Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite holidays. It usually means a trip to my grandmas cozy house with an overload of family and even more pies (there’s usually at least 35!). I’ve never actually had to do much besides be in the pie assembly line but here’s a simple table idea that I put together that can be easily replicated. Just grab a nice patterned linen, spray paint some pumpkins and use tags as place cards. If you love giving favors like I do, stamp a few gratitude notebooks or thank you cards to send home with your guests.

Oh, now I can’t wait another two weeks for pie! Hooray for the holidays.
