Hello everybody! How is your weekend so far? I have a cold going these days that I can’t seem to get rid of, but I hope I’ll get better soon.
I promised you that I would show you some pictures from our Thanksgiving dinner that we had on Thursday, and here they are…
We were invited to some friends that live in a beautiful house here in LA. I helped my friend Sarah with the cooking, so now I know how to make Thanksgiving dinner. I was also in charge of the table setting, which I love to do.
I made “Thank you” tags that I put on every napkin and I attached straw on the candle blocks.
I also brought my artificial spruce-garland which I put on the table.
They already had some flowers, which is always a nice way to add some colors to the table and the room. They matched nicely with the chairs as well.
I didn’t want to decorate the table too much since we were having a lot of food.
Sometimes less is more *smile*
The table was so nice when we got all the food there, but since it was very dark it was difficult to take good pictures as I don’t have a flash. But this picture underneath wasn’t that bad.
I was so full after all the delicious food and awesome pumpkin pie – you can’t even imagine!
A great day with good friends!

Love the table! Simple and elegant:) The food looked amazing 2! 😉
Beautiful table and that garland is divine! I love garland that looks like real pine and am working on acquiring more of the realistic looking strands.
I have one thing to tell people who don’t have a Thanksgiving celebration in their home country, Thanksgiving may be steeped in American traditions but the words Thanks and Giving are for everyone no matter where they are at. So if people around the world want to have a meal with family, friends and loved ones then I say go for it. Start a trend! A good one at that!! It’s one “holiday” that isn’t steeped in religious beliefs. So who can possibly object to people around the world taking a day to be thankful and giving.
Just my thoughts…
Blessings,
Shanna:)
