So here's my table all set and ready for tomorrow...
(Imagine a Martha Stewart Thanksgiving Table.)
What? You don't believe me?! Shoot! Since Martha started labeling all her photos, I just can't get away with these tricks anymore.
Okay, so here's my table with its painter cloths as tablecloths, the gold and silver chargers, the nametags, and the runner created from a four yard length of cheap cloth. Oh, and those are my 67 cent pumpkins.
Did you happen to notice the napkins? I've driven myself crazy looking for napkins and finally settled on these...cheapo!No, we don't have a table that large. John was able to create a surface using quarter inch luan plywood; he even rounded the corners. It's going to be very nice having the family all seated together at one large table.
Wishing you lots of fun as you bake, cook, and clean your way through Thanksgiving Eve!
Sweet Vee...

Vee! I love your table. And how clever of you to make it larger. I've always thought about making a bigger table, but I don't have a real handy woodworker around like you do!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holiday around that table, Vee!
Thanksgiving blessings,
Melissa
Your table looks great, Vee! What a wonderful idea for a table covering & napkins! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Vee,
ReplyDeleteI came back by to answer your question. My answer is, flying by the seat of my pants and with a little help from my friends!
I have to say Martha's table is styled to perfection but it lacks warmth. Yours on the other hand looks like a table I could get cozy at with. It is so warm and inviting! I LOVE those dishes. I have seen them in antique stores and often thought they would be wonderful holiday dishes. Love the bargain on the pumpkins too! It looks like you have things under hand, get off your feet and rest! NOW! Shoo, sit, relax, John, make her rest some so she can enjoy her day. Blessings to you both!
Congrats to Nancy and Vee I wanted to let you know I got my wonderful smelling oil today in the mail. Thanks so much! I put it on some light bulbs and my rooms smell great now! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteJoy, try some on yourself, too, okay? ;>
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Nancy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous table, Vee!! I love your dishes and the dinner napkins are pure genius! Great job and Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Hugs,
Erin ♥
Everything looks so lovely Vee! Better than Martha's table!
ReplyDeleteYour dishes are so nice for Thanksgiving. Is that Lindt white chocolate truffles that I see scattered along the table runner?
:-)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
Hugs, Pat
Happy Thanksgiving, Vee!! I commented on this post, since you don't have comments on for today's post!!
ReplyDeleteYour table and everything just sounds wonderful to me! That John is a whiz, I tell you, a whiz!!
Have a blessed day with family and friends!
Big hugs to a very special friend!!

I agree that everyone should sit at one table. I bought those dishcloths to use as napkins for a large party I was having. Everyone was crazy about them because they had great "wipe-ability".
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day. Don't allow yourself to get stressed out.
