Over the River & Through the Woods: A Magical Thanksgiving Table

 

I decided that I wanted to do something different for a Thanksgiving table this year. Year after year I use fall colors, pumpkins, gourds, turkeys, you get the picture. This year, I thought I would take the only Thanksgiving song that I know of, “Over the River and Through the Woods” and design a table around it so, allow me to welcome you to a uniquely seasonal Thanksgiving tablescape, crafted for a charming grandma-style dinner as part of Rita at Panoply’s Thanksgiving Tablescape Blog Hop.This was great fun to put together. I incorporated largely green and black in this table, added the trees to represent the woods, little illuminated houses to represent grandma’s house, snowflake lights, and the wonderful salad plates by 222 Fifth depicting the sleigh on which we would ride to get to grandma’s house in the woods.

The charger is a wooden tree round that I got from Target years ago. It is topped with a Pottery Barn plate with a wonderful pine and pine cone edge. The napkin is also by Pottery Barn, as is the runner with its woodsy theme.

The trio of glass trees I bought at Michael’s last year.The little illuminated houses I found here. They come with their own battery-powered lights, but I chose a flame in this instance. They are adorable whether it’s daytime or nighttime. 

The mug I bought last year at West Elm. The water glass is Libbey Glass Arby's Promotion Snowy Pine Trees Scene Tumblers.

The water glasses are by Mikasa in their “Park Lane” pattern. 

The hammered flatware that gives a nice bit of shine to this table is from Mikasa as well from their “Opulent” collection.
