Friends, it’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is this month! I know to some it may feel the day we spend hours laboring in the kitchen, but I choose to look at it as a labor of love. Today I’m sharing all of my favorite Thanksgiving Table Essentials, so you can spend less time over worrying where to find just the right napkins to complete your thanksgiving tablescape, and more time anticipating the time we get to spend with family & friends.
Hello Friends!! Today I’m sharing all the sources from the fall chapter in my book The Gift of Gathering. One question (or I should say many questions) I’m getting asked as I share about the book is where certain items are from that I used in the tablescapes in the book. So today I’m sharing all the sources from the fall tablescapes in the book.
Ohh Happy Friday friends, the weekend is here!! I’m not sure what you have planned, but I hope there’s at least one thing you are looking forward to. Today I’m sharing a story I haven’t shared here on the blog before. It’s about the very first dinner party my husband and I had – our first gathering if you will. I’ve shared my heart behind the book, and of course my love for creating tablescapes, but long ago, before blogging or even tablescapes were a thing, I found myself sitting at our hand-me-down dining room table, making handmade invitations inviting our friends to our first ever dinner party!
Hello friends!! I have to be honest, each year I create a holiday tablescape, I think to myself “this is my favorite”. Even though I have no idea what next years tablescape will look like, I love the current one I just created so much that I think how can it possibly get any better. Then, fast forward a year and it’s time to create another one, and now that one is my new favorite. It just goes to show that no two tablescapes will ever be alike, and you have to create whatever you are currently in the mood for.
I will be the first to admit, when I was a kid, setting the table for dinner was not my most favorite thing to do. Even when asked, I would begrudgingly say “yes”, as I walked over to the silverware drawer and began counting out forks. I did not see the point. I couldn’t understand why everyone else couldn’t just get their own silverware? Why did I have to do it? What I didn’t realize then, I’ve come to treasure now ~
Since fall has officially started, and we are now in October, which I like to refer to as “pumpkin month”, I thought I would share a quick, fun & easy DIY with you! If you are like me, perusing through the grocery store and those seasonal pumpkins and gourds keep catching your eye, but you aren’t quite sure what to do with them, than this post is for you! Come check it out ~
Hello friends!! Fall is in the air here in New England! Our mornings have been crisp, and the evenings even cooler. The leaves are beginning to chance, and I love watching as nature slowly ushers us into this beautiful season. One of the things we love watching change color in our yard, is out limelight hydrangeas! I wanted to incorporate some into this fall tablescape. Come take a look ~
