GATHER BEAUTIFULLY // A STICKS + STONES THANKSGIVING INSPIRATION

Bringing you a little fall inspiration today! One of my all-time favorite things to do is create a table setting and atmosphere for a gathering. I wanted to pull one together that was simple, affordable and so easy for anyone to accomplish. The main thing is becoming a good collector and forager. I have a tendency to collect sticks where ever I go. It has been a habit of mine for years now and recently become a bit of an obsession. The best place to find the most authentic ones is by the sea, a river or forest. I love wood that has been aged by the sun and especially the sea. Once you have collected a good amount for a rainy day you basically have the base to many great table settings.

With this table, I focused on using all things that were from the earth. The base is branches and stones I have collected from the desert. I then added a bit of thyme and a few pale small pumpkins to add the fall season into the mix. I believe in making something special for each place setting. A sort of gift for the lucky dinner guest. I simply purchased bunches of fresh thyme, sage and rosemary and assembled small bouquets. You can then use the rest in the big thanksgiving meal you will be soon preparing.
