Thanksgiving at our place is a busy yet joyous ride.
with all the the effort that goes into hosting, we didn't forget
the bread in the oven...but we did forget to take a photo of
the tables before we dined.
a few of you asked me to photograph the centerpieces.
i must admit...they will be on our farm table for the weekend,
as i absolutely loved how the turned out!
the centerpiece on the farm table.
(have i mentioned how much i love laundered burlap?)
the Pilgrims are from my Mom's past Thanksgiving tablescapes.
they resided on the kid's table with baskets that held vegetables, fruit and
a vintage tablespoon and butter knife
from my grandmother's Thanksgiving place settings.
each guest took home gifts. everyone kept their napkin (a T-towel from Ikea),
their "rendre grace" clay tag {love you, Jami}, the girls were given two small pouches,
one with lavender and the other with bay leaves from our back yard, and the guys...
...just a wee bit of Jameson!

What a wonderful time you had with your families!
ReplyDeleteI CAN'T BELIEVE I won a Glassy Baby! I had never even heard of them before. I am smiling all over-see even my belly button is turned up sideways in a smile- okay...never mind that...because skinny people don't HAVE belly buttons that can turn sideways in a smile! Anyway...I will send you my address via email!
Thank you SOOOO much! xo Diana
