I don’t host Thanksgiving at my house these days. I’ve passed the torch to the kids, they have big houses and families and it just makes more sense to visit them for the holidays.
But in my dreams, I would so duplicate this idea for Thanksgiving. I found it in Country Living this morning, it’s everything I love. A piece of barn board, hoisted up a bit to give it depth, candles, gourds, grapes, maybe add a pear or two and scatter some nuts in their shells, and some grasses picked in a field instead of the green wheat, oh wouldn’t it be de-lovely...
And speaking of tables, here’s a snapshot of mine right now. And yes, of course it’s overdone, I always overdo it, and no, you can’t sit here and eat, we eat at the bar. It’s overdone, too, it’s just the way I roll...
Sunflower dishes, gourds, candles, roosters and my fat market pig on a lazy suzan so loaded down it won’t turn.
And on my bar, vintage Dept. 56 egg plates, smiley face mugs, a Scentsy jack-o-lantern pot and more roosters and a turkey. Makes me happy just looking at it….
