Thanksgiving is just days away and I am eagerly awaiting family dinner. While I am not a fan of turkey, stuffing, or cranberry sauce, I am a fan of potatoes, family, and holiday decorating. As you saw in October, I quite enjoy the details when it comes to holiday snacks and decor. Here are some of my favorite Thanksgiving additions:
/Setting a beautiful table is a great part of the holidays. This picture is stunning with gold utensils, white-on-white place settings and matching serving pieces. Not to mention the perfect spacing -- I live for details!
/This table setting is just as special but with a much more 'down home' or 'ranch' feel. I like the pattern on the table cloth and also on the plate -- the two florals work together to make the table whimsical, warm, and inviting.
/The detail of the plant and note with this place setting is simple but elegant and I like the idea of incorporating plants into the table setting.
/The large centerpiece in this table makes a beautiful statement and is simple enough as not to take away from the turkey-patterned plates. I like the rich color of the runner and the texture that it brings to the table as well.
/For a snack before the meal, I like the idea of mini cornucopias filled with a nut mix. This takes an earthy, tasty, twist on a classic Thanksgiving piece.
/When its time to serve veggies, what better way is there than by making a dramatic statement with a turkey design. So clever, cute, and delicious!
/When it's time to serve all of the dishes it's nice to see everything at once and appreciate the presentation and sheer magnitude of food at the meal. The addition of gourds, candles and greenery really warm up this table and make it seem even more plentiful.
/Thansgiving desserts are always fun because there are lots of clever way of incorporating pilgrims, turkeys and the fall/winter season. Here are some of my favorite ones:
/These acorn look a-likes are a cute single-bite snack that are sure to impress!
/I saved my favorite decoration for last -- pie crusts! This leaf-inspired pie crust looks almost too good to eat. I love adding a little bit of flair to the top of a pie just to make it extra special.
I hope you all enjoy your own Thanksgiving! Have fun decorating and table-setting down to the details -- but don't forget to enjoy the people who are sharing the holiday with you. That's the most important part!
I hope to hear your favorite holiday moments in the comments or learn more fun Thanksgiving food/decor ideas.
