Setting a fall table the quick and easy way, using what I already had around the house.
It looks like I am doing both Thanksgiving & Christmas Dinner at my house this year.
So I decided it was time to start planning my table for Thanksgiving. It is going to have to be simple and easy to accommodate the food.
I prefer to have my food on the table when I am having a small family get together for the holidays.
That keeps people at the table and great conversation flowing.
I may be looking at 6 to 8 people for dinner this year, so the food and the table may turn out to be a simple one that once the wood cake stand, and the salvaged table leg is removed?
I have room for food.
While out shopping recently I overheard a conversation between two women. One was arguing with the other that it was justified if she went over her spending budget.
Because it was for a holiday and it would make her guests feel more welcome if she bought “this”.
I made a face and “she” glanced at me, asking “Don’t you agree?”
No.
The devil is in the details. Maybe a detail is a handmade treat for your guests to take home.
A $2.00 picture frame with a photo of everyone sitting at the table to commemorate your time together?
A nice warm hug when you greet your guests and a cocktail?
The hugs are free!
Since when does the amount of money you spend, correlate with how much people mean to you?
Seriously! Have you ever in your life left a dinner party and said
I am not coming back here again. She didn’t spend enough money on this party? Where’s my hand wrapped chocolates gold leafed from Switzerland?
I haven’t
So maybe simple and easy and a warm hug is what’s needed for this table.
XO,
