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.
