Golden Thanksgiving Wishes!

Here is my Thanksgiving 2016 table. I started with a bright golden tablecloth and red and gold napkins. On top of wooden chargers, I am using my Spode Woodland Turkey Dinner plates. The wine glass has a golden design, the napkin rings are a light gold and the flatware has a golden beaded edge.

At each place setting, I have put a Meri Meri Pilgrim cracker and place card.

For the centerpiece, I used one of my many ceramic turkeys on top of a glass cake stand, all on top of a beaded fall leaf charger. I scattered faux golden leaves all around and surrounded the centerpiece with golden mercury glass votives.

On the mantle are lots of Pilgrims and Pumpkins.

Lots of Pilgrims on the Larger Buffet as well!

On the Smaller Buffet is my Paternal Grandmother's Punch Bowl Set, surrounded by some glass punch cups that were my Maternal Grandmother's. Spiced cider, anyone?

Or would you prefer tea? It can be served from this tea cart and my Spode Woodland Tea Pot.

Lots of turkeys in my hanging shelf.

So much to be thankful for this year! I hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful, too!

I will be sharing this with Between Naps on the Porch.

Pumpkins and Pilgrims and Turkey, Oh My!

I think I have shared before that I love fall! I love Christmas, but after Halloween, I decorate for Thanksgiving! 

This tablecloth is a beautiful shade of green, but I just can't get it to photograph beautifully! You will just have to take my word for it!

I am using wooden chargers with leaves embossed on the rim with my Spode Woodland Turkey plates. The stemware has both silver and gold touches just like the flatware. I am using old gold napkins with metal napkin rings.

I found these vintage Thanksgiving images on little clothespins at World Market. They pin right onto the napkin rings!

For my centerpiece, I put a beaded pumpkin placemat in the center and put some leaves and acrylic jewels around and place a turkey in the middle.

I put some corn pillar candles on golden pillars at each end.

Each place got a Thanksgiving Cracker (from Amazon) and a Pilgrim Place Card (from Paper Source).

I can't wait to open the crackers and see our treats!

The dining room tea cart is still full of Thanksgiving goodies.

So is the hanging shelf!

I have a nice selection of Spode Woodland in the kitchen ready for the big day!

And, of course, a Turkey Platter!

My sweet husband saw me drooling over the Staub Pumpkin Cocotte in Sur La Table and bought it for me for a Christmas present. Then he couldn't wait to give it to me, so I am already enjoying it while pumpkins are still in season!

Here is a Hunters' Chicken I prepared in it. Delicious! I just love it!

Still counting my blessings here - I will be sharing this with Between Naps on the Porch and Rustic and Refined.
