So, after today, the kids are off school for the next week and I’m thinking I’ll take the week off from blogging too.  As we head into the weekend, I thought I’d leave you with some pretty ideas for setting your Thanksgiving table that I found on Pinterest.  I do not have a table to set myself, as we will be spending the holiday at my sister’s house … but if you are making the big bird this year, perhaps you could use some of these ideas …

I love the idea of this Thankful Tree. Everyone gets to write down the things they are thankful for and hang them on the tree.  I think kids would love it, and even as adults, sometimes we need to stop and take a moment to think about the blessings in our lives.

A cute idea for place settings. And I love elevating pumpkins on a cake stand.

Isn’t this centerpiece gorgeous? Instead of a vase, use a pumpkin!

This is one is so simple but elegant. Walnuts, acorns, chestnuts … they give this centerpiece such a natural, organic feel.

I absolutely love the table setting below.  Who says you can’t add in a little blue for Thanksgiving I think it looks beautiful paired with the traditional fall colors of the season.

Again, why not use small gourds instead of bowls?

A little somethin’ in addition to your pumpkin pie … wouldn’t the kids gobble (no pun intended!) these up!

And speaking of kids, how cute is this “Kid’s Table?”

Have a great week and a wonderful Thanksgiving!
