THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH .  .  .

This is the time of year when emotions run deep, and excitement builds to an all-time-high. Our calendars becomes peppered with celebrations and gatherings as the appreciation for the bounty of our lives begin to take center stage. What better place to share? Oh that’s easy. Believe me. The ‘best-place-on-earth’       .   .   . will always be across-and-around your table? Dining table, kitchen island, coffee table or card table it really doesn’t matter, as long as you bring them to the table. Pictured above is the perfect example of an Autumn table segueing into a Thanksgiving ‘gathering-table’ chucked full of mixed textures, and rich colors that scream Thanksgiving! Do you hear it? I do. Listen again. Ahh there it is .   .   . Come sit with me for awhile . . . and see what I’m bringing to the table ®

As seen in both photos above, I started with a base rich in earth tones .   .   . but not to worry .   .   . it can be anything from a table linen, sheet, quilt, or even just plain yardage. Now comes the fun part.  This is the part that I call creative building .   .   . aka layering driven by your imagination. People take a breath. I hear someone gasping! Go ahead take one more deep breath. This is the easy-peasy part .   .   . honest. All you need to do is look around you and borrow .   .   . yes borrow! You know what I’m talking about. It’s all about your decorative pieces placed here there and everywhere around the house, or the almost forgotten goodies that you have closeted away. Time to commandeer a few of them to add texture, layers, eye appeal and most importantly .   .   . curiosity and conversation! Remember to place candles about the table for that much sought after flattering light. Your guests will thank you for it!   STAY TUNED FOR MORE HAPPY THANKSGIVING IDEAS!!!
