Quaker Hill Farm: Bless our Home this Thanksgiving day!

As Thanksgiving quickly approaches we are asking for a special blessing of Thanksgiving on our homes and our nation. It was a simple blessing of thanks that first Thanksgiving and at Quaker Hill Farm it will be a simple blessing of thanks also!

I plan our menu around favorites that I make every year. So I just pull out the menu and begin! I am trying to have the tables prepared and as much cooking out of the way as possible before Thursday. The table will be a simple setting.

I had one lone gourd that survived the recent cold snap. It is the focal point for the table. It is topped with berries, leaves, and a bit of hydrangea. The quilt has a leaf pattern which goes well with the table arrangement.

In keeping with the simple theme, I am using a paper leaf patterned napkin. The dishes were a thrift store find! It is a Mikasa pattern and there was 8 plates in this wheat pattern. I paid $9.99 for the set. There were also salad plates and soup bowls. I was thrilled to say the least.

A very plain simple place mat was made from a piece of card stock. A leaf was then glued to one edge to coordinate with the table.

The Give Thanks sign was given to me from a recent teacup and mug exchange with the Enchanting Rose! I just love it! Thank you to Heather of Blue Jeans and Teacups!
