A Bundle of Thanksgiving Tablescape

 Warm autumn greetings, and welcome to Corner of Plaid and Paisley! 

 Fall here in Ohio has been gorgeous, with warm weather and more sunny days than I can remember for the month of September.  I will savor that weather because we are headed into a rainy week. It is hard to believe it is the beginning of November when it has been so warm here.  Usually, by this time it has snowed already, but we are moving ahead to Thanksgiving despite the mild fall.  

Our tablescaping group is celebrating Thanksgiving today with our Tablescape Blog Hop.

 I appreciate Rita of Panoply for pulling our group together and organizing this hop!

We have 14 creative tables for you to gain some Thanksgiving inspiration from.  Links to the participating hop members are below.

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others." — Cicero

I am so very grateful for my family and friends but also for the small things in life!  I get excited over a good sunrise, a butterfly, seeing deer on a walk, a good laugh, and some pretty dishes!!  I have learned to savor and appreciate all these little moments in life.  While Thanksgiving doesn't get big billing anymore, I do like to take time to express my thanks to everyone around me.

My Thanksgiving table is an informal setting for leftover turkey sandwiches sometime over the weekend!

My son and daughter-in-law are graciously hosting our big family celebration.

Have a seat at my table!  I don't usually show this much of the room; however, if I didn't show this table from further back, you wouldn't see this beautiful Robert Morris tablecloth.  I bought this from HomeGoods earlier in the year and have been waiting for Thanksgiving to use it!

The square fringed topper was a deal from Target years ago; they were closing out their current line and getting ready for a reset. Somehow I managed to hit Target again this fall at the same time because I was able to pick up these placemats the same way; they were resetting the home linens section, and they were marked on clearance 

I wanted an organic feel to the table, so I used lots of neutrals and textured items. 

These dishes were used on my spring table. I like their simplicity, yet they still have some texture to the sides. 

 Tiny pinecones fill the bottom of the bowls and are topped with cute little knit pumpkins.

I stamped out a thankful banner and tied it onto the pumpkin with a little brown metallic ribbon.

Next, I made place cards using a set from Honey Bee Stamps - the Lovely Layers Turkey Die.

It seemed appropriate for the occasion!

To stay with the simplicity and earthy feel, I used a bundle of wheat for my centerpiece.

I surrounded the wheat with a few resin gourds and a bag of mixed nuts.

My hutch got a refresh with mostly neutral dishes and lots of textured items.  I decided to string these little baskets and grapevine pumpkins down the side for fun!

I have so much to be thankful for, including all of you who read my blog!!

I hope that you enjoyed my table and maybe got an idea or two to take to your Thanksgiving celebration.  Now it is time to see what the other talented bloggers have come up with for their tables.  Please show some love to my fellow dish enthusiasts!!

A Bit of Scare in that Scarecrow - Halloween Table

 Welcome to my Halloween Tablescape; be warned, I am not sure my scarecrows are scary enough to keep the crows from bothering us.

This is my contribution to our wonderful group of tablesylists' Halloween Tablescape Hop.

I would like to thank Rita from Panoply for doing such a wonderful job leading this group.  Her incredible organizational skills keep us in line and make this hop possible.  All of the links to the 12 bloggers participating will be at the end of my post!  So light your pumpkin spice candle, grab your favorite beverage, and indulge yourself in some Halloween fun.

Ohio is corn country!  And besides lots of fresh corn on the cob, the best thing about living in corn country are all of the corn mazes in the fall.  

Pumpkin patches, farm markets, corn stalks, and hay bales are fall staples around here.

My table reflects what you might see in the fields.

Now this scarecrow might be a little too cute to scare away the pesky birds.

I thought this scarecrow is a little scarier-looking!  But he doesn't seem to be doing the job either!

As a kid, we grew corn in our small garden, and we made scarecrows to keep the birds from bothering our crops.  I was never too sure how effective they were back then either!

 These three pieces were purchased on separate trips to different HomeGoods or TJ Maxx stores.

I placed them on a black footed charcuterie board I already had and added some mini hay bales, corn stalks, and mini pumpkins to make them feel at home.

These wood beaded napkin rings look like dried-out corn cobs to me.

I chose a simple black smoky wine glass to finish out the place setting.

I have used these pumpkin plates several times, and this time of year, if they are not on the table, they are on my hutch.

Just about everything is from my stash except for the colorful tablecloth by Cupcakes and Cashmere, another HomeGoods purchase. 

Now that we have gone on a little field trip to the local farm, it is time to move on to see what the other creative tablescapers have in store for you! Here are the links to all of the other participants' posts:

I wanted to point out the three square plates on my hutch because they were gifted to me by a dear friend whom we lost this past week, Mary from Home Is Where the Boat Is.   We are feeling her loss greatly in our little hop family.  Mary was such a wonderful, creative, encouraging, and caring person.  She touched so many people's lives with her blogging talents.   My prayers go out to her family and friends. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and were able to visit the other tables as well.

Have a fun Halloween and enjoy some of the fall favorites that go along with this season!

Autumn Table in Hues of Brown

 Welcome to our Fall Tablescape Hop.

Even though we are just getting into the fall season, my fall table has a late-fall feel, with leaves falling and the crunch of leaves beneath your feet.  

Toadstool Note Cards

 Hi all!  We are having such a gloomy day here today, so I thought I would brighten it up by doing a quick post of some Toadstool note cards!!  Because nothing brightens a day better than toadstools!! 😂😅😂

These cards are made with The Greetery's Botanicuts Toadstool Die for the cute mushrooms or toadstools.

Tomato Tomahto- Let's make a table!

 Welcome to my Tomato Tablescape!  

If you missed my post yesterday with the tomato cards, you should know that this has been an all-tomato weekend for me. Not only did I do the cards and the table, but I spent some time in the kitchen making bruschetta and caprese salad with all the tomatoes I had!

Tomato Tomahto Cards! The Greetery Botanicuts set

 Welcome to Tomato Weekend!!  

I am sharing some tomato cards today, and tomorrow I will be sharing a tomato tablescape.

These fun cards are made with The Greetery's Botanicuts Tomatoes die set. This was part of their new release in the La Dolce Vita Collection. 

Daisy Fun! Sending Sunshine

 I have been on a daisy kick lately!  I think it started when I was working on the Kingwood Wine Walk centerpieces.  I just kept making daisies because they make me happy! 

Hard to believe that all of these white scraps can turn into something so fun!

The flowers were cut with Papertrey Ink, Into The Blooms: Daisies die set.  I picked this up at the Simon Says Stamp Event in Columbus, Ohio, a couple of months ago.

I thought I would share a couple of the cards I created with them.
