pin to present: Thanksgiving table

It's right about this time every November that my mom and I start perusing Pinterest (okay, frantically searching) for Thanksgiving tablescape ideas. Which reminded me that I had a few snapshots of last year's Pinterest-inspired settings I hadn't yet shared!

We love a good kraft paper table topper, and - importantly - my mom still has remnants of a huge roll of it from my sister's wedding, so this one was pretty quick and easy, once I had cut out little cardboard templates for the utensils and could then trace them all on. And table settings with a nice candle glow are always a good touch - we opted for the safer LED versions, but lovely all the same.

How are you prepping Thanksgiving this year? I'm still thinking my herringbone pumpkins might be a good centerpiece option over here...
