Here is our Thanksgiving table this year.
The centerpiece is very simple - just a floral centerpiece that I've had for years, and a couple of faux pumpkins from the craft store.
The place settings are a gold jacquard placemat from Kohls a few years ago, a gold charger from Michaels, and my grandmother's dishes. The water glass was from Target a couple years ago, and the wine stems are from Pier 1 a couple years ago. Both of the glasses have a very soft golden color to them, which matches nicely all the decor in our home.
I haven't put out the flatware yet because, first, I only have one set to choose from and we use it every day, and two, it is silver and doesn't really match the rest of the decor. I guess I'm still an amateur at this!
My husband, son, daughter and I will be having a quiet Thanksgiving dinner, with warm thoughts and well wishes winging across the country to the rest of our extended family.
Wishing all of you who celebrate a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

Hi Jenny, I am so happy to meet you! I love your Homer dishes, and I have the same napkin rings which I use all the time! They always seem to fit! I see that you have many posts about Christmas decor, and I am an elf in disguise (according to my hubby), so I will follow you and hope you will come to visit me and follow if you like what you see! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Linda
ReplyDeleteHats off to you for setting a very inviting table, Jenny! I have been intimidated in the past with the wonder of others' tables. And then a good soul wrote to tell me to be my own critic--and to do what brings ME pleasure. You are doing that. Just keep on doing what brings you joy! Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteJenny, don't be intimidated! Your room is just gorgeous and your furniture is amazing. Just have fun. We all have to begin somewhere. It gets more fun and I am glad you are joining in on the fun! Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving...your table looks lovely and you have such a large living room - I think our family of 20 could fit in their nicely (so, can we come!!???)
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that when you put food on the table, it will be the star of the table....as it should be! Nice tablescaping!
ReplyDeleteI love the elegant simplicity of your table. Your centerpiece is lovely.
