A Simple Thanks...

Thanksgiving is going to be a quiet affair for two this year. But, that doesn't mean we won't be in the kitchen all day cooking. We will prepare a feast, as always. Mr. Wonderful cooks the turkey, the sweet potatoes, and the green bean casserole. I do the rest.

The inspiration for my table is a throw I purchased (still in the unopened packaging) from Goodwill. I knew it would make a beautiful tablecloth. I've been wanting to do all white dishes, and I thought this was the perfect time.

I wanted to keep the accent colors soft and muted.

I bought these glittery fall picks at Michael's.

All of these dishes came from Goodwill!

My little polka dot pitcher just had to make another appearance. You can also see it here.

This table was made for candlelight.

These mercury glass votives also came from Michael's.

The water glasses are Waterford and the wine glasses are from Ross.

Just a simple centerpiece--a pumpkin on gold and silver garland.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

I will be joining Between Naps On The Porch for Tablescape Thursday!
