is crisp and the leaves are turning
lovely shades of crimson. This is
the season of gratitude, and we are
reminded to set a table for our loved
ones. Thanksgiving may very well be the fi nest
occasion to express our kindness and appreciation for
family members and friends. Whether you bring a circle of rel-
atives together or a plan a fabulous "Friendsgiving," you have
an extraordinary opportunity to bring simple
elegance and love to your dining room.

joyful ritual that takes little time. If you are wondering

ommend pairing natural elements with each place setting.
