"November shadows, shade November change
November spells sweet memory, the season blue remains"
The Avett Brothers "November Blue"
I was interested in doing a Thanksgiving table without using the usual Thanksgiving colors and china. I thought blue would make a pretty table especially with orange as a complementary color. I felt very original until one of my favorite Avett Brothers songs "November Blue" started playing. I think I was subliminally influenced by their music! So I decided to name the tablescape after their song.
Here's the table:
I started with a warm white tablecloth and used copper colored chargers. I then used Spode Blue Italian Dinner and side plates. On top of the dinner plates I used pumpkin salad plates from Walmart (last year's clearance).
I used my Colonial Shell stainless and Pewter goblets finished off with orange napkins with a copper colored leaf napkin ring.
For my centerpiece I used a blue and white china compote topped with a ceramic orange pumpkin.
I added some orange berries and smaller pumpkins too and pumpkin place card holders in both orange and white.
So here is my November Blue tablescape!
Watching on the mantle are two pairs of Pilgrims.
And over to the side is my antique wicker tea cart with a cornucopia tea set and pumpkin mugs.
I hope you enjoyed my November Blue table and that it inspires you to try different colors for the holidays!

I really love the mixture that you chose! I especially love the way that you incorporated copper--which I find warm and wonderful this time of year! Happy Thanksgiving!

You and I were working with the same eye for color this week. I adore the Spode Blue Italian with the pops of complementary orange. I need to find some perfect berries. I love them meandering down your table. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Cherry Kay

Blue and orange is a great combination. Of course, anything transferware is lovely. Sweet pilgrims watching over your table. Happy Thanksgiving. ~CJ
I was just sitting here lamenting my choice to not go with blue & white for at least one of this year's Thanksgiving tables. It was totally my intention, but I suddenly went in a different direction. Poo! Now that I see yours, I'm even more convinced I should have gone that direction. Very nice! Hope you're able to have a relaxing weekend in anticipation of all of next week's activities!
Blue and orange make such a vibrant combination! I love the touches of copper and your centerpiece is just wonderful! What charming pilgrim couples, too!
CJ, love that color combo...don't know why it isn't used more often. Beautiful table!
Hi Jewel,
You won the cookie party kit. I posted it last week, but I haven't had time to come over and tell you. I have had the painters here and everything is pulled apart!
Please email me your address! :)
