Thanksgiving Tablescape “on a budget”
Hi beautiful friends! I am so excited to share with you my Thanksgiving tablescape, AND its budget friendly! I’ve teamed up with some of my favorite bloggers and they too have shared their tablescapes as well. I’ve listed a direct link to each at the bottom of this post.

Chalkboard Fridge
Do you adore cooking?!? I do! Do you have children? I do!! Ok so, this is why I chalkboard painted my refrigerator. It keeps my daughter busy while I prepare our meals.
