Obviously there will be more chairs at the table...and more place settings...just remember, this is a preview! ;)
The runner was by far the easiest thing to make. Just take a long length of burlap (mine is about 9 feet long to account for the extra leaf we'll be putting in the table) and cut it the desired width. Then simply pull off about 10 or so threads from each side to create a fringe and you're done!
I mimicked the red berries in the napkins with a few sprigs on the table & in the candle holder.
The three center jars house some cinnamon sticks, some vintage recipe cards passed down to me from my great-grandmother/red berries, and some wine corks. In the tops of the jars are tealight candles nestled in whole coffee beans. The two outside jars are dollar store candles with a bit the print fabric tied around them.
I really like how my placemats turned out! Too bad my sewing machine quit on me!
Aren't my little napkin holders cute?! Hot glue gun, baby!
I think I need more red berries.

Alrighty, y'all. That's it for now! I think I'll go take a break while my little sweetie is napping!

I like the colors you chose for your placemats and runner! Your napkin holders are the leaves in your napkins, nice touch.
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like you are making serious headway into entertaining a large group of folks! I really do like the "berries." They always add a lot to a table. Especially this time of year. They match the napkins which is really cute!

I love the colors in the napkins and how you pulled them all togther. It looks really nice, but not too fussy. I alos like the corks in ther hurricane. Great touch! You're going to have a well dressed table for turkey day.
ReplyDeleteI really admire those of you that sew. I am learning how much can be done with a glue gun and stitch witchery! Love the colors and the burlap!

Delightful post, your earthy tones for autumn are so sweetly combined. Am working on my Thanksgiving post and looking forward to sharing soon.
ReplyDeleteBeing a "non-sewer", I'm impressed with all your projects and how nicely they have come together for your Thanksgiving table. They will be a lovely background for your dishes and food!
ReplyDeleteDD
Very pretty! Hope your sewing machine is an easy fix.
ReplyDeleteI like all your simple and thrifty decorating ideas. It really doesn't take much to make a house a home. I don't sew so am impressed whenever anyone can actually make a button stay on; creating a whole tablescape is another story. Blessings to you, :) Tammy
ReplyDeleteI knew I was a follower as soon as I saw 4 babies in heaven--we have 2 in heaven. I love your blog and look forward to getting to know you better and would love to have you come by for a visit.

Wow, that's just adorable!
ReplyDeleteLookin' good, Grace! I really like the fringing on the burlap runner :)
ReplyDeleteMy machine is staging a protest, too. I finished up a skirt for each of my two oldest girls last weekend, just *barely* getting the thing to cooperate enough to get a straight seam. Grr. Really, though, I know it's long overdue for a service. Think I'd better get on that!
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you have a really wonderful weekend :)

Your Thanksgiving table looks so beautiful. The colors are so inviting.
