friends,

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving

weekend, and maybe got a lil something

done towards Christmas.........

Oh my, today is the last day of November,

can hardly believe it.....but it's true......lol

We were happy that our daughter got to

come back here on Saturday and spend

some time with us, then Sunday she

visited one of her best friends, and

Sunday night we watched lil darling

so she, Megan and Scott went out to

dinner to celebrate Megan's birthday, and

 so they could have a nice interrupted

dinner, and all you Mom's know what

I mean................lol

We did get our tree up, nothing but lights

on it thus far, but that will come........

Today Dee is still here and will be here

till later this afternoon, so not sure what

or if we are doing yet.........she is still 

sleeping. She was tired and not feeling 

super as she has been around 2 lil ones 

 that have colds, so we are hoping she

 isn't catching their colds. Neither of 

them was not lil darling, Thankfully.

Wanted to show you are Thanksgiving

table today and get it posted before

December........so today is the day!!  lol

I had seen an inspiration picture in a 

Better Homes and Garden magazine

 that I took with me on vacation, and just
 loved a table I saw in there, so decided 
that was what I wanted to do for Thanks-
giving, as it was a bit more modern than
 usual and it would be quite different
 for a change.  When it came time to
actually do the table I could not find
my inspiration picture in any of the
magazines I thought it was in,  so the
table is a bit different.  Know they 
used real pears, but couldn't remember
what else,  so I just used the candle
instead.

So while I was in Asheville I found this 

pretty solid turquoise wrapping paper.

It is actually bluer than this picture

makes it look.

It's really this shade of blue.......

only darker which you will see a 

couple of pics down.  I took a 

plate from the set I was going to

be using to set the table, and 

then took one of the bowls and 

turned it upside down to make a 

cake plate again, and then added 

the gold pumpkin with the orange

 berries.

Used the gold mercury glass candleholders

 again and the orangier colored leaves.

Used a gold tablecloth then added the blue 

wrapping paper over that, then used my

shabby chic dishes.  This and the header

pic were my trial pictures......

Used my Wedding Silverware, and 

clear crystal goblets, to add some

elegance.

Already had the right color of blue napkins,

so just folded them into a lil pillow,  then

knew I needed some orange to tie it together,

so made the Happy Thanksgiving place cards

Added the Place cards and just a stripe

 of orange satin ribbon and a tiny pumpkin

for some more orange accents.

A nice overview

Overview with a  Posterized Affect

This gold pumpkin is one of my favorites,
I have 3  of them and they were all on the
 so borrowed this one off the mantle for
the table.

From opposite end of the table

Well, hope you enjoyed our 
Thanksgiving Table,  we did!


Glad you could drop by for a visit,
always a pleasure to have you 
come by...........


Have a lovely week!
and
Keep your light shining brightly

Love, Hugs and
Happy December Blessings,
Nellie
