What’s the problem with setting a beautiful table for Shabbos?” I remember questioning a friend who claimed I was overdoing my Shabbos tablescapes. “If you make your table so nice every week, what will you do when you want something special for a simcha or for yom tov?”
Firstly, I don’t know of extravagant Shabbos preparations ever being “too much”. There’s no such concept of “overdoing” kavod Shabbos! I was raised that when it comes to honoring the Shabbos Queen, the more the merrier. Secondly and practically speaking, I’ve been doing this for years and I don’t struggle with running dry. Creativity
is endless. Hashem’s creative gift is fascinating. Let’s explore some of the endless and magical creative possibilities with you. To change up the look of your regular table setting style, you can, of course, keep on buying new tablecloths and trendy dishes, but there are so many wonderful ways to decorate a table on a budget.
