We moved into our current home September of 2018 and we were so thankful for all the help we had from our children. We moved from the big city to the country.
I’m joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for a weekly blog carnival called No Place Like Home. Here’s an explanation of what it involves…
So, I will get the party rolling on Monday, November 23. Like other years, everything pertaining to Home is welcome… Cooking and baking, recipes, antiquing, arts and crafts, crocheting/knitting, quilting/sewing, collections, floral arranging, home decor, homemaking tips, hospitality, refinishing furniture, tea time, tablescapes, thrift shopping, etc….Maybe there’s a new baby in the family or you have a new fur baby you would like to introduce us to. They are welcome too! Anything and everything which makes your HOME more enjoyable to come HOME to, for your family, your friends, and yourself.
So on this first Monday of the party I’m going to share a few Thanksgiving tables from the past. Our Canadian neighbors celebrated Thanksgiving several weeks ago. This is Thanksgiving week in the United States. Thanksgiving day is Thursday November 26th. I won’t be hosting Thanksgiving at our Country Bungalow this year but we will be celebrating with family. The following tables are from our previous home.
Thanksgiving 2012
Thanksgiving 2013
Thanksgiving 2015
Not exactly sure what year the table collage above is from but I know it’s in our Kenmore home and not our current home.
Thanksgiving 2019 and our Grandson’s first Thanksgiving.
And our granddaughter is a pro already with putting the marshmallows on top of the candied yams!
The turkey at our Country bungalow 2019.
The First Thanksgiving 1621~Historical America, Homer Laughlin China Co., Made in U.S.A. I found this platter at a thrift store.
Thank you to Sandi for hosting No Place Like Home.
For those of you who live in the U.S.A. what are your plans for Thanksgiving? It will look a lot different for many of us but it can still be filled with gratitude, love and joy.

This is the season of Thankfulness, I call it. Thank you for mentioning it and having it present at all times, Ellen !
Your table is beautiful. I love the gray transferware style plates and chargers to match.
Your family is lovely and I see that cutie working away for Thanksgiving too ! Lol We had a anticipated Thanksgiving with my daughter, her hubby and two little grands because this week they’re going back to Spain where they live. Sad.
Wishing you a great day of Thanks.

Hi Fabby, Thank you for stopping by today and leaving your sweet comment. May your kids and grands have a safe trip back to Spain. I’m sure it’s hard when they have to go home again…
Very good to know that you will be with your family this Thanksgiving. This year is “my turn” and I’m taking it. 😁 Many blessings this Thanksgiving week.

Hi Ellen! What a wonderful post. Your tablescapes are perfect for a Thanksgiving feast! And oh my word, you won me over with the bottom of that adorable baby grandson of yours. How CUTE!!!
Your Home M first Thanksgiving platter is perfect too. We truly do have much to give thanks to the Lord our God for in our lives. Staying focusing on that is everything.

We moved into our new home that same year, just a month before you did. : )
All your Thanksgiving tables are beautiful.
Nothing special here at our house, just Ken and I as usual. But we are happy, healthy, and so very thankful.
Karen, those are good things to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Ken!
Hi Ellen,
I’m visiting from Sandi’s party. Like Sandi, I’m from north of the border, so I celebrated Thanksgiving last month.
Your Thanksgiving table settings look so elegant! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you so much, Margie!
