Comfort Food Recipes & Creating Thanksgiving Table Decor on a Serious Budget

[@debbiefletcher4781]

I love what you said. “Have a heart of celebration for others.” I too believe it’s important to celebrate Thankfulness as uniquely as each of our individual families are. God placed us in our families for such a time as this…..Celebrate the gift of each other. ❤

[@GraceInMySpace]

Absolutely!

Simply beautiful! I appreciate you addressing "normal." It's sad that our society has been reduced to such insecurity that we can't celebrate our differences. How sad that must make the heart of God. Kudos to you!

I hope it encourages someone!❤️

Looks beautiful. I love your perspective to cheer on others & embrace that we all might do it different but one isn't right or wrong.......they are all beautiful.

Thank you, thank you for doing fall videos. I am not ready to have Christmas videos before October is even over. I like to enjoy the fall season! Cannot wait to try the recipe. Looks great! I would love it if you did a house plant update sometime. I have noticed some of your plants around your house that were featured in your past house plant video. Would love to know which plants have survived the move.😊

[@GraceInMySpace]

I hear you about savoring the fall season! Thanks for the great suggestion.

[@barbb.7028]

I really like using nature in my decor when I can so I loved that you took the beautiful Michigan branches to decorate your table. I'm happy that you can start to enjoy your home after all of the mess and hard work. Thanks for sharing your recipes. Also, How wonderful that you could meet with your you tube friends in Nebraska.

[@GraceInMySpace]

It was so special to get together with those amazing friends!

I had turkeys like you bought about 30 years ago. They were donated many, many years ago. Very nostalgic.

[@GraceInMySpace]

That’s such a fun memory!

[@IreneJones-cl8qr]

Oh the stew looked so good! I enjoyed your relaxed approach to the table. I host our (Canadian) Thanksgiving, average is 25 people, held in a heated barn. I bought “catering”dishes, plain white, and mugs. I only prepare the turkeys and gravy but setup still takes my hubby and myself a few days, pacing ourselves. Lots of lists, that is my style. Ours is a coordinated potluck, so people offer what they will bring. Then a hayride to finish it off. And if I provided paper plates (as I have in the past), no one bats an eye. They just say thank you for the gathering, which is the important part. I find the more relaxed meals are much more fun.

[@GraceInMySpace]

That sounds like an amazing time together!

[@taliahbyers5622]

What a beautiful video - gorgeous footage, comfortable atmosphere, lovely table scape, delicious looking food, and sweet as well as helpful thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to make it for us. The day after seeing your thrifted turkeys I saw the same big one at my friend's house. I can guarantee she didn't spend $89 on it! They must have been easier to come by sometime in the past.

[@GraceInMySpace]

It's amazing how thrifted items can bring so much charm to a tablescape! So glad you enjoyed it.

[@mariareyesrosado425]

I was expecting that after your home remodeled, you were going to go all out on your table decor. Pleasantly surprised. Its unique and inexpensive love it!!! ❤

[@joannetrombley1317]

The colours on your branches are just perfect for your tablescape. Natural elements are the best in my opinion 😊 I am Canadian and I often wondered why I see so many Americans eating their daily meals on paper plates. It doesn't make sense to me personally for a number of reasons, the top two being a waste of money and a whole lotta garbage. Don't most people have dishwashers? But I do understand your point of making it ok to follow your own 'normal'. Thank you for sharing your decorating tips. Your new home is beautiful and the recipe looks delicious 😊

[@GraceInMySpace]

It was definitely a fun project and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@johannabennetts64]

I just loved the heart behind this video. Well done. I sure miss Michigan apple cider. It’s just not the same in Kansas 😆

[@GraceInMySpace]

I hear you on the Michigan apple cider! Nothing like it.

[@cherylspates5476]

Your view is just breathtaking!!!! Such color!! Your tablescape is beautiful too. My family would wonder what had happened to me if I used paper plates. I don’t use my China much so I love setting a pretty table for Thanksgiving. I don’t see a thing wrong with using paper plates but I just prefer my pretties. Our food will be the tablescape so we can gorge unhindered!🤣🤣🤣

[@GraceInMySpace]

I love a good tablescape too! It makes the meal even more special. I’m sure your family appreciates all those special touches you add.

[@cherylspates5476]

@@GraceInMySpace surprisingly they do which makes it worth every bit of effort! The funny thing is we are very much country folks!

I bought turkeys like that probably 25 years ago at a craft store. I don't think it was Hobby Lobby, I think it was before Hobby Lobby in our area. I am going to look in my basement to see if I still have them!

[@GraceInMySpace]

That’s so funny! I bet they’d be amazing to use for Thanksgiving this year!

[@patriciaboudreaux3370]

Sarah, you created a magnificent table scape , it looks like you spent a lot of money. The turkeys were a big deal back in the 90’s. I worked at Michael’s as a floral designer and I used them in many of my Thanksgiving designs.

The corn husk turkeys were a hit about 20 years ago. They are still cute but nobody in their right mind would pay $89. Some Etsy shop owners need to take a step back into reality. Your fall colors are beautiful! I live in the southern part of Texas and if it’s not green it is brown.

[@GraceInMySpace]

I agree, fall colors are so inspiring!

On my Wishlist for this Christmas is a Dutch Oven (Le Crueset, Lagostina, etc.)... I would like to make homemade small round loaves of bread... which size do you recommend? Which brand? and what special care - hand wash/dishwasher? Also would love a video on tall the different yeasts!

[@GraceInMySpace]

That’s so fun! I love helping people start into making bread. This is the Dutch oven I have. It’s much cheaper than the name brands but I feel does a fantastic job! amzlink.to/az06k4JjnPsP8

Your (telescope (oops, key swiping) ) tablescape is beautiful. You might want to double the paper plates if you do a buffet or the good will hit the floor on the way to the table. Just talking from experience. Only did paper plates once, never again.

[@GraceInMySpace]

I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks for the tip!

[@christykulwicki4323]

@@GraceInMySpace yep I used paper plates my first thanksgiving hosting because I didn’t have enough China or everyday plates. Big mistake. Never did that again in the last 45 years. I put everything in the dishwasher and my Lenox never has had a problem. Renting a carpet cleaner and all that work. We laugh about it now.
