Some scenes from our 2015 Thanksgiving...
I forgot to take pictures of the people and the food -
but here's a glimpse of the decor...

My starting point this year was this lovely runner that I picked up for $2.50.
It said 'elegant' to me - so I paired it with lace...
I have some Libby glasses with leaves that are fun to pull out
for the season (from my mother).
And I found these leaves motif votives for 25 cents each at a thrift shop.
So I decided in lieu of center candles to have a votive
at each person' place setting...
More thrift finds (a Pilgrim family) graced the center...
I discovered I still had a few white mums blooming - so I made
small bouquets with some ornamental grass from my flower beds...

Our dining room is adjacent to the kitchen with no separating wall.
So on the kitchen table - I often put more decor. Truth be told -
it's a place to store the everyday decor from my dining room table
now that it's in use for 'dining'. Make sense?

I created a grouping that is visually appealing from all sides...
I carried the mums bouquet onto this table...
The terrarium has been a fun find ($9.99) that I'm enjoying filling for the seasons.
The bowls of acorns? I came upon them on a walk yesterday and
stuffed my pockets figuring I'd find some place to use them.
This is where they landed...

The swan was a find from a yard sale this year for $2.
A few faux vines brings into 'fall'...
It was a good Thanksgiving for us with family members that
don't often get together.

Your table is lovely and I enjoyed reading about where the items were found. Our day was a quiet one with just the two of us. We had chicken enchiladas for dinner and then cheesecake for dessert this evening. We missed our children...all living far off. I AM thankful for all of our blessings, but this was a difficult day. My husband said the same, I do think it will be our new "normal" so I need to learn to adjust. I am happy for my friends, both here and in blog land who have the joy of gathering with their loved ones.
Many Blessings,
Betsy
Such a pretty table. The pilgrim family is perfect! Thanks for joining Home Sweet Home!
