Today I’m recycling a post from November 2016 with a few new mosaics. I hope you enjoy it!
A November Brunch with a dear friend means an autumn table and thankfulness.

Thanksgiving Table for Two
Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on various dates in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia, and the sub-national entities Leiden, Norfolk Island, and Puerto Rico. It began as a day of giving thanks and sacrifice for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.
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.
Thankful & Grateful Thanksgiving Table
For the next few weeks, I am changing my wall decor behind the dining table. I got this arrangement last year and used it on the dining table. This year I’m hanging it on the wall. Soft colored flowers and pumpkins with berries and leaves make a statement on the dining room wall. Read More
Free Thanksgiving Place Card Printables
Many of us are already thinking ahead to Thanksgiving. I wanted to share a holiday freebie with you. I created a sheet of free Thanksgiving printables – place cards that you can use however you’d like during your Thanksgiving holiday. Whether you have a crowd coming to your house or you’re helping another family member, place cards are a fun addition either to label food on a buffet table or to assign seating at the table. Today’s prints are two designs that are perfect for your Thanksgiving table design. Both designs are sized 8 1/2″ x 11″ and should be printed on card stock.

Gather Together Thanksgiving Country Table
The U.S. Thanksgiving holiday will be here in 2 weeks. This year my table inspiration is a vintage tapestry table scarf with a primitive country print. It reminds me of Grandma Moses a little (American folk artist, 1860 – 1961). It has a very old-time feeling. I found it for little money in May at the thrift store. I knew immediately it would make a great basis for my Thanksgiving table this year.
Rustic Pumpkin Thanksgiving Table
My table for Thanksgiving this year is based on my rustic lighted pumpkin. (source: Aldi last year.) I added lace, flowers, leaves, candles, and more rustic pumpkins for the center of the table.
Burlap, Lace & Birds Holiday Table
Holiday tables can range from your everyday china to pieces decorated with Santas, Snowmen, and Christmas trees. When I was a child, my mother always used a lace tablecloth, her good china, and silverware for holidays and special occasions. I like to vary what I use but honestly, who has room for dozens of china patterns? I certainly don’t. When I downsized for retirement a few years ago, I gave my nephew my mother’s china and her silverware. I have three sets of four for everyday china and a few pieces of other patterns from thrift stores. My tables are simple with a centerpiece or flowers and either a tablecloth, runner, or place mats. Your home can be warm and festive without owning a department store full of china or spending a lot of money. You can’t beat a good set of white china or a burlap runner for any occasion. Read More
