THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPES

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.  Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. -Melanie Beady

I confess that I am not a very good cook, but I am incredibly grateful that I have a husband who is a wonderful cook and many dear friends that keep me very well fed!  Despite my terrible culinary skills, I absolutely ADORE setting a beautiful table and arranging flowers for any occasion. Fortunately for me, I can let others do the cooking and I can have fun creating the table. Whenever I need inspiration, I always turn to Eddie RossDanielle Rollins,  Tory Burch, Carolyn Roehm, Frances Schultz, and Jamie Meares.  Their use of color, scale, texture, pattern, and found objects incorporated into the settings are clever, artistic, and unexpected. These designers, tastemakers and creative minds always delight and surprise me with their table settings.
