This Thanksgiving will be the first time that my husband and I will be away from the family. My brother-in-law will be in Chicago to visit, but we'll be without the rest of the fam. It will also be the first Thanksgiving dinner that I will be cooking, and I couldn't be more excited. It'll be a small feast for 4 people, but that's probably all I can handle for my first try. I might have to pick up some of those cute "gobble" plates with the little turkeys to accent the table. Have you ever cooked your own Thanksgiving or holiday feast?

Currently Loving... Thanksgiving Tables
Over the weekend, my friend and I stopped in West Elm to check out some goodies for her new place. Believe it or not, it was the first time I had ever been inside a West Elm store -- I was in Heaven! As soon as we walked in, before us stood a gorgeous table staged for a Thanksgiving feast. The dishes, the colors, the styling -- all perfect. I wanted to take the entire table home with me. While I could kick myself for not snapping a few pics of the table settings, these images from their site will suffice:

I love Thanksgiving and West Elm. You should make your first Thanksgiving away special by making some new dishes. (And getting THOSE west elm dishes!)
Jen you are going to have a blast cooking!!!! We dont have family in Houston, so it's just us two, but I still do the entire meal because I just love cooking for Thanksgiving. Actually, I was in Chicago the October before my first Thanksgiving and I got my table settings from Crate and Barrel on the Millenium Mile (is that what it's called?) I can't wait to see your Thanksgiving, please take tons of pictures!
We've had a few of those Thanksgiving's as well, and I must say they are really nice, quiet, and enjoyable! I love all of these pieces :) xx
Love that wishbone plate! How fun?
I absolutely LOVE those glasses... and pretty much everything else about those pictures! Good luck with your first Thanksgiving... I'm sure it will turn out GREAT!
