Hello sweet friends and Happy Thursday! Thanksgiving (one of my favorite holidays) is four weeks from today. I have rounded up Thanksgiving tablesettings to hopefully inspire and give you ideas for your Thanksgiving tables!
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!”

We have never celebrated Thanksgiving anywhere but home. As long as my beloved Mother was living, she hosted Thanksgiving in my childhood home. I have hosted Thanksgiving for the past seventeen years and consider it a blessing to be able to do so.

There are many years that it is warm enough to dine outside, but I always plan for indoors, because you can never know for sure if the weather will cooperate!

As we gather together in our dining room each Thanksgiving, my heart is full as I look around the table at the people I love the most…my family!
The centerpiece was kept simple and easy!
A Harvest table was fun to create with…
…grocery store flowers and fresh fruit for a natural table runner!
Our Thanksgiving table might change a little from year to year. But always present is lively conversation, heart-warming stories, and food that has been lovingly prepared!
Lingering around the table is always welcomed!
Individual flower arrangements are a lovely take-away gift for guests. I think this is a great idea for a small gathering of maybe three couples. It can be a small jar of three blooms, not elaborate or expensive. It will make your guests feel special!
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”
James 1:17 (ESV)
A “thankful” Thanksgiving should be at the very center of this day that we celebrate! God is the giver of all good gifts!
“We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.”
~H.A. Ironside
Last year, I decided to set a Thanksgiving Eve table for RM and me in the Sunshine Cottage. That might become a tradition!
Plaid, burlap, faux leather, and pheasant feathers give the table for two a masculine vibe!
Gathering with grateful hearts is the essence of our family’s Thanksgiving! I sent RM on a mission to gather all natural materials for a centerpiece…
…as you can see he was quite successful foraging our garden, pasture, and woodlands and returning with an unbelievable amount of nature’s bounty!
I will be joining 17 table stylists on Tuesday, November 5th for a Thanksgiving Tablescape blog hop. I hope you will join me.
A special thank you to all who wished me a happy birthday. Dear friends had us for dinner on Tuesday night. She made my favorite cake, Hummingbird. Last evening we had dinner in Birmingham at our favorite restaurant, Bottega. Tonight my sweet daughter-in love, son, and grands are having us for dinner. It has been a wonderful birthday!
Thank you for your visit and gracious comments. I am reminded daily to pray for all those who have lost loved ones, homes, and their livelihoods. Thanksgiving will be drastically different for them. I wish for you a joy-filled November!

