I hope your week is off to a great start, sweet friends!

“I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving.”

I am excited to join 16 table stylists for a Thanksgiving Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by my lovely friend, Rita from Panoply! Grab a cup of coffee and settle in a comfy chair for tabletop ideas and inspiration!

Since the passing of my beloved Mother, My Renaissance Man and I have been hosting Thanksgiving for the past sixteen years.
