Each year the table's look and theme is different and my<span style="font-size: x-large;"> family</span> and friends are so wonderfully <span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">appreciative</span>!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>his year my table will have a very different look. No bright orange, gourds or cany corn! I am using <span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">creamy whites</span>, warm browns and blue<span style="font-size: x-large;"> transferware</span>!  To ballance the elegent dishes natural and<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;"> organic</span> elements will be used. Lots of pine cones, <span style="font-size: x-large;">acorns </span>and white pumpkins will grace the table.<br /><br /><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">O</span>ne other element that is a must at our table this year is <span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">PLACE CARDS</span>. I want to <span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">separate </span>the boyfriends and girlfriends, the newlyweds and the same age clusters, at least for dinner. It is my goal to sit people who don't have daily contact together... and do this <span style="font-size: x-large;">creatively</span>!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span> LOVE to have little <span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">take-home gifts</span> for each guest at my tables. Last year each guest took home a sparkly blown glass acorn ornament attached to a bag of homemade Cashew Crunch. This year the "place cards" will be little gifts too.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqoP4UNj4w6fST8d1_PwVZS_hU2lvDpFXP6BJ_frmMiqDVwcSP709Di4Me8UE0VD5QIDgEHN9I1xC42LaPvU_A8cufW1iagBa71UOTaWPK4pCqn89go4WNy4efb4Jw-G2d3TLXxBLf5zE/s1600/Copy+of+DSC00206.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqoP4UNj4w6fST8d1_PwVZS_hU2lvDpFXP6BJ_frmMiqDVwcSP709Di4Me8UE0VD5QIDgEHN9I1xC42LaPvU_A8cufW1iagBa71UOTaWPK4pCqn89go4WNy4efb4Jw-G2d3TLXxBLf5zE/s640/Copy+of+DSC00206.JPG" width="600" /></a></div><div align="center"></div><br /><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black;">P<span style="font-size: small;">lacecards made from </span></span>little picture frames</span> with sepia toned (to go with the color scheme) <span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">baby pictures</span> of each guest will show them where they will sit. Embellished with <span style="font-size: x-large;">gossamer </span>ribbon and touches from <span style="font-size: x-large;">nature</span>, they display each person's<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;"> baby face</span> and name.  The frames can then be taken home and hung on the Christmas tree with an attached ribbon loop. I can just <span style="font-size: x-large;">imagine</span> my families faces when they see these!
