Gathered Together Thanksgiving Ideas

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday to decorate for. In daily life I gravitate to warm cozy colors like browns, golds, deep greens and burgundy. So it's natural to enjoy using my wool blankets and brown transferware vintage dishes to celebrate the Holidays now that the weather has turned nippy It's just begging me to cozy up and enjoy family gatherings with favorite comfort food and a comfy fire in the hearthroom. 

These are some of my favorite pieces to use in the Entry and Garden Room. Let's start in the Entry where I have out my "oatmeal" tree with Fall leaves and dried hydrangeas. I call it my Oatmeal tree because its a combination of creams, grays and browns. It looks like old book pages and lends itself to vintage vignettes any time of the year, but I use it mostly at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Years ago I hand painted and put together a Fall wreath starting with individual fall leaves with creamy whites, grays, and browns. I'm using my smaller vintage print, "The Angelus", a painting by Jean Francois Millet. I've used this same vintage print for years for Thanksgiving in all of my past Entry areas.

I don't change up the Living Room with seasonal decor much, so here are a few pics from earlier in the year.

Here in the Formal Dining Room I'm still using my earlier Fall decor with the gorgeous Heirloom Needlepoint Pumpkins.

My white ironstone tureen and platter are a staple here on the buffet.

Casual Dining in the Garden Room, where there's an ever changing seasonal vignette on the farmtable.

Here's the Pie Safe Cupboard (aka the Holiday Cupboard) in the Garden Room filled with Ironstone, Brown Transferware, and Vintage Turkeys.

This time of year I'm using my Brown Plaid Pendleton and Scottish blankets on my white wicker pieces in the Garden Room with my hooked wool pillows. I found my hooked pillows at a big crafts fair that we used to attend in Ozark, Missouri.

The Garden Room is a large sunroom off the Kitchen and Hearth room where the Casual Dining space and Wicker Sitting Area are located. It's filled with vintage pieces and collectibles. Behind the fireplace there is just enough room for the old church pew and Goat Cart for filled for Fall.
