Odds and Ends

Remember this post about recovering my loveseat? Well, I finally picked a fabric and the loveseat is being recovered. Will post photos when it's finished.

Also, I've been gathering all of my goodies to set my Thanksgiving table and I'll post pictures of that next week as well.

My inspiration for the table:

Planning for Thanksgiving

I know - it's not even Halloween yet and I'm writing about Thanksgiving. But I'm a planner and planning makes me feel happy - and in control (false sense of it). I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year and am thinking about how to set the table. There are several schools of thought on setting holiday tables. Some folks like a very themey table, others pull out all of their best china,crystal and silver and still others go with a more muted holiday table. Which do you prefer?
