“Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.””
Matthew 9:37-38
Happy Monday dear readers! It is the third Monday of the month which means it is Monday Morning Blooms with my sweet blogging friends! I would enjoy the pleasure of your company at my abundant harvest table!
“Reflect upon your present blessings – of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”
-Charles Dickens
Our common theme today is “harvest.” We all know the laws of the harvest; you must plant a seed in order to reap!
You will find the links for my talented friends at the bottom of this post. Be sure to take note of our fabulous Christmas giveaway. You will not want to miss our December 2nd Monday Morning Blooms for a chance to win a beautiful fresh centerpiece. We will also be most excited to welcome back Shirley!
We live in the country where farms surround us…we look forward each year to observing the results of the local farmers hard work and enjoy seeing the crops being harvested.
If you are a regular reader you know that our son owns his own digital media business. He captured this amazing photo of cotton harvest…
…and this one of soybean harvest. There are numerous fields of cotton, corn, and soybeans in our Appalachian Foothills!
My harvest table would be perfect for Thanksgiving with the table runner of natural elements. Anyone can make this by simply gathering autumn fruits, vegetables, and flowers. I used almost the entire length of the table for my harvest runner, but you could make it any length. First, I placed all the fruit and vegetables on the table. Next, I added the four floral arrangements in julep cups, and then filled with dried hydrangeas, ginkgo leaves, eucalyptus, and feathers.
Vintage Johnson Brothers “Harvest Time” was the perfect pattern choice for the table…I love its scalloped edging!
Wicker chargers add texture and stemware from Tuesday Morning (many years ago) blends with the the Harvest Time pattern!
“You reap what you sow: Life is like a boomerang. Our thoughts, deeds, and words return to us sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.”
-Grant M. Bright
Gala and Granny Smith apples, red pears and grapes, pomegranates, acorn and butternut squash, tiger striped pumpkins, antler sheds, seed pods, beautyberries…combine with elements foraged from my yard and garden to create the harvest table runner!
The tablecloth has a beautiful pattern of fruits piled high in an Italian urn on each corner and the center of the cloth.
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”
-William Arthur Ward

Pam, Your table is truly an abundance and harvest of beauty! The flowers, fruit and foliage make a spectacular organic runner for your harvest table or Thanksgiving and I love the addition of the antlers and feathers for contrast and texture. You know I have a special place in my heart with Harvest Time by Johnson Brothers as it was my grandmother’s pattern. I only have a few pieces of hers as most were chipped or broken. Love seeing your son’s photos of the cotton field and soybean harvest! As always it’s treat to join you for some flower therapy on Mondays. ♥
Thanks so much Mary, you are a sweetheart❤️
Beautiful beautiful bountiful table!! Thank you for sharing…my favorite on your table are your goblets…so pretty!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! 🦃🍁🍽
Thank you for your visit and Happy Thanksgiving Ellen!
That is a gorgeous table runner of fruits, vegetables and flowers, Pam! Just beautiful, especially on your dining table. The aerial shots by your son are so wonderful too.
Thanks so much Rita! Have a wonderful week!
Pam, a beautiful Harvest Table. Perfect to gather family and friends and count our blessings. Love the aerial photos of the beautiful fields, looks like VA. Wishing you a lovely day and week, my friend.
Thank you dear Sandra. Wishing you a lovely week!
Love the photography!Pam your table is truly a representation of fall harvest. Just beautiful.
Thank you so much sweet Della! Wishing you a most blessed Thanksgiving!
What a lush, gorgeous table! I was thinking about you the other night and how you manage to come up with so many, many creative ideas. God certainly blessed you with many talents. I love your son’s aerial shots of the cotton harvest, it is pretty mind boggling!
Thank you Roxanne and you are gracious and kind with your comments ❤️
So gorgeous Pam! I love the way you styled your runner, and that you were able to use so many things from your garden and yard, the dried hydrangeas, berries, flowers and leaves. The pomegrantes, red pears, grapes and pumpkins all happily mingle with eucalyptus, antlers and feathers. A table of bounty for sure! Will this be your table for your family Thanksgiving? The plates are perfect! The cotton harvest photo is incredible!! Love that!
Jenna
Thank you Jenna. Yes, I will do a scaled down harvest runner much like this one. I don’t like an arrangement to interfere with conversation and this low profile runner is perfect and also easy. Since I do all the food, easy tablescape is a win!
