This week is Thanksgiving, as well as Tablescape Thursday. I wish you all a day filled with love, family and wonderful food. Please take some time today or tomorrow and visit our hostess Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch to get some great table setting ideas from the other participants.
I really planned on doing a holiday tablescape this week. Of course that was before I went to Cracker Barrel and found the fall tureen and ladle on sale for half price! It is my first soup tureen, but I'm sure it won't be my last. I never really wanted one, then I joined in with Tablescape Thursday.
As you can see, it is very detailed. What you can't see is the pear that is in the cornucopia, I forgot to take a picture of that side. I used a a branch with some sugared fruit and just a touch of holiday glitz.
The dark green plates are from Wal-Mart. The salad plates I bought last month for $1 each at TJ Maxx. The crystal I've had for several years, as well as the gold flatware. I remember buying it years ago and I never used it until I set this table. I forgot all about it until I started tablescaping. The tablecloth is vintage with leaves and of course my gold napkins.
Aren't these cute for $1?
Oh how pretty -- and I loved your salad from the last post too -- that's going in my files for sure -- Beautiful tureen -- It looks so detailed, I know you'll enjoy it. I'm afraid I've made lots of purchases since I've started tablescaping of things I didn't know I wanted -- until they looked so pretty on someone elses table. Right now, I'm in a glasses frenzy -- I've bought three sets in the last week and I'm so running out of storage room!
ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful taplescape! I love the pears and the tureen is lovely! I wanted to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving and to let you know that your friendship ( or blogship) and words of encouragement during these past few months have meant so much to me! God bless... Dee Dee
Hi, Sue... what a fun table, and I'm very, very jealous that you a) got that turreen for half price, b) got those plates for a dollar each at the Maxx, and c) found those nifty chargers at WalMart. I hope they have more!!! I didn't make it to the sales at Cracker Barrel because my husband has been sick and is now recuperating, but I am loving what everyone else found! Good job on your table. It's fun and festive, and I love the pears on the plates that coordinate with the ones on the tureen... still can't believe the prices. Good deal!
ReplyDeleteI set the table for Tablescape Thursday, but we are going out tomorrow! LOL! We were supposed to be away for the holiday in NC, but he is still recuperating. Consequently, we changed plans, and I decided we are going out on a "date." ;-)
Hope that both your Tablescape Thursday and Thanksgiving are very happy!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteYou set such a lovely table. The soup tureen is beautiful- and makes quite a statement in the center of your table! Lovely. You did a great job with the pear theme. I love those pear plates!!!!
Wonderful job, Sue!
I hope you have a very blessed Thanksgiving! Getting to know you has been such a blessing to me. I am always so excited when you visit!
Enjoy your day!
Yvonne
Sue, that single pear sitting on the pear pattern plate is PERFECT! I am sooo jealous of your bargain purchase on the gorgeous tureen. We don't have a CB very close but I'm tempted to make a road trip to find something similar.
ReplyDeleteYour whole table is beautiful!
I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours.
fondly,
Rett
Hi Sue, love all the pears...What a great table...Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family my Friend

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm so glad I stopped by.
ReplyDeleteSue, beautiful table! I am smiling about your not ever wanting a tureen until you started doing tablescapes...I didn't either....I had one with my Liberty Blue that is really to large to be practical, but I have found 3 in the past 5-6 weeks! This is very addictive, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteWow, affordable and stylish! You do such a good job with this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Sue, hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I have really eaten too much, and don't know why I have to do this every year...I really didn't need the second piece of pecan pie, did I?
