Do you start your Thanksgivings day with a parade? Not sure we watch the whole thing, but the Macy's Thanksgivings Day parade is certainly on in our house. So I'd thought I'd share some past tables with you today. I hope you enjoy the parade route... see you on the other side! The title and date are clickable links!
I totally love the vintage, handmade linen tablecloth. The color on the table comes from the fruit on the pumpkin and the few oak leaves. Rich silver and crystal take this casual table up a notch!
This was our table in 2010. It's full of sentimental pieces. Copper chargers from Bernina and Chicago. Fabric for the tablecloth picked up on my travels, Silver from my grandmother, napkins from my mother.

The copper theme is further carried out with the large copper basin used for the centerpiece. Inserting fall leaves makes for a great arrangement filler usually for free.

Pheasant feather placemats over a linen tablecloth give the table a very rustic feel. I had won the placemats from the Twiggery.. Oh gosh they are just fabulous. Simple wooden plates, very simple white salad plates, monogrammed napkins and additional rustic accents make for a polished, casual table.

The very vintage centerpiece is a great piece to carry out the theme some more.

This would be another great Thanksgivings table. Tapestry placemats, gold chargers, white dishes, gold salads, always a classic combination.

The white in the flowers ties the white napkins to the table.

This year, we are dining on a linen tablecloth with Lenox china. So excited, it's new china. A new beginning.

May the good things of lifebe yours in abundance
not only at Thanksgiving
but throughout the coming year
So much inspiration to be found here. I drool over those copper chargers, and that primitive wood centerpiece makes my heart go pitterpat...and that old copper piece...I had one that I gave to my sister. What was I thinking? You're going to love your new holiday china. It's one of my favorite patterns....and on my list for "someday". Happy

Some of these are from "way back" when I first "met" you. It's so cool to revisit that!!! All classic tables that are as current now as they were then with all the gorgeous embellishments. Happy Thanksgiving!

ReplyDeleteYou always do such beautiful tables! I really loved last years, with the pretty white tablecloth and pumpkin, it was so elegant. I can't wait to see more of this years table. The nut trees look really interesting! Happy Thanksgiving!
