Welcome to the 585th Tablescape Thursday! Everywhere I look, there are reminders of how special Thanksgiving was this year.

Welcome to the 577th Tablescape Thursday! I set this table inside, then moved the whole thing outside onto the porch.

Welcome to the 574th Tablescape Thursday! Yesterday I stopped by two of my favorite stores to check out the autumn dishware offerings.
