Thanksgiving Tablescapes, Pumpkins and Decor...

Hi there!

How are you?  The weather here in Miami has been awesome lately - mild and breezy, cool at night... *Sigh* if only it could be like this year round!  At the very least I hope it lasts through the end of the year!  The holiday season is in full swing once again and another big day is fast approaching, the food holiday - my favorite - Thanksgiving, ooh la la I can't wait!  What are your plans for the wonderful day?  At my house we'll be making our favorite family recipes - you can find links below to a few that I've shared in the past such as Sweet Potato Casserole and our yummy stuffing!  I plan to share some more recipes this year so stay tuned!

I've gathered some Thanksgiving and fall tablescape inspiration images to get your gears turning for decorating that holiday table!  Lots of goodies and ideas for using your Halloween pumpkins for Thanksgiving decorating.  I'll be sharing my holiday table and buffet decor in an upcoming post, but for now I hope enjoy this post.

You might also like these holiday posts for from years past.  Since some of you might also be planning ahead for Christmas, I've included links to past Christmas posts as well....

West Elm Holiday Decor and Gifts

I really like West Elm, they have great style and there's always something (many things) to love in their catalog.  Yes, they can be expensive, but they also have great sales and affordable decor that is usually too cute to resist!  For example, their 2010 Fall Holiday line....  I don't have to go on too much about it, the pictures speak for themselves.  Right now there's a sale on a lot of holiday and regular items, including an additional 15% off with the code MOREOFFCODE at checkout!  I'm trying to be very frugal this Christmas, on top of the fact that I'm moving so I could care less to shop, but I still need to go out and get a few things this weekend.  So, if you're in the same boat GOOD LUCK and happy shopping!  It's a jungle out there, AH!  Oh, and I hope you love this stuff as much as I do...

(P.S. - wow, white ceramic stuff is becoming so popular!  I'm growing to like it - in moderation)

Beautiful decorative table top Christmas Trees with great texture....

Great ornaments for your holiday tree.... you know I'm loving that cardboard owl!!!

These are some cute clip/wire on flowers for your tree or a nice decorative touch to your gift wrapping!

Goodies for your kitchen or next party... including lots of pretty platters, funky olive oil and vinegar dispensers and much more...

Very nice collection of Nutcracker themed dishes and platters...

LOVE these Olive Oil and Vinegar dispensers... Especially the birds!

I'm really liking all this white ceramic stuff... Milk carton pitcher, can salt and pepper shakers, can flour and sugar canisters and...I found that same ceramic egg crate at Ross for $1.49!  HA! 

Great cheese board, glass dome and cutting accessories!

Beautiful plates galore!

Funky patterned serving platters...

...and awesome Mushroom and Animal art print dessert plates!

Get a load of this spectacular hammered metal collection, including bowls, platters, pitchers and drink mixers!  The faceted metal mixer on the bottom left is nice too...

And of course, some classy faux branch Candelabras and candle holders, the Manzanita collection to be exact...
