Tis The Season To Be Thankful

With my official due date only 10 days before Thanksgiving I think it's safe to say that Brad & I won't be hosting any Turkey day soirees at our place this year. But if we were, I would definitely have to recreate this mod table setting featured on Ohdeedoh. And for the kids table (ok, so all we'd have is a newborn at our kid's table!) this cute & crafty table spread would be a must! Not only is it ahhh worthy, but I think that it would safely provide the young ones with endless entertainment . . . or at least a few minutes worth!

No surprise here, the linens and place cards (aka: puppet) are available through Dwell Studio.



However, the more traditional side of me is highly tempted by these homey touches created by Miss Martha herself.



From top left: Maple leaf place cards (I'm ALWAYS a fan a place cards, whether you're hosting a group of 10 or of 200, it just adds a little something extra to the table scape!), individual pumpkin chiffon pies, flat baked pear & sour cherry pie, and corn husk votives. I crave turkey just looking at these ideas!

Another must-have at my imaginary Thanksgiving feast is this basket full of thanks, also featured on Ohdeedoh, which I thought was just fantastic. Invite your guests to write what they are thankful for on these scrolls before dinner & them share them out loud over dessert. Preferably sitting next to a roaring fire, with a fantastic glass of Prosecco in hand!

And lastly, what's a holiday party without memorable invites? I know that Thanksgiving usually isn't a gathering which requires a formal invite, but if it did, I would definitely be sending these out this year! Designed by Good On Paper.

Happy (early) Thanksgiving everyone! With our entire global family experiencing a time of challenges and trials this year, I feel it is more important than ever to gather with our loved ones this holiday season and celebrate our joys and triumphs, no matter how big or small. So please, let this post inspire you & go start rejoicing! I know we will . . . . well, if this kiddo ever decides to make his grand entrance we will :)! 7 DAYS TO MY OFFICIAL DUE DATE!!
