“I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭69:30‬ ‭

Hello dear readers and Happy Thanksgiving Week! If you are like me you are in the kitchen preparing for the big feast on Thursday! I do love cooking for my family! We always have a traditional meal of my family’s favorites and I sometimes try something new. But there are certain dishes I know not to change…Mother’s dressing, 4 cheese mac’n cheese, sweet potato casserole, and Butch’s rosemary mashed potatoes. There will be one final Thanksgiving/autumn table on Thursday and then it will be all Christmas.  Since I am in the middle of cooking, cleaning and decorating, it is the perfect week to dip into the archives and share 6 of my favorite Christmas tables. Take five minutes to prop your feet up, have a cuppa, and just rest. Maybe you will get some new ideas or be inspired for your Christmas tables.

I do miss my red dining room especially at Christmas! We are a musical family and The First Noel is one of my favorite tablescapes!READ MORE

Take away flowers are a nice surprise for your guests. Who wouldn’t love to receive a mint julep cup or mason jar filled with a small autumn arrangement?READ MORE

Thanksgiving At Home

~ Autumn, Blog hop, Everyday Living, Faith, Food & Entertaining

“Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭106:1‬ ‭

Hello sweet readers! Can you believe we are already in the month of November? This is the month of one of my favorite holidays…Thanksgiving. It is a day filled with family and food centered around our table. After my beloved mother passed away, I have hosted Thanksgiving each year using her delicious recipes and retaining her menu…her food will always be the best! It is a day overflowing with memories and thankfulness for all of God’s wonderful blessings. And to us, nothing could be better than Thanksgiving at home!

It was a perfect autumn afternoon to set a table on the patio. I realized I had not set a single table on the patio during spring, summer, or autumn. It was time to do so. There have been many Thanksgivings that we could eat outside with comfortable temps and a few that were bitter cold. Weather permitting, there will definitely be outside activity this Thanksgiving!

The garden has taken on its autumn look, and even more so since we’ve had frosts over the past few mornings!

You are in for a treat today! I am joining a group of talented table stylists to bring you a week of Thanksgiving tablescape inspiration hosted by Chloe from Celebrate & Decorate. You can find the links at the bottom of this post.READ MORE
