The Thanksgiving Table {2012}

One of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is getting the tables ready.  The Thanksgiving table is ready for the older crowd {minus the requisite olives and cranberries that will fill the empty bowls} and tomorrow I’ll share the kids’ table.

This year I have a set of brown transferware {hooray!} and I’m so excited about using it.

The transferware is set atop my seamed burlap tablecloth and accented with lace-edged heirloom napkins and mismatched glasses {with a fun drink for my older kids}.
Thanksgiving, #Thanksgiving

I used huge acorns for the placecards.

I love my orange-dyed acorns but when I found these huge guys, I couldn’t resist.  I spray painted them yellow and embellished them with chipboard monograms.

Thanksgiving

My centerpiece is a simple mix of natural elements – a pumpkin, some Indian corn, bright yellow acorns, and fall leaves collected by my twins.  I added chipboard letters to the centerpiece as well … a reminder to bless others.

Thanksgiving

Is your table set?  Are you ready for the big day?

    Your table looks beautiful. I have to ask… do you serve buffet style or do you have a small table to the side that you pass the dishes from?

      I serve buffet style from the kitchen island. It’s just so much easier.
