I love to host Thanksgiving! All the gorgeous colours and textures are so inspiring!
I love to set a pretty table but I don’t want to spend a lot of money and I try to use what I have on hand. I already had the perfect dishes (I got them at Costco quite a few years ago), so the only things I had to buy for this table setting were the little blocks that say “give thanks”, and the pumpkins.
I was pretty happy with my centrepiece. I used a glass tray that has two ‘levels’ and put the candles on the top level. After I had it arranged, I sprinkled green rocks over everything and added a few willow balls for extra texture.
Can you believe that I found these beautiful wild purple asters growing in the ditch! Love that!
So perfect with the purple dishes…
Purple, green, gold…
… burgundy…
… leaves cut from scrapbook papers…
… same for the serviette holders… with a spring of fresh thyme…
So much to give thanks for!
Thank you for dropping by, and checking out my tablescape!
very nice! i love that plate set! love all the colors and pattern, too!
Barb, you are my idol! I usually wait until about 2 days (if I’m lucky) before to decide what I’m doing. And, if I had set the table that beautifully, I’d put a drop cloth on it with a sign that reads ‘Off Limits until Thanksgiving’ just so I wouldn’t have to do it over. And I want those dishes!!! Beautiful!
Oh you are so good…I have Thanksgiving every year…but ours ofcourse is in November. Can I borrow your plates & bowls…they would look equally nice on my table. Love the decor, all the mix and match is wonderful. So much to see, your guests will be delighted.
So lovely and so inviting.
So pretty Barb I love your colour scheme subtle but with a hint of Autumn your guests will love it…
Looks great! Now I’m ready for a turkey dinner. Is that what you serve in Canada on Thanksgiving? I love your dishes and that you like to mix up the colors.
I love it! I’m working on mine today too! I love this time of year!

Looks nice Barb. I wish we had a picture of the entire table. :)
Those dishes are awesome! The autumnal colors are brilliant and the little touches you added make everything so festive! Love it. Be proud. :)
Your Thanksgiving setup is fantastic. We are getting ready for Thanksgiving at our cottage on the lake. I’m sorry I haven’t been by for a visit lately it’s been kind of busy! I’ve been busy setting up my photography business. I’ve taken a big step in setting up my own website and would love your feedback. You can find my site at http://rossmccreeryphotography.com
I love the eclectic feel with every place setting being a bit different. Beautiful!
How beautiful and your guests are very lucky to share in your talent! Well done!
i need to get going on some Fall decor or something! I bought some MUMS but that’s about it;)
I need to start thinking about Cdn Thanksgiving, too, since it’s coming up FAST! I love the mix and match of dishes that you have. And your touches of blue!
Beautiful! Counting down to Canadian Thanksgiving….
