Today I'm recycling a post I created for
2009 Thanksgiving Tablescape.
I hope to have new posts to share very soon.
We celebrate Thanksgiving with thankful
hearts for the bountiful blessings of our life.
Our table is set
awaiting the arrival of our guests.
Salad plates in
Olde Avesbury by Royal Crown Derby.
Dinner plates in
Palermo Brown by Richard Ginori.
Italian Pewter chargers by Cosi Tabellini and
Talisman enameled silver flatware by Christophe.
Crystal stems in
rich amber by Denby.
Antique sterling French napkin
rings collected through the years.
Some are monogramed
in beautiful scripts.
The heirloom napkins
were a gift from my mother-in-law.
Each have been monogramed by hand
and were stitched by my husband's grandmother.
The table cloth is by Yves Delorme in
shades of green and subdued teal blue.
My Tuesday Morning acorns have
been pulled into service as place card holders.
Fallen leaves from a Red Oak are inscribed
with each guest's name using a silver paint pen.
Small initialed treat boxes
are favors to be taken home.
Inside are
honey glazed Texas pecans.
The center piece is a single pillar
within a crystal hurricane lantern, a recent thrift find.
It is flanked on either side by small
white pumpkins, and all sits on a pewter tray.
Dinner will be served from the nearby sideboard
in white French porcelain dishes.
The antique silver and mother of pearl serving pieces
are all individual pieces that I've purchased piece by piece.
A simple glazed container holds a
bouquet of tulips, gerber daisies,
hypericum berries, and golden thryallis.
Red ware pottery, acorns,
squirrels, horn votives,
candles, an amber
glass turkey container,
vintage candy containers,
pumpkins, gourds, and more turkeys
set the mood for Thanksgiving.
After dinner. . .
dessert will be served
in the adjoining sun room.
A lemon cyprus topiary and
pumpkin shaped gourds
are the centerpiece.
are the centerpiece.
Coffee and dessert will be
served on Richard Ginori china.

Beautiful tablescape, Sarah! I love your dishes, haven't seen them in Blogland so far!! xo
ReplyDeleteI think it is fun to see old tablescapes. Some are before I started blogging and some it is just fun to see again! As I was looking through my blog book, I loved seeing my white one from last year and I hardly had any follower then, so I think I may have to repost it for fun! You always have such fun vignettes around the house in addition to your beautiful tables.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see that you are Ok. I have been thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Best wishes,
Natasha.

ReplyDeleteLoved this post the first time around but that didn't stop me from enjoying it all over again.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back in our world after all that gallivanting.
You must be breathless still!
This is beautiful Sarah. I do not recall seeing it the first time around, so I am happy I did now. What pretty dishes. I hope all is OK with you. See you soon.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Sarah, love your topiary centerpiece! Hope everything is going well for you...
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cindy
Sarah, it's always a real treat when you post! Nice to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteSarah, I'm so enjoying your 2009 Thanksgiving tablescape, especially since I missed it in 2009. I'm ooh-in and ahh-ing over your pewter pieces, and the monogrammed napkins. So pretty.

Glad to see you back. My blogging is so sporadic that I didn't suspect anything might be amiss with you - just not blogging for a time. Hope you and yours are well.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your posts. Hope to see more soon.
I do hope all is well..I know you are busy from your trip too:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tablescape as always, Sarah! Hope all of your distractions from blogging continue to be good ones!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteSarah, this is just beautiful! Love the salad plates and your napkin rings. I've never seen that pattern...it's gorgeous! I also love your centerpiece! I've been eyeing hurricanes this year. I think I have a small one tucked away somewhere. Everything is so warm, cozy and inviting--would love to dine here!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly set a fantastic table! Everything looks wonderful, beautifully displayed. I love your turkey platter..awesome. I have joined your followers list and invite you to join my followers list; as well,I hope you will grab a blog button. Hugs, Gayle

Oh, my gosh but those salad plates are beautiful!!!! I love plates with birds of just about any sort, and those are A-1!!! I'm so glad you re-posted this table because I did not "know" you back in 2009. I'm sorry to hear life is still dealing you Jokers. Here's hoping the Queen of Hearts has mercy on you and takes over the game real soon! :-) Take good care.
ReplyDeleteSarah, this is beautiful, and how wonderful that you have those gorgeous napkins, monogramed by your grandmother-in-law. What a treasure. I love that Redware pottery platter, and what a cute idea the little initialed boxes of pecans are for a take-home gift. laurie
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah!
