Well, I am signing off for a few days to enjoy the long holiday weekend with my family. I thought I'd leave you with some pictures of my Thanksgiving table...
This year, I decided on a pink and brown color scheme. I always try to mix some traditionally-hued elements (the brown and cream toile tablecloth from Anthropologie) and some non-traditional ones (the vintage pink floral plates).
I always have lots of flowers around (these are in my Target votive holder vases from yesterday). Roses are so pretty...and reasonably priced at most local supermarkets.
And I also like to leave each guest a little favor at their place-setting...
What's in the box? Well, a turkey, of course! :-) It's a family tradition (of sorts) to give the girls chocolate turkeys each year. If you can only find the foil-wrapped ones, you can carefully unwrap them and place them in clear cello bags. To dress them up a bit, I just added some pink ribbon and a velvet millinery flower to mine. The cute gold boxes are from Michael's (only $1.00 each!).
I want to wish you (and all your families) a very Happy Thanksgiving!
XOXO
Jessica
Your table is gorgeous with all it's pinks, browns and flowers, Jessica. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
