Vintage Inspiration #114 Almost Thanksgiving

Hi Everyone,
There's more inspiration over here at Vintage Inspiration than a stack of magazines! I know you all are getting ready for that special day and table. Preparing lists and shopping and cleaning, but just in case you don't have your tablescape thought out completely, I want to share one that's perfect for your vintage inspired table. 

Jennifer from Town and Country Living
outdoes herself with this wonderful vintage 
Letting her memories of past Thanksgivings guide her,
she uses family pieces to make this a very special Holiday table.







Her lovely china and crystal are balanced just perfectly with the vintage oak drawer, layered with burlap and pumpkins. So easy and just the right touch!


Jennifer has lot's of wonderful photos to inspire you,
hope you'll run by for a visit.

And more Thanksgiving Inspiration...

from Debbie at Confessions of a Plate Addict
Debbie has tons of great ideas on her blog,
be sure and check them out!





Sharon from Sharon's Wannabe Cottage 
is busy making beautiful Christmas pillows.
You'll want to see that wonderful chair, too.



And saving the most fun for last is Carlene from Organized Clutter,
 who created a look alike snowman from one she had seen on a post I did 
(just adorable Carlene!!!)

Thanks gals, be sure and grab a featured at button on the sidebar!



Hope you'll join in for the party.
 Anything vintage, vintage inspired; new, old, or in between! 
Please have a link back to Common Ground 
within your post to be featured.

and while you're at it please check out my fave Friday Party Gals.






 And if you've been missing a place to hang out your whites on Wednesday, then be sure and come by Timewashed each Wednesday and join the party. I know you'll feel right at home.




If you haven't entered the Give Away with

I'll be starting the party early next week on Wednesday instead of Thursday. I'll remind everyone next week; that way we still have time to party AND cook that turkey!  Hope you have a great weekend!

Top Three at Vintage Inspiration

Hey folks, here are the top three visited links from last week's Vintage Inspiration, each of them a "tour" of sorts. If you haven't visited yet, you'll love the posts. Aimee of It's Overflowing was fortunate to have Jennifer of The Old Painted Cottage do a guest post tour of her own wonderful cottage. Hope you enjoy!
