Hello friends, welcome! I’m finding it hard to believe that it’s that time of year again already… Canadian Thanksgiving is actually here (this weekend)!!! Today myself and some awesome Canadian blogging friends wanted to share some inspiration and show you some Thanksgiving tablescapes – Canadian style! Thank you Dannyelle from Life is a Party for hosting this fun Year of Feasting series! xo
Canadian Thanksgiving is on October 9th this year and we are hosting some of our family this coming weekend… before the hustle and bustle and the TONNES of fun actually happens, Bud and I wanted a quiet celebration. We decided to have a romantic Thanksgiving picnic, on our own, with our vintage truck and we’re taking you along (virtually).
First let me tell you a bit about this truck… this is a 1966 Chevrolet C20 – farm/work truck. We bought it to restore (along with our vintage trailer – stay tuned for that – one day – hopefully…) and use it primarily as a Vin’yet truck. Basically use it to go vintage picking, delivering client builds, lugging goods for a pop up shop here and there and for exploring the country roads like we love to do. These are the plans we have… one day this will all happen – fingers are tightly crossed. In the mean time we decided that taking it on a little picnic (even if it was just by our very own barn on our property) was a nice way to get into the Thanksgiving mood and spend some time in the truck – daydreaming and planning our future. Sigh.

I don’t even know what to say about this! But let me try. Haha. This is the sweetest Thanksgiving idea I have ever seen. I’m in love with it! Can you loan out the truck next year? And maybe your property too? (Because I’m not sure how this spread will look on my suburban street.) Your food looks delicious and it’s all so beautifully laid out. I want to munch on pickles and chips and fruit now. 😉 Gratitude for the simple things and for our daydreams. That is such a lovely, poignant line. Just the perfect one to capture the feeling of Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Bud and your family!
Thank you sweet friend! Maybe we can drive that truck up to your place and go for a picnic somewhere! xo
Laurie your picnic is gorgeous! I love it. The food looks amazing, and all the vintage touches too -like the pretty blanket. Now I want to come over for a picnic. 😉
Thanks! Come on over! xo
So Beautiful Laurie! I loved everything from the idea, to the styling, to the photography and your lovely voice I can hear coming through. And I want to go on a picnic with you now too. Amazing!
Awwww, you are so sweet, come on over and we’ll have a few laughs… and I pinky promise I won’t swear at you! 😉 xoox
This is a feast for the eyes!!!!
Loved every little detail, and I bet it was scrumptious too.
Happy Fall and almost Thanksgiving to you and Bud.
Thank you so much, Shannon! It was all so delish and too much fun! xo
Oh, I just love this!! The truck, the barn, the spread of food – all of it!! Perfect for a Thanksgiving outing.
Thank you Jennifer, we had such a great day, I was so relieved that the clouds blew right on by!
This is so beautiful! It looks like the perfect picnic. It’s so picturesque. Love charcuterie boards & yours looks super delicious!
Thank you, Lindsay! I am mad for charcuterie boards, my fave way to eat, besides breakfasts… 🙂
Oh my goodness! Everything looks sooo delicious and beautifully presented. I love how creative you got with your presentation. That charcuterie looks heavenly, too. And for what it’s worth: I hear you on the carbs/cheese thing… 😉
Thanks so much Sarah! Carbs and cheese lovers unite! 😉
What a sweet getaway! Love that truck!!
Oh my goodness! This is quite the spread (insert drooling emoji). Now that the weather’s cooled and it’s starting to feel more like fall, I’m appreciating these opportunities and moments outdoors even more. This all looks so beautiful and perfectly captures what Thanksgiving is about: appreciating all the little things in our lives.
