Set Your Table With Flair--Holiday Harvest

Hello, friends!  If you have visited my blog before, thank you so much!  If you are new here, thank you and welcome!

It's almost that wonderful time of year for family, friends, and being thankful for all the lovely blessings bestowed upon us!  We truly enjoy Thanksgiving in my home, and I hope you enjoy the post.  

I began this tablescape with a table barren of linen. Next, I made my centerpiece.  These two pieces of thin wood, which I placed right in the center of the table, are actually BBQ smoking planks from the 99¢ store.

Next, I placed a large white pumpkin, small gourds, pumpkins, acorns, pinecones, Indian corn, lady apples, and a pomegranate. 

Side view.  

Now, I placed the settings.  I began with a charger, goblet and glass flute.

I placed my plate next. 

Next, I placed a brown saucer.

Next, I placed a napkin and harvest-themed ring, 

And one of my hand-made place settings. To see how to make these, view the tutorial on my other blog by clicking here.

Shown here, is the complete setting. 

I love Spode Woodlands for Thanksgiving, so if you're like me, you may want to showcase the plate by omitting the saucer and placing the napkin directly on the plate

Like so

Or completely off the plate and to the side, shown here.

Finally, I added my chairs with festive swags.  To see how to create these swags on my other blog, click Here.

One of the most wonderful parts about the holiday season is the emotion the senses evoke!  I just love the sights and smells of the season!  For a lovely home fragrance, may I recommend Ralph Lauren Hayride.  This fragrance epitomizes the scent of the season, and is one of my absolute favorites.  The description on the box reads, "A blend of Autumn squash, nutmeg, and vanilla."  It truly is fantastic.

Set Your Table With Flair--A Rustic Thanksgiving Setting

Hello, and thank you for visiting my blog!

I cannot believe another year has practically flown by and it is again time to plan for annual Thanksgiving festivities!  If your family prefers the simplicity of rustic country charm, I hope you enjoy this post. :)

When I began planning this rustic setting, I considered a very specific color scheme.  Earthy tones indicative of wood like beiges, brown, et cetera, are what I chose to utilize in this theme.

First, I decorated the chairs. I created this simple chair swag adorned with a burlap bow and pinecone.  To view the tutorial, click here.

I chose to leave my table barren of linen, again, because I love the earthiness of its color.  I set brown chargers, stemware, candles, and small goblets first.

Next, I placed my plates.

 I set these small brown saucers next.

Next, I set up a centerpiece. A few years back, I bought this plant hanger.  I love its wicker detail.

I thought it fit perfectly with this theme, so I decided to utilize it as a makeshift cornucopia. I placed it first, and added a large white pumpkin, pinecones, rustic acorn tops, and Indian corn.

Here is a closeup

Finally, I placed these acorn-ornamented place settings.

These were quite simple.  I used scrapbook paper,

folded down to 3" X 3" size.

Folded them in half.

 I then labeled each and threaded the hook of the acorn ornament through the fold of the paper.

All set!

Here is a closeup of the setting.