Such a lovely round up of Thanksgiving tables and inspiration Pam! Looking forward to hopping with you next Tuesday. I haven’t had Hummingbird cake in years, my sister-in-law makes a delicious one. Let the birthday celebrations continue. 🥳 Happy Thursday ❤️
Thank you, Mary. Butch teased me and said I would need to cook tonight since the celebrations were over❤️
Lovely table. A belated happy birthday. This year we have much to be thankful for if we escaped the hurricanes without damages. So many are still hurting. Praying for a peaceful election.
You are so sweet, Myrna. Yes, we have so many blessings to be thankful for. Praying for peace.
Happy Birthday, dear Pam! It is always so much fun when friends and family turn your celebration into a week long event. You have so many special tablescapes for us to draw inspiration. And I love the H. A. Ironside quotation. I am funny about Thanksgiving…I want it in my own home, and I want the exact foods my mama cooked for every Thanksgiving. Guest are welcome, but they need not bring food!
I totally agree about Thanksgiving, Roxanne! Take care of yourself, my friend!
Pam, So glad to hear that the birthday celebrations are continuing. We’re in the Smoky mountains celebrating with friends. It’s been wonderful. It hurts to think that only a few miles away people are suffering. We’re praying for them. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is so close. Take care and have fun! Happy Halloween! Hope the children have fun tonight. Clara❤️
Enjoy your get away, Clara! Thank you for the birthday wishes ❤️
Your tables are always inspiring! By November I should be able to do a little fall decor — hopefully we’ll be having TG here and I can “borrow” an idea or two!
I’m so glad you were well feted on your birthday and beyond! That hummingbird cake sounds wonderful, as do all your celebratory events! I say let the celebration continue as long as possible!
You have had a full schedule, Jeanie. I agree, celebrate as long as you can!
Giving thanks for your beautiful post this morning Pam. I’ve decided to celebrate the entire month of my birthday,November. It will be quite different this year and who knows where I’ll be for Thanksgiving, it will be the first year in many years that I won’t be cooking a turkey. God has a plan for me and I’m excited to find out what it is.
Happy birthday month, Alice! God does have a plan for you dear friend. He is with you!
A beautiful round up Birthday Girl! How sweet of your friend to make your favorite Hummingbird cake. I’ve got to get busy, I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet for the hop so thank you for all the inspiration!
Thank you, Jenna! I have my table set, but it was too dreary to take photos today!
So beautiful, Pam. I hope you enjoyed your birthday blessings immensely. Happy belated birthday. I’m sorry I was late in wishing you a happy birthday, but my daughter is in the hospital with pneumonia and it’s been a very busy week.
Thank you, Rita! Praying for your daughter.
Happy birthday Pam and it sounds like all the celebrations have been wonderful! Your tables and all beautiful and it’s so special that family and friends are there to enjoy your Thanksgiving offerings. I had never heard of hummingbird cake and had to google. I didn’t need to go any further than the cream cheese ingredient – I love anything with cream cheese lol. Have a wonderful evening with your family!
Thanks so much, Kim. Hummingbird cake is fabulous. It is the most popular Southern Living magazine of all time. We love cream cheese icing! Happy November, my friend!
Pam, happy belated birthday. Keep celebrating!
Thanks for the look back. I’m still deciding on my table for Tuesday’s hop. Life has interrupted a few plans, but tomorrow is the day. I appreciate your look back. You always inspire. Thanksgiving was always a special celebration here. Monnie and I had a tradition of hosting for friends who didn’t have family near by. Our table was always filled with great conversation and delicious food prepared mostly by Monnie. He always pardoned the turkey though, and cooked game hens, rack of lamb, or another meat. I was in charge of the desserts – pumpkin pie and pecan pie. I know your Thanksgiving will be lovely and I’m eager to see what you plan for this year.
Thank you, Sarah. I have my table ready but it is raining (which we desperately need) and the lighting is poor. How very special are your memories of you and Monnie hosting Thanksgiving for friends who didn’t have family near by. I know Monnie was an outstanding chef in the kitchen. I can do without the turkey and feast on the side dishes. I always love your tables and vignettes!
What blessed memories your Proverbs 31 beloved Mother provided for us all through your recollections…To have dined at her table in your childhood home
and then so many years doing the same in her stead at your own table evokes a nostalgia for true family unity and sharing that Thanksgiving represents. Looking forward to Tuesday’s group’s shining talents. Thank you for the insight that in addition to loved ones and property, livelihoods were also lost in the storms. Continued prayers. A blessed Birthday, Alice.
Thank you, Mary! My beloved Mother was a Proverbs 31 woman. Thanksgiving is special in our home. So sweet for you to send birthday blessings to Alice!0
oh my goodness, I can not believe that Thanksgiving is less than 4 weeks away. flipping the calendar yesterday morning was a bit of a wake up call as we’ve been traveling so much recently. being home is such a joy these days. but I am glad that my girls now man the helm for the major holiday meals. your pictures bring back lovely memories of past holiday meals, friend. bless you.
Linda, your sweet comments are heartwarming. I know after your travels, it is a joy to be back home!
Happy Belated Birthday! What beautiful and inspiring post… We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving at my country so I forgot the date. I must learn with you… Grateful for your friendship. Blessings.
Thank you, my friend!
Pam, I am so sorry to be commenting late. I somehow missed this post. You have gathered such a gorgeous collection of Thanksgiving tables for us to enjoy. You have such a gift of setting such breathtaking tables. As I have said before, your fall tables are my favorite. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is less than 4 weeks away. Like you, I continue to pray for those impacted by the hurricanes. It is so heartbreaking. I wish you a most blessed day and week ahead my sweet friend!
Shannon, you are never late. Your comments and visits are greatly appreciated, my friend. I am looking forward to hopping with you!
Happy belated Birthday Pam. Your tables are so pretty, really magazine worthy. I love this time of year when the weather cools and we get to see beautiful autumn colors. I am happy to feature your Thanksgiving tables at Love Your Creativity,
Happy Belated Birthday dear Pam! May God bless you with many more!
Thank you, my friend!