Your table reflects a generous harvest. Dr. Charles Stanley says it perfectly, “you reap what you sow, more than you sow, later than you sow”. Amen? The pictures taken by your son show the bounty God provides in a beautiful light.
Great quote from Dr. Stanley and very true. Thank you Alice!
Beautiful centerpiece, full of lovely flowers with seasonal colors. Love your settings too.
Thanks so much Carole! Happy Thanksgiving
Love nature’s bounty, beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Pam, I had forgotten it was time for MMB. What a nice surprise!
Your table is stunning! Your runner is so lush and beautiful! Gorgeous fall flowers and I loved the gingko leaves around the edges. Combing fruit, flowers, and vegetables with elements from your fall garden was perfect.
The quotes and scriptures were convicting and beautiful to ponder. You tell a delightful story with your pictures and seeing your dramatic tablecloth with fruit and flowers was the crowning touch.I almost forgot how lovely your dishes and glassware compliment your lovely centerpiece.
Thank you my friend for your sweet kindness! Wishing you a wonderful week❤️
What a lovely harvest table! Just beautiful.
Thank you Penny!
Pam, this is so beautiful. It is extra special to me since I was with you when you picked out some of the flowers! You are so talented; I wish you could come and help me with my tables! And I love Seth’s photos. Have a wonderful week, dear friend. I so enjoyed my visit, and look forward to the next time. Love to all!
Thank you dear friend. I wish I could be there to help you with your tables. Wishing you a wonderful week! ❤️
Golly, I think this melange and gorgeous table setting is my favorite for this year. I often raid the late flower beds(won’t this year, everything was buried in snow and ice and is ugly black and beaten down). Your table is simply divine. Hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving!
Thank you for your gracious comments. Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh my, Pam, this table is truly a gift with all the beauty and colors and textures. So simple that I feel anyone can do this at home, yet the most exceptional designer look. Who wouldn’t want to sit at your table and gather there to give thanks for all our blessings? Those colors are perfect. I love that you used the gingko leaves, our large gingko still has green leaves in California, but I love when the yellow ones come raining down in December. My little people call it gingko snow. : ) It is always a blessing to join you on our special Monday Morning Blooms days. xoxo Lidy
Thank you my sweet friend. I like “ginkgo snow!”
Beautiful table and I love that you used the vegatables, fruit, leaves, and antlers too! we have quite a few deer around my neighborhood in Charlotte and I keep my eye out for antlers all the time 🙂
Have a lovely holiday!
Thank you Theresa, I hope you find some antler sheds! Happy Thanksgiving!
Gorgeous, Pam! I’m planning something kind of similar for our fall party, and you’ve just given me tons of inspiration! Thanks so much, and Happy Harvest!
Thank you Barbara. Happy Thanksgiving!
Exquisite !!! The gifts that God’s earth returns to us in time for Thanksgiving observance. Your
beautiful runner is a tribute to what has been sown…Seth has given us a rare glimpse of the privilege it is to view harvesting from the heavens. Thank you for the component list comprising
the runner…the produce departments and fading gardens will be “sold out” while we busily recreate this tour de force by Pam. Perfect! Your giftedness is such a blessing to us, dear one.
Thank you so much Mary. You are a sweet blessing❤️
Stunning centerpiece!!!Gorgeous table,also gorgeous dishes!Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you dear Maristella!
Oh, so pretty! I LOVE how you made the centerpiece go the full length of your beautiful table! May the Lord bless you, sweet friend. 🙂
Thanks so much Cheryl! Happy Thanksgiving my friend!
Pam, I don’t know how anything could be any prettier for Thanksgiving than the table you have created. The centerpiece is absolutely stunning, and I adore that china pattern. Everything looks just beautiful! Well done, my sweet friend!!!
Thank you Shannon, you are a sweetheart!
Every time I am invited into your home or garden I am amazed by the beauty you bestow upon us! That centerpiece is extraordinary! And to think you could also use flowers and branches from you area at this time of year! The china is exquisite!
Happy Week to you my friend!
Thank you dear Nancy, Happy Tuesday!
The scripture you chose for this post is perfect for what has been harvested for your table.
Thank you for visiting Linda! Happy Thanksgiving
