TGIF!!!!

 

As a child my favorite Thanksgiving was when my parents hosted Thanksgiving dinner and everyone sat at a long table in the basement for dinner. My mom had my brother and I make name tags for all the guests out of construction paper. We had the best time ever and I’m sure it kept us out of my mom’s hair for hours!!!!! My mom kept those little name tags….… They are tucked away with the paper turkey somewhere probably never to be seen again since she is now gone.

Okay, enough of being sentimental….on to the eye candy!

    that's a sweet memory of your mom. I'm sure the holidays are a time when you miss her the most. I love all of the pretty tablescapes you shared. I love white pumpkins!

    Love all of these Des, especially that first one where they used the old wooden box. Just starting to get ideas for my Thanksgiving tablescape now - need to decide soon as I am hosting this year! Then hopefully I can post it next week!

    have a nice weekend!

    I love the white pumpkins and the orange table cloth. Orange really makes a centerpiece happy and it says "Thanksgiving" also.

    love, ~Sheri
