Have a Restful & Relaxing Weekend!

My husband and I had the wonderful opportunity of hosting our very first Thanksgiving in our new home. It was such a treat!

To share the holiday in true blogging style, I thought I’d leave you with a snapshot of our table yesterday… all inspired by this fun little brown and orange remnant from the local fabric shop.

The orange and brown solid burlap fabrics (from Ikea) made the perfect complimentary runner — no need to sew, the unraveling edges looked great as is. White milk glass bud vases from around the house made the perfect taper candle holders.

Now off to a sunny San Diego holiday with out-of-town family and friends! Have a restful and relaxing four day weekend.

Our Friday Guest Blog Interview Series will be back next week! Drumroll… I’ll put myself in the hot seat to formally introduce the face behind Pepper by sharing my answers to the four PDB questions. I’m really looking forward to it!!
