Reach for a magazine. Debbie from Debbiedoo’s Blogging and Blabbing is hosting a copy cat party. I never want to miss a good party. Here’s what I did:
From the magazine Celebrate by Phyllis Hoffman
A tablescape for Thanksgiving. I know it’s early, but I had the stuff, what can I say!
When I look through magazines, I’m always looking for fresh ideas. I try to notice things that look similar to what I already have.
This lantern is several years old, from Ikea. I’ve used it for every season. It’s a staple item around here.
Even though the magazine used real flowers, I think the fake ones look fine.
I found the menu through Google, and printed it on scrap book paper.
The wine glass label is just one of the leaves plucked off the faux arrangement. You could use colored paper or a real leaf.

I will be sharing at these fun parties!

Sandy says
Oh my! Yours looks just like the magazine! You did fantastic, it just amazes me the talent all you girls possess. I thought that candle holder was from Ikea and I love all of their stuff! Your flowers looks real and who cares if they are fake or not, they look real and they are pretty so that’s all that matters.
Thank you so much for leaving a comment on my Key Lime Cupcakes!
Have a beautiful rest of the week!
Rosemary says
Debbie, I love it. So beautiful and festive. Nice job.
Ann says
Really pretty post. Love that you used the leaves as place cards. I have a few lanterns too that I move around all the time. Happy Fall!
Dining Delight says
I like yours better than the magazine! Your Ikea lantern is wonderful, love the contrast of the black with the vibrant flowers. The burlap runner adds a wonderful rustic look to it. Would love to be sipping wine from a glass with my name on the leaf!

Veronica says
That is so cool and I adore the colours! I prefer yours as I love the texture of the cloth and it makes the whole thing pop that much more!
Veronica
Pamela says
Simply fabulous!!
Nellie's Cozy Place says
I actually liked your arrangement better! Don’t know what it was but it just seemed brighter and more
eye appealing for some reason, course, they are both great!! Maybe it is because it had more yellow,
cause I do love yellow………….
Anyway, great job
Blessings for a wonderful Fall,
Nellie
VICKIE says
I like your table better!! I love the burlap runner too.

I like all the individual parts of the whole, and I love the look of the whole things put together. I am definitely doing a copy cat of the leaf names on the wine stem. Perfect, simple, and pretty.

Stunning!! I love the leaf charm for your name card!! You did a wonderful job recreating that tablescape!! Happy Fall
Honey says
You are a terrific copy-catter! The table is gorgeous!
