Thanksgiving ~ 2023

Good Afternoon,

It’s the day after Thanksgiving and ours went very well this year. We just kept things simple and spent time with our kids and their girlfriends. I just wanted to catch up with them and see them. That was enough for me this year. 

It did take me a few days to figure out a table setting theme. I shared that I wanted a vintage inspired Christmas, and I wanted the same for Thanksgiving. Last weekend I went and got a pedicure at Woodhouse Spa and it was wonderful! I had a new girl, and she actually gave me a warm eucalyptus wrap for my neck. I so enjoyed it. While enjoying my pedicure, I decided to read the latest Victoria magazine to get some inspiration. 

After leaving the spa I headed to Midland antiques to look around for vintage decor. They had lots of beautiful items that day, but I did not want to spend too much. I did find a beautiful table runner which inspired this year’s look….

The green table runner in the middle was what I purchased from Midlands this year. I decided to layer some tablecloths at different sizes to see what I would end up with. 

I just loved all of the textures, different shades of green, and different designs. I pulled out all of my usual Christmas decor but decided to add a garland with this year’s design. 

I could not forget to add blue and white, and I had the idea of adding my swans from the Cake Bake Shop! I think that they fit perfectly into this year tablescape.

For flowers this year I decided to get potted ones. I wanted flowers that would last a little longer and I wanted something a little different. So, I found these small white and pink roses that were potted plants and I decided to place them in my smaller vases. They turned out so well. I pulled out my Spode Woodland plates and everything just came together. 

I really enjoyed Thanksgiving this year and look forward to spending time with family in the weeks ahead. I have already started my Black Friday Cybershopping and wanted to share that the boutique is having its sale as well!
