I spent most of yesterday getting the house cleaned
and running to the food store and finishing up my shopping
to be ready for Thanksgiving.
I'll be using the purple transferware to set the table this year
and I am quite excited that I have 8 place settings in the Rural Scenes to do so!
I was missing one plate, and then remembered
I had sent a piece of pie next doors on it to my MIL.
My colors will be purple with white and a bit of aqua blue.
I made some quick arrangements out of purple carnations in some old mason jars.
Trying to show off some angles of the house that I haven't photographed lately~
Gathering the plates and things by bits.
I will be using a white needlework tablecloth,
but since I have to have a big dinner tonight
since my youngest came home from college,
I won't be setting the table until tomorrow.
These mason jars are things I picked up two summers ago
and have never used. I like how they look
with the inexpensive purple carnations (an underrated flower, don't you think?
I got two new pillows for the sofa in
baby blue frenchy script by Raymond Waites.
I set up the desert table last night in the dining room.
Those candlesticks will head to the table.
The candles have silver glitter are really pretty in the clear crystal stands.
The kitchen got a simple ribbon with some
old Thanksgiving Day postcards from 1910.
That is one hundred years ago~
they are postmarked and have little notes
wishing family members a happy holiday.
Wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving from Maison Decor!
It's all just beautiful! I'm so enjoying seeing everyone's table settings. A far cry from my husband and me eating off paper plates in our laps. LOL Yes, it's just us this year. Everyone else is off doing their own thing.

Happy Thanksgiving! Who would think? A purple Thanksgiving. Everything is so pretty. I have old Thanksgiving postcards too. I used to buy them at flea markets because they were so cheap compared to Halloween and Christmas ones and just as pretty. Love the new pillows.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely day.
Love the colors, Amy.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice switch from the expected colors of fall!
Love it!
Hope you had a lovely day with your family.

Happy Thanksgiving Amy ! I envy you, here in Canada our Thanksgiving is not as important as yours.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely home, the lamps on your desert table are very beautiful. All the soft colours in your home add a sense of serenity and I especially love the pictures of your living room.
Have fun !

ReplyDeleteSoooo pretty! The mason jars are fabulous, love the color combination! Having been in the florist industry for 20 years I have to say that when I started, carnations were one of my favorites and still are. A simple flower and underrated as you said. It is a beautiful Victorian flower that lasts forever and has so much charm! I have always loved the smell of carnations. Your rooms looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Thanksgiving color scheme! I love putting the lavendar and blues together. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe house looks beautiful!!! It looks like you had a great Thanksgiving!!! I'm glad you stopped by because I'm excited to continue exploring your blog!!! I'm your newest follower!!! Glad to have a new bloggy friend!
