Spring Tablescape Ideas

04/16/2021 By Bre

Hello Friends!! It’s Spring, it’s Spring!! Or so I’m telling myself that, because as I type this there it is snowing here in NH. Yes friends – SNOW, in April. Which for a New Englander is nothing new. Just as we are beginning to see buds on the trees and new life emerge from the ground, the threat of a spring snow is always a possibility. A common factor of spring in New England that I keep trying to teach my kids about. Thankfully it usually disappears as quickly as it shows up, but nonetheless just when you think winter is officially over, it comes back around for one more visit. So today, on this blustery Friday in New Hampshire, I’m sharing my favorite glimpses from Spring Tablescapes I’ve created for a little inspiration, and to help remind myself that Spring is officially here.

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.

How to Create a Backyard Gathering

09/17/2020 By Bre

Hello Friends! If you are a familiar face around here, then you know it’s no secret that I love gatherings! I love creating tablescapes to celebrate life’s many special moments. I even wrote a book about HERE. I’m so excited because today I get to share another beautiful book my friend Courtney, from French Country Cottage, wrote called Inspired Gatherings. Courtney has definitely inspired me from the early days of blogging, by encouraging me to pursue my photography and my creative gifts, and I love that we share this common thread of a love for gatherings. I’m thrilled to share her new book with you, and as a way to celebrate I put together a backyard gathering, because right now it’s all about gathering at home.

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!
