My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. I love to cook and my favorite foods are those served for Thanksgiving dinner. This year, yes I did it, I planned my Paris trip to be over Thanksgiving. With my trip less than two weeks away, my daughter has convinced me to have a pre-Thanksgiving dinner this next weekend. Before I leave. I am gathering my recipes for gluten-free dressings and pie crusts, but one thing is already done! My Thanksgiving table. . . thanks to this blog and my desire to share these fun projects with you all.
This year I was inspired to design my table using plum. Of course I created the paper mum post with this in mind, knowing I would add them to the place setting in some way. Here is the rundown on my table setting:
Craft Table Paper Cover: Dollar Tree ($1 for a roll of craft shipping paper)
Plum Napkins: World Market
Paper Mum Napkin Ring: Ellinée
Giving Thanks Placemat (though it is sitting on top of the plate): Ellinée
Plum Goblets: World Market
White Pumpkins Bakers: World Market
Leaf for Pumpkin: Ellinée
Wooden Coasters: Target
Murcury Glass Vase: Home Goods
Thankful Tree: Ellinée
Here is the printable template for the placemat, and you can find the paper mums here and the Thankful Tree here. One thing I did write on my Thankful Tree was the Ellinée blog community. Yes, I am thankful for everyone of you! ~ Lia
Here is the Floral Chic Thanksgiving design I prepared for our Elli shop that inspired my Thanksgiving table.

The thankful tree is a wonderful idea for a celebration for someone in recovery from cancer.
That is a wonderful idea, Diana. It touched my heart.
Hope your upcoming Paris trip will be a wonderful one for you. You are a truly generous, kind and lovely person and that’s is often reflected in your blog. We (your blog readers) are thankful to have you. Happy Thanksgiving in advance.
Ok. . . you just brought a little tear to my eyes, and a big happy to my heart. :-)
Love the plum goblets and napkins. So pretty and a nice change from the traditional. World Market is amazing isn’t it?
Thanks for sharing your beautiful table!
I had a lot of fun doing it. For some reason I am really drawn to plum right now. Yummm.
very touching. I absolutely adore your blog!
