Hello dear friends. Thank you for all the sweet and comforting messages and emails that you sent to us on the passing of our daughter-in-love’s precious Daddy and our granddaughters’ Popsie. Each one meant so much to us.
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”
Psalm 100:4-5
Tomorrow we will celebrate Thanksgiving with fewer around our table than ever before. The cooking has begun with all of our traditional dishes being prepared. My Thanksgiving table is set and ready for the big meal!
Usually Christmas decorating begins the day after Thanksgiving at our house. However, the Sunshine Cottage is almost finished and a tree may appear in the dining room by Thursday. Today you might need a little ten minute break from cooking or decorating. So, I have gone through the archives and chosen six Christmas tablescapes for you to peruse and hopefully get ideas and inspiration. Put your feet up, pour a fresh cup of coffee, and join me for a slice of pumpkin bread as we look back on past Christmas tables!

The golden reindeer were the inspiration for this table setting.
The reindeer are quite old and have found themselves in different places for the Christmas season…
…this was their first time to grace a tablescape!
An all natural Christmas table was filled with a fresh centerpiece…
…and fresh fruit and Leyland cypress!
Christmas lights twinkle on the mantel and the family room tree as they provide a magical background for the table.
Music has always played a big part in our lives and this table was inspired by a favorite Christmas carol, The First Noel!
A mini forest of twinkling lights!
Glittering angels surround the custom made centerpiece of faux frosted fruit and greenery!
A mixture of colors, patterns, and textures for this sweet Christmas table!
One of several Fitz and Floyd Santa pitchers that have been gifted to me.
I love toile and was happy to find this Christmas tablecloth!
This plaid tidings tablescape is my most pinned Christmas table on Pinterest!
Lots of fun details are shown on this table like the Adirondack chair ornaments used as place card holders…
…and the Better Homes and Gardens “woody” salad plates!
Tartan along with blue and white Christmas dinnerware serves up warm Seasons Greetings!
Adding ornaments to hurricane globes is easy and festive!
I so hope you have been inspired to create some memorable Christmas tables for your family!

Thank you Mary. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours dear friend!
Sorry to hear about you loss, may the Lord continue to comfort your family. Thanks for sharing your beautiful Christmas tablescapes. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving! 😉
Thank you so much. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I got in the decorating mood early this year Pam, and have Merry decor underway! However, my dining room table is currently a blank slate, and your tabletop inspirations have my mind working overtime! I think my favorite dining room decor of yours is the grouping of trees in front of your window, I have always loved that twinkling forest! Don’t work too hard in the kitchen today, although I know it is a labor of love! We are off to the coast this morning, to celebrate Thanksgiving in a grateful yet unconventional way! Can’t wait to see the Sunshine Cottage dressed for the holidays!

Thank you Jenna. I am so glad you are celebrating at the coast. Be safe and enjoy!
So many beautiful tables in your beautiful dining room. I love the forest in the window! I have been decorated for a week now, and enjoying every day since. Our dinner will be small, but I am so very thankful. Happy Thanksgiving, Pam.
Thank you Rita. Wishing you a most blessed Thanksgiving dear friend!
Good morning, Pam! Such gorgeous tables to bring us Christmas time cheer! I’m getting ready to start my Thanksgiving cooking this morning. This will be my first year to not be with my parents on Thanksgiving. However, I know I have so much to be thankful for, and this will soon be over and we can celebrate together again! I hope that both you and your sweet family have a most blessed Thanksgiving, my dear friend!
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours dear friend!

My dear friend… how beautiful each and every table is! And the twinkling forest is a stunning backdrop!
I am always astonished with how much inspiration you give us… and now Christmas inspiration! Thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving…to all of you!
Thank you dear friend. Are you having Thanksgiving in Ohio or PA?
Oh I forgot to mention… I can’t wait to see The Sunshine Cottage dressed to the nine in more Christmas Inspiration! 🎄
Aw, thank you🎄♥️🎄
What a fabulous collection of creative table settings, Pam. Love the frosted fruit (who would have guessed they were faux? great color) It is obvious much heart and soul went into it all.
Guess the little ones are busy making decorative bows for the cottage and deciding where to
“hide” surprise gifts…How many children are blessed with such a playhouse? Wishing you and
yours a most blessed Thanksgiving, with a prayer for consolation and healing.
Thanks so much Mary. Your sweet kindness is so appreciated ♥️
Lovely to see these beautiful tablescapes again and fun watching the red walls turn blue! Have a lovely Thanksgiving.
Yes, the dining room did change colors. Thank you Penny!
I enjoyed seeing all of your different table settings for Christmas! So many great features for inspiration.
Thank you Allyson, have a lovely Thanksgiving!
I love every beautiful Christmas table and all your accessories. The car with Xmas tree plates are my fav. Your dining room is also gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing so much Xmas inspiration.
Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings.
Fabby
Pam your tablescape and decorations are stunning! Love the gold reindeer and traditional red, green, and gold! Happy Thanksgiving!
It is so joyful to see all of your beautiful tablescapes and think about the memories made around your table. I know each gathering was filled with so much love. May the Lord bless all of you tomorrow. I am sure it will be a sad time with the grief still so fresh. I feel so sorry for all of you and trust somehow the day will be a comfort to you.
Your sweet words of love are so meaningful!
Dear friend, there is a lot of beauty in the images that you show us for such a beautiful Thanksgiving. My wish is that it be a beautiful reunion with your loved ones and an occasion to remember with all the affection the member of the family who is already with the Lord.
A big hug
Dolores
Dolores, muchas gracias amigo. Espero que te vaya bien con tu hombro. ¡Cuídate!
