A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is one of my all time favorite books, so I thought we could play A Tale of Two Tables. One from 2016 and one from 2017. Both for Thanksgiving and set with my beloved Spode Woodland plates.
One with white pumpkins and autumnal flower arrangements. One with orange pumpkins and magnolia. One a little more formal. One a little more relaxed.
Do you like one more than the other? I’m trying to decide what to do this year. It will definitely be a variation on this theme.
As Dickens wrote in his opening paragraph, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,“…it’s almost as if he was describing some people’s Thanksgiving.
Hopefully, your gathering is only the best of times!
Either one is a good choice! I like Number 2 if i had to do a thanksgiving table!
Thank you, Maureen!!
Both are really lovely but i do prefer the orange pumpkiNs and magnolia.
Thank you! It seems that one is winning out! 🙂
Elizabeth, both tables are beautiful, will you be hosting Thanksgiving this year? I am going to go to my sisters, it will be the first Thanksgiving without my beloved husband, so the holidays this year will be very low keyed for our family. wishing you and your beautiful family a very happy thanksgiving.
Cindy,
I’m sure this will be an emotional Thanksgiving without your sweet husband. I will be thinking about you.
I am actually not hosting because I will be away the 4 days prior. My inlaws will be here to stay with my boys, so we agreed we would go out this year.
So…a year of new traditions for both of us.
