Thank you for reminding people that paper plates just contribute to our already overflowing landfills!!!!!! I understand that some people want to “make cleanup easier”, but what about the cleanliness of our precious land, waters and air??!?!!?!? So thank you for that. Your tablescapes are always exceptionally beautiful and thoughtfully conceived. I really enjoyed scrolling through these various examples from years past. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you Alycia!! I was hoping I wouldn't make anyone mad or upset with that, but I feel so strongly about the disposability we are too content with these days and worry about the future:-) Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Thank you so much Pinky!! I just have to get my dishes out and play more. It seems like I don't do it anymore.

So much beauty! I'm not sure if I've told you before how much I love your home. I tend to lurk more than comment, but occasionally am moved to comment and come out of hiding. I was motivated by your expressing yourself regarding paper plates. I love when bloggers can insert just a little bit of realities of life in the midst of so much beauty. It is so important! I love the ritual of washing dishes anyway, so paper plates just go against every grain for me. I feel like I have expressed to you before how much I love the history of your home, and your ability to weave together your history and your present in such a beautiful way. It can't hurt to say it again, just in case I've only thought it before. I particularly love the box, the pine cones hanging from ribbons and the Ivy and Johnson Brothers. But I love it all.

Anita, these are all beautiful but I just want to give an enthusiastic acknowledgement about the Whitehall glassware by Indiana Glass! I love these tumblers and have collected them in several colors because they not only sparkle - but they also leave plenty of room for your actual beverage even after you put ice in the glass! :) Such a simple thing, but I love them for that very reason and use them daily! The wooden box of course is beautiful but I also love the idea of using an old weathered board as a backdrop for the natural items used in the centerpiece. Again, all of these are really beautiful!

DeleteGood gracious! Those tablescapes are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, Anita! Wow wow wow wow wow - I'd be very hard-pressed to pick a favorite! They're all amazingly put together. Well done on every one. BRAVO!!!!
