Now that November is upon us I thought I would share with you a very simple Thanksgiving table setting. I used items we already had around the house and didn’t have to purchase anything which was nice. I stole some of the mini white pumpkins from our kitchen for each place setting and added little name tags using these little circular ones I had (pretty sure they were originally from Michael’s), and then used our silver chargers, white Emma dishes and toile napkins (all from Pottery Barn which we received as wedding gifts eight years ago).
I don’t know
about you, one of my favorite parts about the weather turning cooler is
getting to drink hot cocoa! After two years of enjoying a little hot
cocoa station in our last house, we took a year off from doing one last
year because we didn’t have a good spot for one here in our new house.
When we painted the kitchen and family room a few weeks ago I took the slipcovered wingback chairs that were in this room (you can see photos of this room with those chairs here) I decided to try switching the sets of chairs because I really liked how the slipcovered ones looked against the new darker gray mantel in the family room.
We are excited to be introducing our new “In everything give thanks” sign! It’s in stock now. Here it is in our dining room. I started setting things up in here a little bit for Thanksgiving but I haven’t finished with the tabletop yet.
We have done a “thankful tree” in years past but this year switched out the leaf cutouts for these little tags we found at Michael’s.
Well, it’s finally starting to feel like fall around here! YAY! With the cool, crisp weather arriving we had a little bit of fun finishing up some fall touches out on our porch. Although I have to admit all four of us are pretty picky eaters, we surprisingly all LOVE pretty much anything pumpkin flavored and devoured these pumpkin donuts we got at the grocery store.
Well, I was planning on posting about our autumn back porch today but I haven’t finished going through all the photos yet so instead here are just a few of the images and tomorrow I will be back with the full post (including lots more photos and all of the info).
