Thanks so much for the love on our Day Date post yesterday, I love having Mr. SP on the blog! He’s always threatening asking to write his own post, so maybe one of these days I’ll set him free over here. Maybe. #nofilter
I’m hoping to get a jump on the holidays this year…not just because it makes me less stressed, but because I love the season so much! We saw a Christmas tree going up at the mall this weekend, and instead of being annoyed that they were starting so early, I figured, ‘Why not?!’
After all, people leave decor up for weeks after Christmas, simply because they enjoy it so much. So why not put it up early to enjoy longer, as well?! I actually really love Thanksgiving, and like to give the holiday it’s due, so I wait until the day after before pulling out our Christmas boxes.
But I was excited to get some seasonal decor going around here, so I went ahead and set our Thanksgiving Table…using mostly items from an unexpected source!
Dish Set | Burlap Runner | Wine Glass | Lantern | Pilar Candle Set | Linen Napkins | Burlap Ribbon
Would you believe almost everything on this table can be found at Walmart?! Last month at the BH&G Stylemaker Event (see that here), we used the cutest dishes in one of our classroom sessions…so I did what most nosy people do, I turned the plate over to find the source. I expected to find some high-end name I’d have to Google, and never be able to afford.
So I was so surprised to see they were the Better Homes & Gardens collection for Walmart. And excited, since that meant I could get my hands on a set without breaking the bank!
Turns out, they have several darling designs, along with a ton of other stylish pieces for the home.
Dining Room sources found here
I shared these brass lanterns in a recent Faves Under $50…I love the varying sizes clustered together, and will likely leave them as a year-round centerpiece on the Dining Room table. (See the full Dining Room and source list here.)
Sugarplum Style Tip: Would you also believe these are grocery store flowers?! You can take your own vase or vessel to your grocery store florist, choose the flowers you like, and have them arranged! Oftentimes, there’s no fee…just the cost of the flowers!
My original plan was to sprinkle small white pumpkins down the center, and in each bowl, but since there’s not a single white pumpkin left in my city, I made do with a few mini pinecones. Seriously, not a single pumpkin anywhere!?
Sugarplum Style Tip: Don’t worry about having complete, matching sets for each placesetting. Mixing it up gives the table dimension and makes it fun. I only have four wood ring chargers, so I alternated their placement. Same is true for the gold flatware and linen napkins. Solid white dishes are inexpensive and great for supplementing with other designs, too.

My mother-in-law and I have a pretty great arrangement when it comes to Thanksgiving…I set the table and bake a pie, and she cooks the bird! I’ll do anything to keep from handling raw poultry! #dirtybird I can’t wait for family to see this year’s table, and guess the source of the darling dishes and decor!

I may not start decorating for Christmas for a few more weeks, but nothing says I can’t start shopping! These great gift ideas are already on sale, and getting my wheels spinning. And don’t forget Walmart offers free shipping on all orders over $35. I love that it arrives in unmarked boxes, too (especially the toys!), so I’m better able to keep gifts a secret from the snoopers!
I’ve never seen Beats Wireless Headphones at this price, and the Kitchen Aid Mixer is $100 off! Even the gold flatware is under $35 for four placesettings!? But hurry, these prices go back up soon.
