placecards for Thanksgiving dinner
Making these placecards has been a fun little project. A mixture of tradition and whimsy, high brow and seat-of-the-pants. Just the way I like to set a table – combining china with pottery, sterling with stainless (sorry, no sterling in these photos). Place settings that are pretty, but not predictable.
Best of all, no investment required. Leftover cardstock, wrapping paper and glossy pages of printed text from that annual report I’ve been meaning to read.
Crafting the style of the lettering, selecting the paper, cutting the designs. Although it’s nothing grand, it is a personal way of extending a welcoming hand and heart on a day rooted in reflection and gratitude.
Give thanks, share love, celebrate the day itself.
