A Thanksgiving Table to Be Thankful For!

As Thanksgiving nears, lots of planning goes into what to cook and eat.  Should we have both apple and pumpkin pies?  (YES!).  But don't forget to give some thought to your Thanksgiving table - where you'll eat those lovely pies.  Make sure you have enough place settings for your crowd (placemats, chargers, plates, napkins, flatware, stemware).  Yes, it's a lot to think through.  And yes, paper plates work to make this easy if need be!.  But how about all of the other pretty things on the table?  The tablecloth or placemats, runner, centerpiece - don't forget these opportunities to create a beautiful table!  And yes, I know you could put FOOD on the table to serve.  And you still can with a some light decorations.  Or, you can utilize a sideboard or folding table nearby and really create a beautiful and memorable table.  Here are some items we've sourced from Amazon to bring it together.

Here's our vision for these items...
Place the runner down the middle of the table.  On top of that, place the greenery runner along the length of the table.  It's okay for it to serpentine a bit.  In the middle, either on top of the greenery or with the greenery alongside it, place the large hurricane glass, and the large battery candle inside it.  Along the runner, sporadically place the glass votive holders.  Place the battery votives in them after placed.  And finally, the pinecones can be placed along the runner for a natural, earthy touch.

At each place setting, set a placemat, with charger on top, and white plate on top of that.  The white pumpkin placeholder can go just above the placemat, facing each seat.  Thread napkins through the napkin holders and place on top of the white plate.  And grab a wine stem for a festive drink!

We hope that these items inspire you to get excited about the holiday, and to spend time with those you love.

​Happy Thanksgiving!
