"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder." - G.K. Chesterton
"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation." - Brian Tracy
I LOVE Thanksgiving so much. Any holiday that is focused on giving thanks or gratitude has to be a good one, right?
Well it was so much fun to particpate in The Blog Nog series that Liz over @ Say Yes To Hoboken is hosting...lots of great ideas that Liz constantly comes up with. I decided to put all of my budget friendly ideas to create a non traditional Thanksgiving table. If you want to see more about my dollar store crafts then head on over here.
Also a special thanks to Michelle for all of the photography work that she did. Michelle is not only a great photographer but a great friend. Can you believe the pictures were taken in my home when it was dark outside....that is right no natural light. All of the above pictures were either from her camera or from mine but all under her direction.
Well folks, I hope every single one who celebrates Thanksgiving has a wonderful holiday.

P.S. - What is the deal with "the storm of the decade" here in Utah? I was expecting to get snowed in or something.

OK seriously, how did I miss this table?? You are AMAZING! This is the coolest, most intersting table I've seen in a long time! I LOVE IT, love love love!!
Beautiful table!! i love the peacock feathers particularly. It's funny because i haven't really been enamoured by this napkin over at YoungHouseLove even though i love their design aesthetic - but you've swayed me on this colour scheme - i love love love it!
It looks delicious!
Found you via Young House Love's post today. Can I just tell you that I absolutely LOVE the Brian Tracy quote! Definitely words to live by!
I LOVE your site, and love what you're doing, and as long as it's ok, I am adding you to my blogroll!
for some reason, the link with my name did not work, so I thought I'd share it: www.DesignBuildLove.co
This table setting is truly divine!
I know it has been a while... but I MUST know where those blue glasses are from? I found 3 clear ones at marshals but I want more.. different colors would be fun! Let me know if you can... Thanks!! P.S. Beautiful table!
How did you do the circles?
Where did you find those placemats? I've been looking for some interesting straw ones.
Hi Chel, the place mats were a Goodwill find. If you would like to buy the ones I have I would be more than happy to sell them to you at the price I bought them for.
if interested shoot me an email.
christinabrian1 @ yahoo . com
please do share how to make those circles! WOW
came over to visit from Young House love. Very colorful table, love it! you have a pretty blog!
This is beautiful! I am decorating our nursery in a peacock them and would love to know where you got your napkin fabric, I am wanting to make my own bedding and love this pattern! Any advice you could give me on fabric would be great! Thanks
Just stumbled across this today, and I have to ask: where did you get your dishes, I am absolutely obsessed with the ones with the flowers and have been scouring the internet looking for them for hours with no luck.
Hi - I love these plates. Can you e-mail me where you found them? twentysomethingtransue@gmail.com.
Thanks! I found you at YHL!

Wow, I love the use of peacock feathers, they are popping up everywhere. I recently did a post about Christmas decorating with peacock feathers. They are beautiful!
That is one super cute table! I hope you don't mind, I posted a link on my Facebook. Very inspiring and unique.

This is gorgeous, such a great change from the usual color theme you see. I like it!
Christina, would you be willing to share the brand/maker of the plates in these photos? Please.
Thank you in advance.
