Thanksgiving Tablescape Tutorial + Sources

10/17/2020 By Bre

Hello friends!! This week sure was fun sharing on the blog. Mostly because it involved one of my favorite topics – tablescapes. I was chatting with a friend this week about this years Thanksgiving Tablescape, and told her I don’t know which holiday I like creating tablescapes for more – Thanksgiving or Christmas? Or if it’s more of just me loving what those holiday tablescapes represent. Gathering around the table with friends and family. Today I’m sharing all the sources for my tablescape, and also a step by step guide for how I put it together. I hope it inspires you as you start thinking about special details you could add to your thanksgiving tablescape this year as well.

Easy Thanksgiving Place Card

10/15/2020 By Bre

Hello friends!! Thank you so much for all of your kind words regarding this years Thanksgiving table. I was chatting with a friend the other day, and I told her it’s a hard toss up to decide which holiday I like creating tablescapes for more, Thanksgiving or Christmas! I love the seasonal elements that both holidays bring forth, but what I love even more is the excuse the holiday gives me to create a fancy table for my family. Today I’m sharing how I made the place cards I used on this years Thanksgiving table. It was quite simple, but there’s nothing quite like adding the personal touch of a place card to make others feel welcome.

Thanksgiving Tablescape | 2020

10/13/2020 By Bre

As I was preparing for this years Thanksgiving Tablescape, I had an image pop up in my memories of the very first thanksgiving tablescape I created over 7 years ago! It was crazy to look back and see how this love of creating a warm gathering place has always been apart of me. The desire to see family and close friends gathered around the table sharing a meal and building memories. I know that this year Thanksgiving might look a little different than it has in years past, but I hope that at the heart of your table this year you are able to soak in the moments with those gathered around it. Today I have some special friends joining me, as we share our Thanksgiving tables for 2020.

Planting Seeds of Hope

10/10/2020 By Bre

I did something this week, that I’ve never done before. Now I realize to my young 36 year old self that isn’t highly unlikely, but you see I’m a creature of habit. A risk taker I am not. I like to stay inside my perfectly drawn lines I’ve made for my life, and I stick to them. My days are routine, for the most part. I know what I expect. Sure I may get adventurous every now and then, but if I’m really being honest with myself, I can’t remember the last time I did something last minute or spontaneous. No I like consistency. I like to know what to expect and plan for what’s coming. All good qualities I assure you, but my friends quickly find out, I’m not the person to call for a last minute invite.

Trader Joe’s Fall Floral Arrangement

Hello Friends!! Today’s post was just the kind of DIY I needed to get into the fall spirit! Creating this fall flower arrangement reminded me of just how much I love to play with flowers. Like a painter with a paint brush, creating flower arrangements feeds my creative soul, and this time it’s all about fall. I team up with 20 other bloggers, who are also all sharing their fall floral arrangements, and I’m extra excited, because I got all of my flowers from Trader Joe’s! That’s right, you read that correctly – Trader Joe’s.

Blue + Red Fall Soiree Tablescape | 2020

09/08/2020 By Bre

Hello Friends! It feels so good to be sharing a post about fall! I have to admit, it feels like fall sort of snuck up on us this year, and I find myself reminded of the quote by Oscar Wilde “And all at once summer collapsed into fall”. I find myself ready, and longing for not only the structure that fall tends to bring with it, but all the warm nostalgias that make fall great. Apple picking, pumpkin spice lattes, leaves changing colors, and that crisp fall air that has us grabbing for cozy blankets and warmer sweaters. The pumpkins are on the farm stands here in New England, and if you look close enough you can even see the leaves are already beginning to turn. I find the familiarities to be comforting and hopeful that not all is lost or forgotten, and my love for gathering in the fall seems greater this year too!
