Simple Settings . . . .

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time of the year!  We get to be around a table full of fabulous food, around people we admire and love, and it is a perfect time to reflect on the bounty that we have been blessed with.  I also love Thanksgiving because it is a time to make our surroundings extra special.  Whether it be the special dinnerware we use for the occasion, special linens or extra traditional accents that trigger wonderful memories of Thanksgivings past. 

I thought a fun "Feature Friday" post would be highlighting some simple place settings.  So many times we think we have to have extravagant place settings. We feel that more is better.  I think that simplicity is the key to not only avoiding holiday stress, but I think it actually creates more of a calm feeling when the centerpieces don't overtake the table. 

Here are some great examples of some simple decorations that could easily be pulled together and adorn any size table.  It is perfect because it adds that subtle hint of fall, yet also welcomes and entices one to the comfort of the table.

I hope that these will help generate some fun centerpiece ideas.  The sky is the limit.  No matter our taste and no matter our budget we can create a centerpiece that reflects the ambiance we aspire to have.  If there isn't any room in the budget,  this is a great time to look around our home and pull together unexpected things to make a beautiful centerpiece that we envision.  We can also look outdoors and utilize nature's beauty.  You are more than welcome to come to the store and we can help you pull something together, if you are still needing some sort of arrangement to make dinner extra special.  We hope this was helpful!  It is so fun to fancy our tables up a little, don't ya think? 

Because of the holiday we won't see you next week in blog land, but don't worry dear bloggie friends, we will be back the following week.  We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  See you soon!
