Thanksgiving was my mom's favorite holiday, she loved feeding people. She passed away 3 days before Thanksgiving when I was 18 so its very bittersweet for me, even at 52 I get emotional at this time. I try to do my best to honor her at Thanksgiving with my family. Thanks so much for this beautiful video, the table is warm and inviting yet elegant. Thank you Lisa for bringing your kind spirit to us ❤
Oh DeAnna, I’m so truly sorry. While we have different circumstances, I can totally relate and will tell you that I’m so emotional this year. Without her, everything is different - and I don’t want it to be! A thought happens and the next thing I know I’m sobbing uncontrollably at the most inopportune times. When I tell people what I’m experiencing - if they’ve lost their mom - they say they never get over it - and then they share what made her so special and we tear up together. There’s solace in this. Please tell me what made your mom so very special? I’d love to know because she made a beautiful and amazing daughter. Such a legacy. Hugs Xo 💝🩷💝🩷
@@lisaemeterio My mom loved helping people. My dad and I never knew when she was going to bring someone home who she had just met at a shop or restaurant . If they looked sad or troubled she would talk to them and bring them back to feed them, whatever she thought they needed. She also enjoyed having dinner parties, remember fondue and cheese balls, that was her. It's nice to share about her, I still miss her. Thank you Lisa ❤
No, I never got over mother’s passing either. I was 25 and she was 45, and now at my almost 76th birthday next month, I miss her terribly. But we still have our many blessings to be thankful for and I am confident I will be with her again. Hugs ❤@@lisaemeterio
Wow, thank you for sharing your amazing mom here - clearly she was an angel who walked the earth spreading light and love wherever she was. I pray God will fill you with supernatural joy and peace this holiday season. I’m doing alright thank you - just giving myself a year to really grieve. But I’m also learning that I will always miss her and that’s a big adjustment. But I pray for God to help me heal and he does. Blessings xo 🌷🩷
Reading the comments below, I believe most of your viewers appreciate your kind heart and sense of empathy. I also lost my mom many years ago and it's true: no matter how old you get; you'll always miss her. But going back to your beautiful table setting, I love how you mixed the dishes and the autumn, earthy colors. Great idea for making our own placemats! The seem to be getting smaller every time I buy new ones. Wishing you and your family a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, Gloria, for your kindness and wisdom - I very much appreciate both, delivered so thoughtfully ☺️. Tis true! Placemats seem to be shrinking while chargers and plates are getting larger. It’s very rewarding to solve things creatively! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 !
Lisa, your Tablescape is STUNNING!!!! 💜🤎💜🤎. I would have never thought of using Purple! WOW! It brings it to the next level of Luxury!!! 💜💜💜💜. Those Plates are GORGEOUS!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 What a neat idea of the placemats!! Look forward to seeing more of your videos! I'm all Caught up now! 😂
Bonjour Lisa! I so admire your impeccable taste for home decor!!! So classy and inviting! Thank you for sharing ! Merci 😊 from a loyal viewer from Québec!
Lisa, Thank you for the time and planning you put into giving such lovely, memory making, and practical tips to making a Thanksgiving celebration so enjoyable for those in attendance, and so importantly the host. I love your channel and look forward to every post.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I like the antique chargers and your tall candelabras. Your guests will be delighted with the ambiance you have created for them.
Hi Lisa, I love your aesthetic, not only in your home, but your beautiful outfits. You remind me of a modern day medieval princess! This was a pleasure to watch, and I love the unusual colour combination. It works! Have a wonderful thanksgiving ❤
Love the rustic runner with the dramatic black candelabras!!! What a focal point! The combination of gold, brown and purple is stunning, and unexpected. Turkeys and pumpkins and pheasants.. Oh my! And the pedestal dish with the dark grapes is the perfect nod to harvest and abundance, which to me is Thanksgiving. Blessed are those who will surround this table set with such love!
