It seems as though my Thanksgiving celebration
gets smaller and smaller every year. It has gone from a table of 14 down to
this year‘s table for two. But no matter how many people I serve, I want that
table to be special, and the food to be good.
This table for two out in the conservatory is where I enjoy most of my meals.
It’s cozy, light and bright, and I am surrounded by all of my plants. It makes
me happy just being in this room.
The table covering is a simple chocolate
brown table round. I chose tin chargers to
complement the rustic, wicker turkeys flanking either side of the place setting
that have tin heads and tail feathers.
The fall garland and iron candle holders are from a
local gift shop. I interwove illuminated maple leaves among them that you can
find
here.
The dinnerware is by Johnson Brothers, in the “His
Majesty” pattern, something I have been
collecting for years.
I like to start my meal with potato leek soup, it has become a bit of a
tradition over the years, and I enjoy serving it in this turkey tureen. The lid
keeps the soup warm throughout the meal.
The colorful turkey coffee mug is a sentimental favorite of mine. This came
from Ladue Florist, a lovely local florist and gift shop that my mother and I
used to frequent. She bought me 12 of these about 20 years ago and I have loved
them ever since.
The coupe
glass is new this year. These come beautifully
boxed in a set of four, and I find that I use them not only for champagne and
wine, but martinis as well.
The plaid napkins I’ve had for years, they came
from Pottery Barn. The flatware is
Mikasa
‘Opulent’
hammered flatware,
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

DeleteBeautiful Pattie, and I am crazy about the turkey mugs! The rich brown tablecloth is perfect with your plate stack and the centerpiece is so pretty, especially at night with the lights and candles. I wish you a very blessed Thanksgiving~

Those turkey mugs have been a favorite of mine since 1994. I had no idea that I’ve had those for 30 years.
DeleteI love your table for two. The Johnson Brothers dishes are among my favorite. Wow, the turkey mugs are stunning. Are they Fitz and Floyd? Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThe turkey mugs say “Omnibus 1994” on the bottom of them. I think that’s a division of Fitz and Floyd.
DeleteYour table setting is beautiful and I love how you ended the post:whether you are hosting a crowd, or dining on your own, make it special. Happy Thanksgiving blogging friend!!
