Thanksgiving Farm Style Tablescape

My farm style inspired Thanksgiving table

 is finished!

I am ever so happy  about how it came out!

I used all of the elements I mentioned in this 
post.

Beginning with our farm table made by my talented husband.

I started my tablescape with the 

slate tiles

used as placemats.

Their size actually worked out perfectly

even with the chargers.

My

 white dish collection

layered on beautifully

with  each place setting a little different.

to accentuate the farm style inspiration

I used

 flour sack towels

for napkins.

I brought a dose of whimsy to the table

with the use of a collection of

woodland creature salt and peppers shakers.

Another farm table inspiration

milk bottles for table water

paired perfectly 

with canning and jam jars for water glasses.

I mentioned in my
style item post

that I was using tiny

 easels for place card holders.

These are from Pottery Barn years ago

now as we are lucky enough to have an expanding table

I needed to add to my collection.

I was excited to find at the art store

these

 tiny easels

and even more exciting

these

 tiny chalkboard canvases

All I had to do was use a 

pastel chalk pencil to write in this years names!

In the winter and fall

I love using

 candles

when I entertain

Not just on the table but all over the room

to create a warm and dramatic ambiance.

This year I have already

trimmed my wicks down to a 1/4 inch

to ensure there is no over burn 

from wicks that are too long.

In another nod to my farm table scheme

I chose 

a vintage bottle crate

to create a simple centerpiece

of 

candles and branches.

Candles

spread throughout the table create the 

perfect Thanksgiving glow.

Now with

 my table complete

my next fun project 

Styling my Thanksgiving Day outfit.

As always dear friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
