Rustic Transferware Tablescape for Thanksgiving

Hello friends, I'm re-sharing a favorite Thanksgiving tablescape post that I created back in 2013 at our original "blog house". I bring this out of the moth balls every few years because to me it's still up-to-date for a vintage style holiday gathering. I know it's later in the Thanksgiving season, but it might give us a last minute idea or two for our own holiday tables using vintage dishes and ironstone with autumn (or any season) color. 

Transitioning from Fall and Thanksgiving to Christmas

Contemplating the Age Old Question...

When to decorate for Christmas; or more plainly... when do you start decorating for Christmas even when you love Thanksgiving and don't want to let that go. Well, I've learned some tips and ideas for making the transition starting to bring out Christmas things but still enjoy the look and feel of Thanksgiving and late fall.

Tweaking a Seed Box Display for Thanksgiving

A few weeks ago I put together a fun late October seed box display on the farm table in the Garden Room. I've really enjoyed it and wanted to keep the basic elements, but give it a re-boot for Thanksgiving. It was an easy fix with just a few pieces.

Vintage Cottage Thanksgiving in the Holiday Cupboard

Hello to November! We're in the Holiday Cupboard today, playing with turkeys and vintage Thanksgiving pieces to put together a grouping that celebrates the last month of fall. Before we get into all the Christmas decorating and excitement, I like to take a bit to commemorate a time of blessing and Thanksgiving. It's easy to run past the Thanksgiving holiday; to get up the tree and deck the halls, but let's pay tribute to this warm and cozy time of Giving Thanks.

Are You Ready for Some Thanksgiving Inspiration?

Hello Friends, this is the time of year that I'm a bit crazy juggling 3 seasonal decor themes. "Mid" fall with some nostalgic October fun, late fall with Thanksgiving, and then starting to think about Christmas by bringing out the Christmas tree and evergreens. Here we go into the slide toward the holidays, so during the next little bit I'll be sharing some inspiration for Thanksgiving into Christmas as I make the transition from Fall to the Holidays.

October Garden Room and the Baker's Rack

We're at the final stretch of October, and I'm sharing my Garden Room wicker sitting area with fall seasonal color. This flying geese patterned vintage quilt is one of my favorites with golds and autumnal hued fabrics. It almost always ends up on the settee at some point in Fall.

Fall Vignettes with Faux Flowers and a Sweet Floral Gift

This little mishmash post came about because of an empty orange Du Monde Chicory Coffee can. We bought this chicory coffee several years ago and when emptied out, my husband mentioned I might want to save it because of the advertising and pretty orange color. Good call, Hubby! When this fall rolled around I was excited to see how I could use it in a small floral arrangement.
