Hi everyone! I wanted to share my very simple Thanksgiving table this year...using all things I have used before.
I filled the box with vanilla-strawberry hydrangeas, white painted pumpkins, candles and pinecones.
I used the same turkey plates I always use...Queen's Myott Thanksgiving by Churchill. I love these especially for the soft, muted colors. I am using a Mikasa "Italian Countryside" dinner plate and a silver charger.
This year I chose to add a coral/pink napkin along with the creamy taffeta napkin.
I always love the 1893 Wallace "Louvre" sterling flatware.
Durand Cristal D'Arque Longchamp crystal glassware...
I really wanted to add the bread plates, but there was just not enough room.
I usually have this table done sooner, but I have been so busy on other projects that the table was a mess covered in sheet music, glitter, glue and cardboard until a few hours ago. I made three billy goat costumes and an adorable troll costume for Cristian's first grade play which was last night, and I have been trying to get a head start on Christmas projects so I can get everything up by the weekend. Before that, though, I will host Thanksgiving lunch here with my family, and we always have a friend of my mom's come to share with us. He gave me a beautiful turkey platter last year I cannot wait to use.
Thanks so very much for stopping by, and please stop by my facebook page just to chat.
I am truly thankful for each and every one of you who follow, leave comments and are encouragers. I wish each of you a beautiful Thanksgiving:-)

ReplyDeletecan't wait to hear your "oh holy night!"
one time i was singing that (25 years
ago) and when i hit the high note, i
felt like an angel came alongside to
sing with me. when i get to heaven,
i'm going to ask around to see who
that was.
Anita, what a perfect blend of rustic and elegance you've created for your Thanksgiving table! I love the natural elements and candles going across the middle with all the crystal and silver. Your flatware is like a dream! It's so pretty with incredible detail, and I love the turkey plates, too. Enjoy your dinner and have fun with the video tonight!!

Anita, I love your table, and the big box centerpiece is so great filled with the bounty of the season. I have some of the turkey plates, just bough them this year -- love them too. I also love your Wallace flatware. I would like to see the costumes that you made! You have been a busy bee and you set a lovely table. A woman in my church used to always sing that around Christmas. Good luck on your recording; I am sure it will be great. Joni
