I REALIZE THIS IS SUPER LAST MINUTE, BUT I WAS JUST SO INSPIRED THIS MORNING OVER MY CUP OF COFFEE TO DO THIS YEAR’S THANKSGIVING TABLE A BIT DIFFERENTLY.
One of my favorite tablecloths to use, anytime and every time, is just a simple painter’s drop cloth from your local hardware store — I love them!I found all these dried wheat stalks years ago at a local craft store and made wreaths with them one year. For the most part I just throw the stalks into whatever vase or bowl I’m in love with at the moment.Again, I always love using branches or flowers from my own garden (or whoever’s I’m in at the time). This is a black diamond crape myrtle. I love the color!Now, I’ve collected all my goodies to put together tomorrow’s Thanksgiving table.I love these little corn guys.I’m ready to clip my fun branches to fit into my black wooden pots. I clipped some branches from an oak tree as well. Clipping them away from the table to avoid making a ginormous mess.And, she’s all done and ready to be enjoyed…My favorite guy, Bruno, who always gives me great support, but can be a little camera shy.I strongly believe in creating a table that moves you. Throw away the perfection part of it, or whatever prevents you from living the way you want to live. I even mix and match placemats, napkins, whatever works at the time. I’ve never been a rule follower when it comes to design or entertaining. As we all know the most important part of Thanksgiving, or any meal, is that we enjoy time with friends and family. Ever thankful for those around us and the time we have together.
Beautiful!!
