~Dinner Under the Stars and Simple & Sweet Fridays #142~

Stan and I have been planning our
 Thanksgiving Dinner with the kids.
We will all be together this year for the first time in 5 years.
The weather in San Diego is pretty nice now, 70 degrees today.
I thought a holiday feast under the stars would be wonderful!
We always love eating outdoors.
  The fallen leaves in the garden 
 reminds us of the holidays.
I added some hydrangeas from the garden. 
 Some of our pomegranates added for the centerpiece.
I love using my mother's vintage glasses with a silver tray.
I found some paisley napkins and
added our antique silverware.
I just bought these beautiful hammered mugs at Pier 1.
 Gold etched grape wine glasses set the mood, for a fun dinner.
Our neighbors had given us this beautiful scarf 
from Germany last year.
The colors were perfect with the centerpiece.
Holiday crackers to celebrate after dinner.
I love having lots of candles everywhere on the table.
Now that it gets darker earlier, I set the table to make sure I had everything I needed for the tablescape.

I picked some berries from our
 pepper tree to accent the table.
With the stars out and the lights turned on, 
it will make for a very memorable dinner.
Looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving together.


Now, lets see what you've been working on for the holidays!!

    What a gorgeous Thanksgiving table you've set Jody! I love all the natural elements like the fruit and the flowers; so rustic and seasonal. The glow from the candles will surely make the autumn ambiance a memorable occasion. Thanks so much for hosting and have a lovely weekend!

    Thank you so much for featuring my Thanksgiving kitchen table. Your outdoor Thanksgiving table is gorgeous! I wish I could have mine outdoors but it is usually pretty cold here in Colorado on Thanksgiving. Have a great day!

    Jody,
    Thank you for featuring my Christmas Beautiful Ideas #2 Paperwhites. Seeing my photo in your features was so exciting.

    Your Thanksgiving table looks wonderful. While my sister lived in San Diego for several years, I was fortunate to experience that wonderful weather and eating outside all the time. Have a fantastic time with all of your family.

    Your table is stunning, Jody! The mere fact that it's outdoors is absolutely fabulous to me you know! 23 degrees here!! I simply love everything...all the bright golds and reds, the fruit and berries. The twinkle lights. I know your family is excited to be together after 5 years, the memories are in the making!

    Love and blessings to you and Stan this Thanksgiving!
