Tablescapes, Pilgrims & Pumpkins

 

Welcome to the Celebrate & Decorate annual Thanksgiving tablescape hop!

A week of creative Thanksgiving tables to enjoy and inspire!

All the links are at the end of this post and are updated daily

 

 

 

 

I am especially thankful for my friend Sally~

or as I sometimes call her, CCOG, CC’s Other Grandmother…

Her son, NG just happens to be married to my daughter DD

We share them on Thanksgiving, they go to her house for lunch

and then jump in the car and drive to the beach house for dinner

 

 

 

 

When I popped in for a visit recently she was getting out her Thanksgiving things

and thinking about how she would set her tables…

💡

hmmm…. “um, Sally?

I’m doing a tablescape hop soon and since we’re going to the beach,

Do you think I could come over and borrow your table for photos?

I can bring some of my things, we could play and set up a Thanksgiving tablescape?”

“Sure!” she said

 

 

 

It was raining buckets that day, so some of the photos look weird,

And just when I finished taking photos the power went off!

Come on into Sally’s beautiful home and see what we created

 

 

 

 

She had already styled a great centerpiece

A large glass bowl full of natural elements, orbs and leaves

 

 

 

 

All I did was flank it with a pair of tall pilgrims and a variety of real and faux pumpkins

 

 

 

 

Her beautiful runner with abstract leaves and flowers of soft Autumn colors

provided a perfect base for the center of the table

 

 

 

 

We combined her chocolate chargers with my gold and burnt orange ones,

setting this table for 6 with 2 of each color

 

 

 

 

The Happy Thanks Giving plates on the top of the stack are paper!

 

 

 

She bought them to use for dessert

Aren’t they cute??

 

 

 

 

The plate stack was composed of her plates,

a white square dinner plate set on an angle

topped with a pale gray ceramic dinner plate

and the happy thanks Giving paper plate for dessert

 

 

 

 

We placed an individual pumpkin on top of the plate stack

With an Autumn leaf place card

 

 

 

 

Sally’s beautiful heirloom silverware completed the place settings

 

 

 

 

If you look closely

you’ll see her turkey salt and pepper shakers

and mini pilgrims that are part of her Thanksgiving tradition

 

 

 

 

 

All of our things went together so beautifully,

just like DD and NG 🥰

 

 

 

 

She had some wonderful turkey napkin rings

I folded the tips of her cream linen napkins around the back of the rings

then fluffed them to make them splay out like turkey feathers

 

 

 

 

And you can’t have a Thanksgiving table without an ear or two of Indian corn and a dish of acorns

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At her request I painted these turkey glasses several years ago

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh goodness, we had so much fun sharing and creating!

 

 

 

 

I am “Berry Thankful” for our friendship!

 

 

 

 

Thank you Sally for letting me play at your house for this hop!

 

 

 

 

Be sure to stop back by on Friday and I’ll show you how to make these Autumn Leaf tags!
