I love designing tablescapes. I started back in September 2010 and I now design tablescapes to share on my blog as well as on "Between Naps on the Porch" for Tablescape Thursdays.

My passion for designing tablescapes has sent me out on a search to buy more dishes that I can share every week.

I also enjoy making my own napkins to go with my different dishes and I love to mix and match some of my beautiful dishes.

Two Tablescapes For Thanksgiving.

My inspiration for my two Tablescapes was having family and friends
over for Thanksgiving Day, so I did need more room to sit down to eat.

I did this centerpiece just for this Thanksgiving dinner.

I have five layers of china on the gold charger.
The pattern is called Miami by Theodore Haviland. This was my 
Mother-in-law's china, she had great taste.

Dessert plate.

Salad plate.

Dinner plate.

I made my napkins for Thanksgiving three year ago.

I did add some wild turkey feathers to my centerpiece.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving day.
Coming up in 17 more day's.
This is my other Tablescape for Thanksgiving Day.
Just 17 more days before the Turkey goes in the oven.

I would like to thank you all so much for all your
sweet comments this past year's! I see you all as part of my family.
This is the coffee and wine Buffet..

Since my family is coming over to join me on Thanksgiving Day, I'm not doing to much cooking. 
I am covering the basics such as the turkey, dressing, and gravy, My guests are bringing the 
open dishes of assorted foods to complete our meal.

From my family to your family, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!


I hope you all come Back!!

~~ I Believe It's Autumn.

My Inspiration for this Tablescape was. The Joys
of being with Family around my fall table, and allow the
moments and memories of past fall tablecapes with them..
This is the only Vintage plate addict to this setting.
The pattern is called Widgeon John 1804-1881~
I have eight all are different patterns of duck's.
I have lots of warm colors and texture on this
five layers setting. I purchased the soup bowls from
Kohl's a year ago.
My tablecloth color is a Harvest Orange, like my 
placemats from Wal-Mart. With my crocheted one on top.
I wanted my Tablecape to be Rustie woodsy.
for Fall. I purchased the black crows from the
Dollar Tree store just for some fun on my table.
The centerpiece was put together with
a grapevine wreath from Michaels. I purchased the
Mums from Home Depot.
The table is set and ready for you!!
Lets light the candles and have some Apple Cider
with a stict of cinnamon if you like.
I purchased the candle holders from CVS.
I used a dark orange and yellow napkins
becouse of the colors in the Grapevine, all the colors
of fall~ I hope you are having a good time!!
Will its time to eat Right. I hope you like
a Pork Roasts and Sweet potato souffle, and
Green beans with fry bacon bits. Big green salad!
And for Dessert Bread pudding with Rum sauce.

I hope you all come Back!!
