Transition into Thanksgiving

they the feeling will come!)

So for today’s post, I wanted to share with you the details that went into our romantic table for two (and secretly hope for creative juices to start flowing for this year’s table! I have no idea what direction I want to go in and we actually have guests this year!) Hallelujah! I love hosting get togethers!

An intimate table for two…

I also printed out our own place setting (you know, so we’d know where ‘everyone’ was sitting) 😉 I used the same ‘fancy’ card stock from the menus and cut a small divot in some wine corks and voila!

(This also gave me the perfect excuse to use some of our wedding china…Halla!) We already had these gorgeous glass candle sticks from Pottery Barn to add height, dimension, and soft candle light to the table. I topped the soft white table runner with (another) Mother Nature’s own maple leaves and small votive candles throughout.

The spread…
As you can see from the menu, we had quite the feast for two! I just couldn’t help myself from making some of my favorite Southern traditions for our first Thanksgiving together. I’m pretty sure most of them will be making their way back on a comeback tour to the Cott’s Thanksgiving table this year! and the dessert…well, I might just have to post the recipe for the that one! It was brand new for us both last year and quickly became a favorite sweet treat to repeat.

Bon appétit!

And there ya’ have it folks! Pretty simple really, it only took a little time, creativity, and ink to make this Thanksgiving feast come to life! Now I’m off to start prepping for our turkey trotters and friendly feasters…I can’t believe Thanksgiving is almost here! What plans do you have this year for your Thanksgiving get together?

Thanks for reading!
