I figured I would set my Thanksgiving table today. I have been desperate to decorate for Christmas and put up the tree. I always put the tree up the day after Thanksgiving. It's our tradition. But the decorating itch got to me today.

| Napkin rings came from Hobby Lobby last year. |
 |
| Platter was a garage sale find years ago. |
 |
| Goblets were a Goodwill find last year! |
 |
| Autumn Candle Sticks are from Partylite, many years ago. |
 |
| Table cloth is Better Homes and Gardens (Walmart) table runner from Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago. |
 |
| Greenery from Walmart with a couple of Autumn picks from Hobby Lobby. |
 |
| A gift for my Parent's 25th wedding anniversary from our Pastor and his wife. |
 |
| I have had the chargers forever. The gold dishes are also Better homes and Gardens. I just love that line at Walmart! |
 |
| The vintage relish tray was my Grandmothers. Wine glasses are my Mother's. I also don't remember where we got the gold rimmed, white dishes. My Mother bought a service for 16 years ago for the using at the holidays. |
 |
| The only things missing are draperies and a chandelier. We are renting right now, so not sure I want to put in the effort or money! | |

Later next week I will share my menu and some recipes. I loved putting together this table scape. It is helping me look forward to Thanksgiving. Otherwise it could be rather depressing,since it is the first one I will be separated from my family.
Blessings to you all!
Still Thankful for SO much.

It looks so beautiful, Paula, you never cease to amaze me!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so pretty! What great treasures you have from your mom and grandmother!I love how sparkly everything is, especially the runner, and the colors are so soft. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table. I love your green goblets - in fact, I have a set of 8, also bought at my favorite thrift store. They are Duratuff goblets, made by Libbey, & come in a handful of colors. I have 3 dark blue ones, & 2 clear ones also, but my favorites are the green, because they go with so many colors.
ReplyDeleteHi, Paula! Don't despair that you are sans draperies. We bought our home 6+ years ago and STILL have yet to commit to draperies. I just can't find anything that I absolutely love. I am sure that by the time I do decide on something that I will be ready to change the colors in the entire room!!! I am sorry, however, that this will be your first Thanksgiving away from family. I can only imagine how that must feel. I hope there is a way you will somehow be able to connect with them, whether it's with a phone call of Skype or something...I just hope the day is not a total bummer for you. If you can, try to think of it that your family members are there with you through the lovely treasures from your Mom and Grandmother that grace your table. My thoughts are with you. Meanwhile, you have set a very pretty table with lots of great elements!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you will not be with family this year. I can relate to that also sometimes...sigh.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteHopped over from Martys. Love your entire tablescape. Especially the turkey platter. We are on the same wave length girl. I too am SO in the mood to decorate for Christmas. I start the day after Thanksgiving. My kids give me such a hard time if I do any Christmas decor before. Thinking I might sneak and do my bedroom. I'll shut the door and they'll never know. lol! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Now following you.
I'll have to come back. Not showing followers right now.
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is just gorgeous. I love your grandmother's relish tray. I have not been able to find a table runner that pretty.
ReplyDeleteI am visiting from the Newbie Party and am now a follower.
A very beautiful, stunning tablescape! Love your combination of family pieces and great finds! Everything comes together so nicely I too am in the mood to decorate for Christmas! It is so exciting!

What a lovely table for Thanksgiving! I know how you feel missing family. This will be the first Thanksgiving without our oldest daughter(19), who moved back to California this past May.
ReplyDeleteStunning table for Thanksgiving! I love it that it's so elegant in a very subtle way with all the beautiful elements, specially the big white turkey platter. Have a nice week. FABBY
ReplyDeleteOh your table is simply gorgeous! I see right now that I could do better with layering. Thank you for showing how it's done. I understand the need to have some fun as you face a Thanksgiving that will be "different." Ours is going to be very different this year, too. Blessings to you this year...
