Fall is my favorite time to decorate even though we don't have "real fall" here in Monterey County. I usually host Thanksgiving for about 22-25 people. This year we got rid of our pool table (which was our back up table) so we are going to have to get creative. If the weather is nice, which it often is, we have plenty of outdoor space. As usual I am looking to Pinterest for inspiration. Here are some of my tablescapes from years past and some of my new favorites.

Your tables are straight out of magazines Cindy! Yours are my fave and how I wish I had a demijohn to copy the first one! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vel...the demijohns are so readily available out here...I bet you can find them. They are imported from Hungary
DeleteOMG, those chairbacks with your initials !!!! Too too wonderful. The hanging-bucket is so snazzy but I could never get away with that (though I want to!), and the napkin details are great! I posted the entire thing to my TUMBLR so I could see it anytime & forever. Just beautiful !!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marsh! I couldn't pull off the hanging bucket either but I love it!! Have a great week!!
DeleteYou are so talented! And don't you love the one with the eggplant and carrots (THAT was supposed to be our luncheon idea-- :)
ReplyDeleteOOPS!! We can still use it!!
DeleteLove them all so colorful and inviting!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karolyn I wish I could paint pumpkins like you!!!
DeleteCindy, wow...thank you for the beautiful, inspiring tablescapes! I love the wonderful colors of fall and decorating a gorgeous table brings so much to a festive occasion. Our family is so excited about spending Thanksgiving at your lovely home and I plan on bringing lots of decorations for our table! Though all of the tables are pretty, the pics you shared of your past thanksgiving tables are the best, xoxo Gail
ReplyDeleteHi Gail
DeletePlease send me pictures of your decor!! I always love seeing what people create at the lake house! Thanks for your sweet comments.
OMG it's all stunning. There is just so much more to a meal than just the food, it's the atmosphere, the company, the conversation, a table like these would certainly go a very long way to making everything perfect. I have to admit even every supper with the children, every evening, we do have flowers on the table and lots of antique silver candlesticks, somehow it just calms everyone and slows things down.
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were growing up we all ate together as a family no matter how late it was. I am not sure there were always flowers though! I love reading about your life in France. Your blog is just lovely.
DeleteLEAVE SOME ROOM FOR THE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo worries we always have WAY to much food!!
DeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteI love all of these and will definitely be pinning them to my inspiration board for fall tablescapes. Most of all I love the simplicity and use of natures best this time of year.
Thanks for sharing.

I do too Karen. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year.

ReplyDeleteCelia no one decorates a table like you!!
