Wes's family is getting together this weekend at my family's lake cabin to celebrate Thanksgiving. Which makes me kind of the hostess? Everyone's pitching in on the food, and though it will be very low-key, I'd still like to make it special. (Photo via Southern Exposure)
I haven't quite worked out the table yet, but it will be very rustic and simple. I'm taking my fairytale pumpkin, a couple of baby boos, and am going to gather pine cones, leaves, and acorns when we get there.
I originally hoped to carve the pumpkin and use it as a vase as Eddie did at an event in Philadelphia (photos via High Street Market), but that just isn't happening.
To add to the natural elements, I've got burlap, copper, pewter and linen. Now here's to hoping that the dishwasher will be working and we won't have to ruin the whole thing with paper plates!
And by the way, this holiday hostess business is no joke. Remind me to thank my aunts and grandmothers next time I see them ...

I love simple and rustic! Sometimes a table is so over the top that one can't focus on eating and conversing. Enjoy your hostesting. Carla
Thanksgiving seems to be the only time that I like a rustic table setting. This one just makes me want to pull up one of those gorgeous chairs and dig into some pumpkin pie! Divine!
Just my style. Have fun!
Chinet looks like burlap, right?
Bc my husband won't budge on paper plates this year.
Thanks for the rustic-tablescape inspiration, please keep it coming!!!!
