Inspiration Board: Thanksgiving Nuts

After spending this weekend harvesting buckets of walnuts, I’m definitely starting to get geared up for Thanksgiving. It’s always fun to add a nutty touch to your Thanksgiving decor and recipes, and nut-themed decor is sure to get Thanksgiving guests thinking of their favorite part of the meal–the pecan pie for dessert! Here’s a few ideas:

I know, what could be less glamorous than a casserole carrier? That’s what I thought until I found this Casserole Carrier from Vonny Los Angeles, found via Hostess With the Mostess. With the cool colors and patterns, these casserole carriers are so cool! It’s a little late for Thanksgiving, but I know this will come in handy for upcoming holiday parties!

Might as well do it now so the paper is ready when you need to do your gift wrapping!

Take 2 Tuesday: Turkey Day

With almost a week until Thanksgiving, I find thoughts of decorations, food, and family fun for the night are all I am thinking about! To celebrate this upcoming holiday, today’s Take 2 Tuesday features the stars of the night; turkeys! I love the modern and pretty turkey on this Great Arrow Graphics Thanksgiving card, and think it matches perfectly with this photo of a stunning wild turkey. Hope your week leading up to the holiday is filled with fantastic anticipation!

I don’t know about you, but I’m already preparing for the big Thanksgiving dinner my family will host later this month. A huge focus on the food is always made, but oftentimes we forget about making the table look just as special. This year, I’m trying to remedy that, and will be using this Harvest Runner from EmersonMade for my inspiration. How pretty is it with the beautiful message of “Giving Thanks”?
