Beehive Themed Party Tablescape Beehive Themed Party Tablescape

We live part time in Utah and one of the things I love most about this state is Pioneer Day, which is celebrated on July 24th every year! Utah is the Beehive State and it represents industry and people working together, much like bee's work together to build their beehive. This is where my Bee Themed Party Tablescape inspiration came from.

When the Mormon pioneers journeyed west in the mid 1800's to settle in Utah, they all worked together to help one another survive. Some of those courageous people were my great grandparents and I feel a deep appreciation for the hardships they faced while starting a new life in what was and still is a desert.

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!
