My Thanksgiving table is set! The linens have been pressed, the china has been cleaned and I finally decided on my Thanksgiving table decorations. A couple of weeks ago, I posted a bunch of Thanksgiving decorating ideas I had been gathering up. Here is what I ended up with:
Hurricane glass with nuts and candle
I purchased the hurricane glass and candle at Garden Ridge. The nuts came from my local grocery store.
Sunflowers in vase with washi tape
You might remember how I love washi tape!
And mini pumpkins!
purchased at Whole Foods
I also wanted to decorate our mantle in the living room which opens up to our kitchen. This main room is where everyone will be hanging out while the turkey is cooking and football is on. Check out what I came up with:
Thankful Sign
Free printables here for the letters, plus some ribbon from a craft store.
More mini pumpkins & little trees
I found these cute little trees in wood boxes at Trader Joes
Glass vases with scented pinecone mix
Purchased at Michael’s
For the dessert table I wanted a sign that read “I am thankful for dessert”….because aren’t we all 🙂

Mandi and Heather visited the Vintage Charlotte Holiday Market last weekend and had a blast combing through all of the booths to find vintage and handmade treasures!
You might remember Vintage Charlotte from last month’s giveaways. We had an Instagram contest to win a beautiful set of vintage bowls and also featured some goodies (including an early bird ticket to this show) in our local Charlotte giveaway package. Congrats again on our winners!
There were so many awesome vendors at this pop up market and some had the best displays of their goodies. Just look at how cute this booth set up is from The Brass Grasshopper!
These were some of our other favorites…
Handmade accessories and art by Free Spirit Jenny
Letterpress Coasters by Vintage Concord
(Mandi and Heather being graphic designers are a sucker for letterpress!)
Paper and Light Sculptures by Kathryn Godwin
Jewelry from Here a Chick, There a Chick
Vintage Children’s Books from Vintage Southern
Here is Ms. Vintage Charlotte herself, Amy Herman.
You put on a great event Amy! We look forward to next year!

The season of giving thanks is upon us. To celebrate, I want to share with you some more lowcountry inspiration for entertaining this holiday season. We live in Charleston, SC which is home to many creative transplants from around the globe.
Last week I shared holiday mocktails to spice up the festivus season. This week, I want to share with you holiday tablescapes as we all prepare for Thanksgiving. As I shared last week, some of Charleston top creatives gathered at the Out of Hand Warehouse to share tips and inspiration for holiday entertaining. The event even had a hashtag #oohwhatafind if you want to look at other inspiration shots.
