Friday Favorite

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Friday Favorite, but I saw this image on Pinterest and I couldn’t resist.

How cool is this piece of bluestone that has been scored to work like a drain? I love the creativity and uniqueness of hiding something that is needed, and I will definitely keep this design in mind for future projects.

Have a good one,

Inspiring Tablescapes for Thanksgiving Entertaining

Are you ready?

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and there’s no time like now to start hammering out the details.

If you are like me, you ~~haven’t done the first thing to prepare~~ are determined to make the festive day smooth and stress-free. After all, the holiday is about coming together and giving thanks for all we are grateful.

BUT…….. Long before the food is served, your table will make a first impression.

Some of the loveliest tables aren’t necessarily about the china or silver, but rather the natural elements that suggest the occasion. I love fine china and silver as much as the next person, but what really makes the table for me is a thoughtful arrangement, place cards, or special linens.

As mentioned in a previous post, unique napkin folds are an simple way to add elegance to your table. If you haven’t already, watch this video as I show how easily napkin folding can be done in a unique way.

Below we are sharing some of our favorite tablescapes from Pinterest.

Handmade place cards are such a nice, detailed touch. Image by Cottage and Vine

Instead of place cards, why not use words that are reminiscent of Thanksgiving such as thankful, grateful, appreciative and fortunate. A wonderful way to bring the Thanksgiving spirit to your table. | The Glamorous Housewife — Instead of place cards, use words that remind you of giving thanks. Image from The Glamorous Housewife.

Beautiful and simple are the words for the day. Here’s to getting your table ready to give thanks,
