Tablescape Thursdays

This is my first time posting a Tablescape and I thought I would share
my combination thanksgiving/birthday table. 



Started off with a new fall tablecloth that I found at Wal-Mart.


I loved the pattern.


I added a lace runner that was given to me a few years ago.


Then came the centerpiece I made a few weeks ago. 


Followed by some leaves and candles.


and of course, a few pumpkins to complete the look.



Then I added the dishes.


I kept it fairly simple with simple white and added color from the napkin.


I added a special birthday decoration for those of us who were celebrating birthdays.


And used pumpkins with our names written on them for name places.


And a decoration hanging from the fan for fun :)


It was time to light the candles and set the mood.



Candles always make things prettier.


I hope you enjoyed my first tablescape, thanksgiving with a splash of birthday.  I'm participating in Tablescape Thursdays at Between Naps on the Porch.  Go check it out to see some amazing tablescapes.
