Hello sweet friends! Are your holiday preparations underway?
Since last Friday I have been working on table decor, among other things, for the 2017 National Cowgirl Museum Induction Luncheon which is being held today.
This year has a lovely group of women being inducted into the Hall of Fame including singer Reba McEntire, artist Ashley Collins, and Ann Romney.
The centerpiece I created consisted of stacked boxes made of reclaimed wood filled with the bounty of the season.
A small box planted with a paperwhite was made for each place setting at the table. It should bloom just in time for Christmas.
You can see the finished tablescape at the event venue on my Instagram.
An Exciting Thanksgiving Week
Sweet Guy has the week off from school and Mr. Decor has taken vacation time off to help with the exterior decor for this year’s Storybook Cottage Christmas theme. I’ll give you a small hint…
These factors, coupled with the planning preparation still needed for our Thanksgiving feast, mean that this will be a very busy week as it probably is for you too. So here is some fabulous inspiration that may help.

Of course, the day after Thanksgiving is the big shopping day. If you would like some handcrafted gift ideas I would love for you to visit the Decor To Adore holiday shop.
Have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday!

Sounds like you are super busy this week for sure. I wish you and your family the most Blessed Thanksgiving.
Oh Laura, it will be so lovely! I adore the paperwhite idea for the party favors. They’re so elegant and simple and just lovely. And the centerpieces are grand! Can’t wait to see your storybook cottage decor!
Laura,
Where to begin? How exciting your son’s band is performing at the Thanksgiving Day parade. Is it the Macy’s parade in NYC? Your table decorations for the Cowgirl Museum induction are beautiful, and you are so thoughtful to give each person a planted narcissus. Your Christmas entry is stunning, reminds me of Williamsburg Christmas decorations. Thanks for all the inspiring photos. Our Thanksgiving is very low key this year since I am working hard to get everything ready for my Christmas shop and for the annual Ornament Exchange party at my house two days before the shop opens.
Happy Thanksgiving. When I count my blessings, you are among the many friends for whom I give thanks.

Ooh, I love Williamsburg Christmas! And your favors for the luncheon are very nice. Enjoy your busy week and Happy Thanksgiving, Laura.
You did an amazing job on that table for the induction, absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the addition of the amaryllis boxes, just brilliant! Have a very happy Thanksgiving!
Great inspiration. Love all of the photographs and your great marketing idea for the Cowgirl Hall of Fame!
Wonderful inspirations. I have to say at this old house the inspiration mostly happens in the oven and on the cooktop. I have a few Thanksgiving decorations but those mostly end up on the table decor. A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours dear Laura!
I love the boxes planted with paperwhites. A very appreciated gift I’m sure.
I couldn’t get the pin button to work on your Thanksgiving table. Love your centerpiece. I will try again later.
Exciting that your son’s band will be in the parade. That’s quite an honor.
