RAE DUNN THANKSGIVING...SETTING THE CHILDREN'S TABLE

Let's see.....

how many years have I been creating the children's tablescape

for Thanksgiving day?

Close to 40 years I think!!!!

Even though, "the children" are now grown-up

and the grandbabies are in college and high school, not to mention

our Luke the Duke, who seems rather grown-up for an 11 year old,

I still think I want to have them feel there is something special 

just for their dining pleasure!

This is just in case, the formal dining room is too full

to seat everyone comfortably......

The menu is planned and the shopping list has been prepared

for grocery shopping, so I pretty much know when

all the recipes need to be prepared!!

This look was really fun to design

and I am over the moon happy with the result!

I am sure many of you are RAE DUNN fan's

which so many are collecting....

This was my very first Rae Dunn purchase and I must say....

I simply adore this plate set!

My new Rae Dunn Thanksgiving appetizer plate collection....

I am using table linens that are from

Pampered Chef which I have had for years....

I made this floral arrangement back in September, so am

using this as my centerpiece.

I paired the wooden spools with birch bark candles

and pulled out one of my little harvest couples.....

I adore this little amber glass turkey dish.....

And of course..Mr. Tom Turkey has a place of honor.....

Thankful

Gobble

Blessed

I can smell the aroma of Autumn baked goods...

Pumpkin Bread, Cranberry Nut Bread and the most loved

Tea Time Tessies, along with Spiced Tea.....

I think all our hearts go home for the holidays.........
