Thanksgiving Tablescapes

Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE a good tablescape.  I love creating them, I love dining at them, I love everything about them.  While Thanksgiving has come and gone here in Canada and I’ve moved on to Christmas tablescapes (I can’t wait to show you what I’ve come up with!!!); in honour of America Thanksgiving, I thought I would pull together some of the most inspired tablescapes from around the web to spark creativity and excitement for setting your own Thanksgiving or Christmas table.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American Friends!
