Your table has definitely lived up to my expectations. Everything is so, so lovely!<br /><br />But, really, Marlis, I don't think I can handle your showing me yet another tablecloth to love! This one is fantastic! And the nut trees are just delightful!<br /><br />I didn't have time to put together my Thanksgiving tablescape, but I'll be posting it next week. I'm afraid I'm one of "those" that waits until the last minute to pull everything together.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family!

Two years ago I won 8 settings from Lenox in a Christmas giveaway and really leaned very heavily on getting these but ended up passing them up for the Butlers pantry because I had already started that collection. I think they are definitely appropriate for Thanksgiving as well as Christmas. Your setting is just beautiful with them and I'd bet my last dollar it is even more stunning in person.

I know the feeling,I keep telling myself I am not buying any more dishes because I have so much already but it is so hard to resist whenever I see a pretty one with a "good deal". But I already made a New Year's resolution of not buying any that we do not need in 2013. Your table is stunning as usual. Great job on the nut topiaries.
