Thanksgiving Dinner 2016


Thanksgiving Dinner 2016

I trust each of you enjoyed a bountiful Thanksgiving.


As one can see from the serving buffet,

"the chef" prepared an amazing meal for our 

2016 Thanksgiving Dinner.

As is tradition in our home, 

we pardoned the turkey again this year.


Beef Tenderloin was the main dish,  

accompanied with many delicious sides.

~ Smoked Quail ~ Schnitzel Beans ~ Carrots w/ Fennel ~ 

~ Grilled Sweet Potatoes ~ Wild Rice w/ Brussel Sprouts ~

~ Fresh Baked Dinner Rolls ~

For Dessert ~ Apple and Pumpkin Pies


There were seven 

of us around the table.


A Cinderella pumpkin atop 

a grapevine and bittersweet wreath

served as the centerpiece.



Bethany Lowe placecards offered a

perfect excuse to use the silver placecard holders I

found at the Paris flea market several years ago.

Each a different woodland animal, 

these pieces of the past remind me of the autumn season.



I layered the 

table with neutral linens.


Vintage English bread boards were used

as chargers for each place setting.



Antique silver napkin rings collected from French markets held

  beautiful embroidered npkins from Williams Sonoma.



Once again I chose to use the beautiful dinner plates 

that were a gift from the sweet, generous 

Cherry Kay @ Entertaining Women.

Previous tables set with this gorgeous china

can be found here and here.

Crystal ~ Denby

Flatware ~ Christophe

Steak Knives ~ Laguiole


"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into 

enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, 

confusion into clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a 

home, a stranger into a friend."             ~~ Melody Beattie



I'm grateful for each of you,

my readers.
