Several years ago I got a really cute thrift store snowman in blue, white, and silver. Last year I never got to use him as I used the blue, white, and silver Santa for my table. I was determined to make a table with him this year.

Several months ago I visited a new thrift store. They have lots of household goods. I wandered around looking and found a set of 4 cute snowman salad or dessert plates for a couple of dollars. I just love snowmen. This is my fourth snowman table.
A November Brunch with a dear friend means an autumn table and thankfulness.
For the last several years I’ve made a yellow table for May, but I wasn’t planning to make one this year. Then I find sunny yellow placemats in the store and knew it was again time for a May yellow table. I enjoy collecting vintage dinnerware at thrift stores. I have 3 salad plates in the Corelle pattern Spring Meadow which was made in 1977. There is something about the little pastel flowers which I find cheerful.
Yesterday I shared my winter Santa in blue and silver on my dining table with a winter scarf in off-white and blue.
I wanted a different look on the dining table. Last year I bought a thrift store scarf that is filled with winter images of snow in winter white and blues. I put it on my table on a white tablecloth and added my blue Santa with several small snowman. pine trees, and silver ribbon. Small silver glass ornaments are nestled around them.
Last week I shared my mixed poinsettia planter. This week I made a Christmas tablescape using a Christmas buffalo plaid tablecloth I got last year at after Christmas sales. I placed the mixed poinsettias on a sliced log with a few pine cones and white bird salt and pepper shakers.
This year I will not gather with a large group for my Thanksgiving celebration. Instead a simple meal for two will be shared at my table. My inspiration for my small Thanksgiving table is the thrift store angel I got last year. The ceramic angel holds a pumpkin and the words “Give Thanks” adorn her skirt. Perfect for my Thanksgiving lunch.
