Since we may not be able to have all of those we love to Thanksgiving this year I think it is even more important to make it as beautiful as possible.
This time of year, I needed to buy most of my flowers, but I still had plenty of greens in the garden I harvested sprigs of sage, thyme, bay, hebe, dusty miller and rose hips.
When placing your flowers, I find that odd numbered collections of flowers always look better and more natural in an arrangement. Also, clumping a few of the same flowers together resembles what you would see in nature.
Here’s how they look on the table with the dishes of fruit and smoky gray candles. Don’t worry, I’ll pull out the silver tomorrow.
If you’re looking for recipes, here are a few of my tried and true favorites:
Finally, I decided to try the Utterly Deadly Southern Pecan Pie baked in a Cast Iron Pan, using rum instead of bourbon, and let me tell you, my kitchen smells divine.

Positively gorgeous Emily! We used similar florals!!
Thanks Cindy! I'll bet your table was gorgeous!
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
It seems like years since we were in French class together in villefranche…
Bisous, Susan
Susan the same to you. Yes, it seems like SO long ago. I have been working on my verbs :0 and hope to return early next year. Happy Thanksgiving!
