Fall is my favorite time to decorate even though we don’t have “real fall” here in Monterey County. Are you looking for inspiration for your fall table?
I usually host Thanksgiving for about 22-25 people. This year we got rid of our pool table (which was our back up table) so we are going to have to get creative. If the weather is nice, which it often is, we have plenty of outdoor space. As usual, I am looking to Pinterest for inspiration. Here are some of my tablescapes from years past and some of my new favorites.

Another fall tablescape from last year
and the year before
If you would like to see more of my past years tablescapes go here, here, and here
For more fall inspiration go to my Pinterest Boards here and here and here. Are you beginning to think about Thanksgiving? I can’t believe it is little more than a month away!
Fall is my favorite time of the year and this is such a great time for decorating. I love all of the tables you've shown. You've inspired me to start thinking about the holidays and my own table. They will be here in a blink of an eye. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love all your inspiration! I am working on my Thanksgiving tablescape this week, so thanks for sharing!!
Absolutely thanks for stopping by Claudia!!
Cindy,
Everyone of these is great inspiration! But to be honest my favorites are yours! I love them all.
That is so nice of you Elizabeth I enjoy doing them that is for sure!!
All of your tablescapes are stunning. I love them all. Yes, your right we will probably have a warm Thanksgiving.
I'm still looking for a place up your way….
Hugs,
Mary
Hi Mary
Thank you so much! I hope you find a place soon we will have to meet for lunch!
Beautiful inspiration for my favorite holiday of the year. I love all of your choices and as usual pinned away. Happy Fall!
Celia no one decorates a table like you!!
Cindy,
I love all of these and will definitely be pinning them to my inspiration board for fall tablescapes. Most of all I love the simplicity and use of natures best this time of year.
Thanks for sharing.
xo,

I do too Karen. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year.
LEAVE SOME ROOM FOR THE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!
No worries we always have WAY to much food!!
OMG it's all stunning. There is just so much more to a meal than just the food, it's the atmosphere, the company, the conversation, a table like these would certainly go a very long way to making everything perfect. I have to admit even every supper with the children, every evening, we do have flowers on the table and lots of antique silver candlesticks, somehow it just calms everyone and slows things down.
When my kids were growing up we all ate together as a family no matter how late it was. I am not sure there were always flowers though! I love reading about your life in France. Your blog is just lovely.
Cindy, wow…thank you for the beautiful, inspiring tablescapes! I love the wonderful colors of fall and decorating a gorgeous table brings so much to a festive occasion. Our family is so excited about spending Thanksgiving at your lovely home and I plan on bringing lots of decorations for our table! Though all of the tables are pretty, the pics you shared of your past thanksgiving tables are the best, xoxo Gail
Hi Gail
Please send me pictures of your decor!! I always love seeing what people create at the lake house! Thanks for your sweet comments.
Love them all so colorful and inviting!!
Thanks Karolyn I wish I could paint pumpkins like you!!!
You are so talented! And don't you love the one with the eggplant and carrots (THAT was supposed to be our luncheon idea– 🙂
OOPS!! We can still use it!!
OMG, those chairbacks with your initials !!!! Too too wonderful. The hanging-bucket is so snazzy but I could never get away with that (though I want to!), and the napkin details are great! I posted the entire thing to my TUMBLR so I could see it anytime & forever. Just beautiful !!
Thanks Marsh! I couldn't pull off the hanging bucket either but I love it!! Have a great week!!
Your tables are straight out of magazines Cindy! Yours are my fave and how I wish I had a demijohn to copy the first one! Thank you!
Thanks Vel…the demijohns are so readily available out here…I bet you can find them. They are imported from Hungary
