Happy Monday, Friends! Today I'm excited to be joining the Thanksgiving Tablescape blog hop hosted by Chloe at Celebrate and Decorate! Since I'll be spending the holiday with my daughter's family, instead of a traditional Thanksgiving table, I've set a casual Thanksgiving tea in the garden celebrating my bounty of herbs...
Herbs are a staple in my Texas Hill Country garden. In addition to their culinary and aromatherapy benefits, they withstand the heat, are deer resistant, and I can enjoy most of them year-round.
Youngest Daughter gave me this pair of herb tea mugs several years ago.
Here's a closer peek of one of the mugs. Can you believe how well the fabric matches on these easy 3-step dish towel napkins?
Over the table I hung my upcycled plate sign.
Here, you can see how it looks hanging over the table. My white pitchers are not Rae Dunn pieces. Have you tried this thrifty tip to make your own?
These mini herb plates were a clearance find years ago from World Market.
Now to add some tasty treats--some with gold sugar crystals...
...and some with chocolate sprinkles!

Cecilia, this table is so true to who you are, and I love it! Your daughter obviously knows you well in gifting you the thoughtful teacups. Yes, what a perfect match the towel napkins are, and you had me fooled with the Rae Dunn look alikes. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteYou have been so blessed to find so many matching herb-y pieces! Love those tea cups from your daughter and yes the match the towel perfectly. Such a cozy and warm setting to enjoy a cup of tea with a friend. I love the pops of yellow, especially that adorable tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love your vintage tablecloth and outdoor patio furniture. Your herb-themed tablescape goes beautifully with these pieces. The herb plates and napkin are a match made in heaven. I love the uniqueness of these pieces and you have a beautiful way of putting them all together to bring out the beauty of all of the vintage pieces. You bring new life to pieces that might have been forgotten long ago. I love the yellow rooster which go so well with your tablecloth. So lovely to have it all outdoors. Happy Thanksgiving, Cecilia.
ReplyDeleteI love the herb theme! So perfect for your beautiful garden setting too. You did such a great job styling the table with all those pretty dishes!

Cecilia, what a sweet, intimate setting to count one's blessing this time of year! That includes enjoying time with a special friend, or my one and only. Sometimes, I need to be reminded to make an effort to set a special table for just the two of us. Your lovely tablescape reminded me to do so. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHerb-y Thanksgiving to you also! You carried out the theme beautifully and created a warm and cozy setting. Enjoy the holiday with your family and it's always fun to hop with you.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute table. The herb theme is wonderful and fresh. I love seeing a table in the gardens.
ReplyDeleteI love the herb theme that you have created, it is so fresh! Your vintage cloth and all of your Rae Dunn look-a likes are perfect for your tea table for two! It is always fun to blog hop with you! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable!! Love the yellow rooster!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
I love your herb and 'grateful' theme in the garden! Love your vintage tablecloth and sunny pop of yellow from your rooster and sunflowers! So happy to blog hop with you this week.
ReplyDeleteCecilia this is so fun! I think you know how much I love herbs too! We had our first frost which ended my 6 month love affair with bountiful basil, but the rosemary is going strong and should last unless we have a particularly bad winter with a lot of freezing. Your outdoor setting is just charming as are all your little dishes and vintage touches.
ReplyDeleteI hope you you have a blessed Thanksgiving with your family!
What a delightful spot to sip and be grateful! I love the Rae Dunn pieces, and the herbs are such an inviting touch, I can almost smell their fragrance! Sunflowers always bring a smile, lovely Cecillia!

Cecilia, having a lovely tea outdoors is a wonderful idea for Thanksgiving. Incorporating herbs into the menu and the decor is a wonderful idea. Have you ever been to the Fredericksburg Herb Farm? It’s one of my favorite places to eat and stroll. Love your hanging plate.
ReplyDeleteTis the season for being grateful and your lovely tea table for two is a great way to celebrate our blessings! I love anytime you can get in the out of doors for entertaining, and this is no exception! Thank you for joining in another hop!
ReplyDeleteCecilia, your tea party in the garden looks so inviting! I love the herb theme and your jadeite plates and herb tea cups. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your daughter!
ReplyDeleteCecilia, your tea table for two is adorable. It got me thinking how nice it would be to slip away for a quiet cup of tea and some goodies during the hectic holiday season. Those tea mugs with matching saucers are adorable. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise to see your tea time table for two created outside. I love the rooster, it gave me a giggle and the grateful plate in the bush makes a lovely and statement.Pinned and it's a pleasure to hop with you xo
ReplyDeleteYou've created such a beautiful and intimate table setting in your garden and the herb theme is so unique. I love the peaceful setting.
