Sharing a Rustic Table For Thanksgiving including greenery, green garland, and velvet pumpkins for warmly welcoming your guests.

When I saw these white ceramic turkeys at Pottery Barn (linked at the bottom of the post) a few months back, I knew I wanted to create a tablescape around them. I envisioned a rustic table for Thanksgiving with a green garland and some velvet pumpkins throughout.

I started with a tan linen table runner and layered faux green leafed stems, eucalyptus, and some smaller faux sage bunches. I added in a few small white flower stems and some tan colored pinecone picks.

I used some rustic candlestick holders with white candles and some turkey shaped salt shakers. I also found some matching turkey place card holders that I'll put place cards in when I have finalized the guest list for Thanksgiving.

For the places setting, I used light, neutral colors to create a rustic feel to the table. I used a pretty

Sharing my pumpkin themed fall tablescape for autumn decor inspiration and a gorgeous way to host family and guests Pumpkin Themed Fall Tablescape

When I saw these cute pumpkin dishes at HomeGoods, I knew I had to do a Pumpkin Themed Fall Tablescape. I often search for unique dishes for my tablescapes and when I found these cute pumpkin plates and bowls, I envisioned this festive table with different types of pumpkins.

The one downside with HomeGoods is that there is not always a full set of any place setting. After searching six different stores in two different states, I finally had enough for 10 place settings! Whew! It was a lot of work tracking these dishes down but it has been so worth it. My sweet husband actually found half of them for me! He's a keeper!

I did two different tablescapes with these dishes, mainly because I

Sage Green and White Fall Transitional Tablescape

As we start heading towards fall, I thought it would be nice to create a neutral tablescape that still works for summer but also works as a fall transitional tablescape. I had invited three different families over for “Lasagna Night” and wanted to try out a new recipe I had for peaches since they were in season. I planned on having about twenty guests. I decided to use the outdoor table for the kids' table, and the indoor table for the adults. I also utilized the bar for four more place settings for some of the bigger kids. (Holly's Homemade Lasagna Recipe) (Fresh Peach Dessert)

I pulled out my sage green dishes, white dishes, all my tan and white napkins, and wicker napkin rings. I also pulled out some woven placemats that mixed nicely with both sets of dishes and linens. I played around with the different plates and linens to see what looked nice

Fresh Peach Dessert Recipe Whether I am in Utah or Washington, at the end of the summer it is peach season! Both states have a lot of peach trees! I love peaches and the yummy desserts you can make with them. Peaches remind me of summertime and this fresh peach dessert recipe makes me wish it was summertime all year long! A few weeks back I was at a family gathering at my brothers home in Cache Valley in Northern Utah. They had invited some friends and family over to celebrate my nephews return from a two year mission for our church. After the church service, we went back to their home and my brother and his wife hosted a luncheon. We were all so hungry after a long morning driving up there and attending church so when I saw this amazing peach dessert, I knew I was going to have to try it! Everyone there was salivating over it. I shouldn’t admit it, but I dished that up first and ate that before I had anything else! Who needs to eat a sandwich first when there’s a
