Dishing it up/ with Sharon Insul

Come sit with me for awhile . . .
and see what I’m bringing to the table ©

Yes, yes I know Halloween is barely over, and here I come with thoughts of Thanksgiving tabelscapes .   .   . Sheesh!!! Well someone has to do it .   .   . right?

Easy people, calm yourselves, I come in peace. Pictures above and below are perfect examples typifying a simple, yet elegant and attention grabbing Thanksgiving spread potential. There is no need to squint. It is the old easy double click trick, to get the treat. Oh please .   .   .  don’t be shy, just click twice on the photo. I have some winners. Excellent, well done! I couldn’t be any prouder than if I was your mother!!!

Center pieces (which I have used before) are none other than lamp shades, decorated with vividly painted fowl .   .   . Yup!!! I know, I know .   .   . Prrrrettty smart .   .   . ha? Don’t have a pair of these beauties laying around? No worries, give a run to the discount stores, or borrow from unused lamp(s) in your very own treasure trove warehouse .   .   . aka home! O k, I think you all have the idea, so let’s move on.

Assuming you have perused the photo below as well .   .   . Mm hmmm? I am moving on in good faith. I filled the shade with dried, silk flowers, wheat, and faux, or live leaves. Added a natural toned table cloth, and pale green napkins, both embroidered with cream colored scattered leaves. I set out a mixture of three different dishes per place setting, leaning toward warmer fall tones. I alternated pale green, and rose tone stemware for pops of color. Light tons of candles of mixed heights, add some soothing background music, and bring on the savoires!!!
