HAPPY NOVEMBER

Happy November

November, with its arrival of cool crisp air and welcomed relief from summer's humidity holds a special appeal for me. The season is perfect for cozy evenings at home by the fire with hot chocolate in a favorite mug and a good book, all while the excitement of planning and decorating for the upcoming holidays. I decided to set a Thanksgiving table using my John Derian pillows for the centerpiece. Beginning with a turkey trot down the center of the table I placed the turkey on a Nathalie Lété cake stand that's decorated with fruit. Next comes the hen along with a squirrel, owl, acorn and pear.

I included a collection of mushrooms throughout for a woodland theme I love. 

I am using our Portmeirion Birds of Britain place settings.

The stemware is Nathalie Lété along with napkins I will add to the sideboard. 

More mushrooms!

I added orange kalanchoe and orange mini roses to complete the table setting. I don't think I could add another thing! The black flatware is a favorite from MacKenzie-Childs several years ago. 

 

November is most celebrated for Thanksgiving. It is a time for giving thanks for those we love and hold dear. We will be home with family preparing a tradition feast. I would like to hear what you love about November and what you have planned for Thanksgiving. Thanks so much for your visit.
