Thanksgiving Farm Style Tablescape

By Tamera Beardsley @tamerabeardsley
My farm style inspired Thanksgiving tableis finished!
I am ever so happy  about how it came out!
I used all of the elements I mentioned in this
post.
Beginning with our farm table made by my talented husband.
I started my tablescape with the slate tilesused as placemats.
Their size actually worked out perfectlyeven with the chargers.
My white dish collectionlayered on beautifullywith  each place setting a little different.
to accentuate the farm style inspirationI used flour sack towelsfor napkins.
I brought a dose of whimsy to the tablewith the use of a collection ofwoodland creature salt and peppers shakers.
Another farm table inspiration
milk bottles for table water
paired perfectly with canning and jam jars for water glasses.
I mentioned in my
style item post
that I was using tiny easels for place card holders.
These are from Pottery Barn years agonow as we are lucky enough to have an expanding table
I needed to add to my collection.
I was excited to find at the art store
these tiny easelsand even more excitingthese tiny chalkboard canvases
All I had to do was use a pastel chalk pencil to write in this years names!
In the winter and fallI love using candleswhen I entertain
Not just on the table but all over the roomto create a warm and dramatic ambiance.
This year I have already trimmed my wicks down to a 1/4 inchto ensure there is no over burn from wicks that are too long.
In another nod to my farm table scheme
I chose a vintage bottle crateto create a simple centerpieceof candles and branches.
Candlesspread throughout the table create the perfect Thanksgiving glow.
Now with my table complete
my next fun project 
Styling my Thanksgiving Day outfit.

As always dear friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