Sending love and best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Lisa. 🦃🍽🥂 You are brilliant about the placemats and the lightened napkins! I am in awe and amazed by your ingenuity! Such an inspiration....thank you! My mom had the teapot that went with your grandmother’s China. 💜 love the way you mixed it up! Your table scape is beyond abundant--just as Thanksgiving should be. Oh and by the way, thank you for recognizing not all of us are on comfortable terms when cooking a Turkey! You are a gem! Can’t wait for next time...until then, happy happy Thanksgiving! 💜🍽🥂🦃
Thank you dear Marla! Indeed the Turkey IS a scary endeavor - without having clear step-by-step instruction! I also just added Day-by-day steps for the chef that parcels out everything, so there is no major burden, especially on Thanksgiving Day! I believe much of my learning came from watching my sweet Mom struggle so much the Day Of. She approached cooking as a "day-of" event, which is nearly impossible with Thanksgiving. Time management became my holiday mantra years ago and it's never failed me lol! PS. I love that we have matching purple pieces! Have a most blessed, restful and joyful holiday! xo
Beautiful table setting. Such a sentimental time of year. I was hoping you’d give us inspiration for meal prep on Thanksgiving. I will study the turkey instructions too. Thanks Lisa for taking time for us. Thanksgiving blessings to you all. 🦃💕
Oh I so wanted to! Time factors into filming and I had to choose. 😩 God willing next year I’ll “show” the steps for carefree TG cooking. Then all the bases will be covered! But I couldn’t let it go so I wrote them in the description page. Showing is always more inspiring - I know. I’m the same way! Blessings 🩷
I make it *appear* easy by planning and giving myself plenty of time in advance to play around until I get it the way I like it. And I’ve practiced a lot! 😉
Thank you! It's a super fun DIY - and each mat comes out to a dollar or two. I didn't mention that they absorb little spills and stains and can be thrown away without any grief! :)
Hello. What a beautiful table setting. I also want to thank you for the beautiful advice that you gave me. I’m going to make this holiday season special for me and my daughter. It’s just me and her. But thankfully to your advice it will be special. Thank you Lisa. ❤
You must have known I was thinking of you and your daughter when I mentioned 2 at the table in this video! Thank you for sharing your heart with me! Blessings 🙏🏻😍💝
Yes I did and my heart ❤️ stopped for a split second. I felt so special at that moment. Thank you for taking the time to take me into consideration. God bless you and your beautiful family always.
I always learn something wonderful from your videos, a detail I haven’t thought of, or a inspired idea! I love your use of metallic, and I remember you saying, that they are your neutrals, what a game changer for me! All of the sudden, my decor made much more sense ❤ Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful ❤
What a beautiful Thanksgiving table!!! I have always loved Spode Woodlands/ I don't own it. I have Spode Blue Italian. My Thanksgiving table boasts with my Noritake Royal Orchard. What a lovely gift to give our family and friends, a thoughtfully set table!!! Thank you Lisa for sharing!!!
Love your channel. The table is beautiful. I always do a really nice table to distract from the fact my cooking is not that good lol ! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas
Hi Lisa, Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving ❣️ I have to say again I just love your style. I love your home. I love your videos. I wanted to say thank you for sharing Your ideas like I always say every time I see Your videos you so inspire me even more. I look forward to your videos. Can’t wait to see the next one. You are an Amazing woman and you have a Beautiful ideas🥰
Beautiful Table Lisa❤❤❤❤Looking forward to your Christmas videos ! Happy Thanksgiving! Blessings,Cindy CAN YOU PLEASE MESSAGE RUFFLE TABLECLOTH ! LOVE !
Hi Cindy, I wish I could - it’s about 15 years old and is a favorite. You might look on Etsy though. I find a lot there when I deep dive. I think, like Amazon, some shops pay to be sponsored, and some are “hidden”. I’d imagine someone out there in Etsy world is making them - maybe in time for Christmas. 🎁♥️
@@lisaemeterio Thanks Lisa,😀 Hey, I have tons of table clothes 🤣🤣 I really like to heavy ruffle ❤️ yes, Etsy has some too I know thanks for the response. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.❤️
Hi Deborah, thank you! I used a damp (with water) natural sponge and lightly blotted the paint until the desired result. The chargers I painted already had a blotchy patina effect, so I just added another dimension. I’ve searched the internet and I know that Jay manufactured them but they are nowhere to be found. I’d probably start with a plain bright gold charger and do a layer of champagne paint first and then the black bronze. 🩷
Very pretty and unexpected tablescape. I love your dresses! Do you have a link for the green linen dress you are wearing in this video? So very feminine.
Thank you. I do and will link here. I showed the alterations that were necessary on this particular dress in the Wardrobe Refresh vlog. Also, I literally took fabric scissors and cut off the peplum around the waist that was way too “costumie” for my taste. Other than that it’s a wonderfully made dress! Lastly, shopping on Etsy and purchasing clothing from other countries is a bit risky because in reality it’s not financially feasible to return things. This company does a great job answering questions though. Good Luck! 🩷

You should tie your hair back when setting the table. Your hair dragged on every plate. Beautiful table.
You are so right! It was a mock up - everything was washed and will be set properly before the party. Happy thanksgiving! 🦃
No room for the food
😝 the food is served buffet style on the island.
