In addition to my previous
table inspired by what I thought was the
only Thanksgiving song: “Over the River and Through the Woods” (As it turns
out, there are several others, though a bit more obscure: “We Gather Together”—a
17th-century Dutch hymn now a U.S. staple; “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come”—a
classic harvest hymn; “For the Beauty of the Earth”— a hymn of gratitude; and
even the playful children’s tune “Turkey in the Straw”), I now offer you a more
traditional Thanksgiving table because Thanksgiving is hands-down my favorite
holiday. I adore the crisp weather, the crackling fire in the fireplace, the
promise of delicious food and great company, all without the pressure of gift-giving..PNG)

This year’s table shines with newly acquired
treasures—starting with my absolute favorite: turkey-shaped appetizer plates by
Warren Kimble. I’m obsessed!
.PNG)
They’re layered over Amelie Versailles salad plates and my beloved Johnson
Brothers “His Majesty” turkey dinner plates,
which I’ve been collecting for nearly 30 years.

For a touch of sparkle, gold chargers sit
atop round rattan placemats.

Gold flatware—inherited from my mother—pairs
perfectly with new pumpkin-colored
cappuccino cups (already a year-round
obsession; orange pairs beautifully with summer greens, turquoises, and blues).

Amber water glasses complement battery-operated tea lights in amber votives, while unique autumn-toned wine glasses add warmth.
The lovely multicolored wine glasses, new this year, add lots of color.

I couldn’t choose between gold and rust napkins (both from World
Market), so I used both!

The centerpiece features a rustic woven turkey with a metal beak atop a Pottery
Barn charcuterie board, flanked by pinecone candles ($10 for the pair at
Walmart—grab them!).

The adorable salt
and pepper shakers are by Spode.
The Arthur Court Thanksgiving butter dish with turkey knob can be
found here.
My iron candlesticks, bought 15+ years ago from a now-closed
local shop, hold court alongside faux pumpkins, gourds, and tucked autumn leaves.

Thanksgiving magic, served.

Very pretty. I love the turkey and the pinecone candle sticks.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, and I agree that Thanksgiving is the best holiday. Its such a beautiful time to stop and appreciate all that we have, while being surrounded by family. I LOVE IT. I have those same turkey S&P shakers. I need to haul them out and while I am figuring out how to decorate the table for my peeps.
ReplyDeleteMagic indeed. The pinecone candlesticks and the turkey plate…perfect!
ReplyDeleteSome people of Indonesian do celebrate Thanksgiving, but only in special cases such as Indonesians living in the U.S.Indonesian students abroad, Christian communities who hold special thanksgiving worship (ucapan syukur).
ReplyDeleteRestaurants or hotels in big cities offer Thanksgiving dinners for expats.But it’s not common for the general Indonesian population. Some expatriates in Indonesia might celebrate, but it’s not part of the Indonesian national calendar,however, gratitude, family gatherings, and sharing a big meal happens .every day in Indonesia, and we are proud of it as a symbol of togetherness and grateful of what we are already have.
I loved your other Thanksgiving table, but this one has my heart. I love November and Thanksgiving is my favorite for all the reasons you mentioned. I particularly love Johnson Bros china and the gauzy runner over gingham - just beautiful. Your table is warm and inviting and just perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful table! ( as usual) Thanks for sharing it. Best, Virginia
