HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK

 

in honor of this most wonderful holiday, here's a collection

of gorgeous tables, set and ready for company.

 

if you're entertaining, do you love to set the table?

make it pretty?

i have a friend who knocks table décor out of the park.

girlfriend puts a lot of time and effort into the

table centerpiece when she entertains.

she could have her own blog about it. :  )

 

she inspires everyone lucky enough to be

invited into her home and she's having a

party for our book club again this year.

(can't wait!)

 

 

here we go~

i love these rich jewel tones that represent  fall

this one looks like a lot of work, but wouldn't it be fun?

probably can't live in minnesota and realistically plan
to eat outdoors though~just too darned cold here- (like in the 20's  right now).


i'll leave you with this one.  oh "fur" cute~

 

 

 

one of the nicest things about thanksgiving is the

pure simplicity of it. it's a holiday that

only asks that you look around and

count your blessings.

 

oh yeah and eat.

 

 

*our dessert will be pumpkin pie cheesecake from

Costco.

 we are celebrating our first ever holiday all

together at the lodge and

we're pretty darned excited about it . being 30 minutes

from the closest grocer means we have to haul a lot of

coolers and totes of food when we go-but it's so worth it

to be nestled deep in the woods.

 

we will hopefully trek to the

 woods after dinner to cut our

Christmas tree.

we probably have 40 acres of evergreen trees to choose from

~a blessing for sure~

 

 

*******************

but for now, let's get our sweat pants ready

and start dreaming of the pumpkin pie.

 

 

what a heap of blessings it is to have you in my life,

xox...beth

 

 

oh one more thing...which of the tables was your favorite? which one

would you most like to enjoy a meal at?

mine is the one with the gorgeous horse print behind it.
