Giving Thanks

I cannot believe tomorrow is Thanksgiving!   Where did 2018 go?    I normally make a turkey with all the trimmings, but I decided not to cook this year. It's only me and I always have so much food left over that ends up in small containers in the freezer until the next Thanksgiving. I will spend the morning watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, take a long walk with the dog maybe catch up on some of my Hallmark Christmas movies on the DVR.   

I purchased the plum mosaic tile glass hurricanes and  ruset frosted glass pillars especially for this table.   I love to pair purple and orange together.  

The frosted ruset glass pillars and the plum mosaic tile glass hurricanes are from the Valerie Parr Hill Collection.   I used her harvest leaf and berry candle rings and mercury glass pumpkins in the centerpiece.

The Pilgrim Pair salt and pepper shakers are from Publix Grocery many years ago.  

The gold turkey napkin rings are from SteinMart last year. 

The pumpkin place card holders are from Michael's this season. 

The Milan Luxe gold and coral goblets are by Patina Vie and were purchased at HomeGoods.   The small purple wine glasses have been in my collection for a few years.

The stack starts with a brown paisley tablecloth that I've had for several years.  The antique gold beaded rim chargers were found at Dollar Tree this past week.  I used a dusty purple dinner plate.  It's hard to photograph plates without a flash.  The color shows much better in place setting pictures above.   The leaf embossed salad plates were found at TJ Maxx. The turkey plates are from HomeGoods have been in my plate collection for several years. 

The turkey platter was my Mother's.   

The harvest glass hurricanes with harvest rings are from the Valerie Parr Hill Collection.   The garland is also a part of the collection.   I added in a gold magnolia leaf garland from the Lisa Robertson Collection.  

This table is so pretty at night.  

Happy Thanksgiving!

Autumn Chinoiserie Tablescape

I love blue and white and really enjoy using it on tables year round.  Last Fall I noticed several beautiful blue and white chinoiserie style pumpkins being used in various holiday vignettes.  As soon as the white pumpkins hit the craft stores I picked up several and started painting.   I also painted several smaller white pumpkins and pumpkin shaped plates found at the local dollar stores and Target.   I enjoyed mixing the chinoiserie pumpkins together with pretty Fall colors on this weeks tablescape.  

I used illuminated mercury glass pumpkins by Valerie Parr Hill at each place setting.    

Chinoiserie pumpkins used as the centerpiece.

I placed the painted pumpkins inside three Harvest Leaft and Berry  candle rings by Valerie Parr Hill. 

The tablecloth is made from fabric found at Ballard Designs a couple years ago.  The embossed gold chargers have been in my collection forever.  The blue and white dinner plate is by Catalina Home.  The pumpkin embossed salad plate is from Sur La Table.  The pumpkin salad plate is from Better Homes and Gardens. 

I added a small hand painted pumpkin to each place setting. 

I considered adding the hand painted pumpkin plates to the top, but decided I liked the mini painted pumpkin better. 

The mini white pumpkins are from Dollar Tree.   I used Artist's Loft paint pens found at Michael's to paint all the pumpkins and plates.  I also used various tip sizes of blue Sharpie's to do fine accents.

I found the small white pumpkin plates in the Target deal spot. 

The used a Valerie Parr Hill Fall Pumpkin & Magnolia garland with matching candle rings on the server.  I added a gold leaf magnolia garland from the Lisa Robertson Collection.   The ivory Illuminated Carved Pumpkin & Gourd set, and the denim blue Quilted Glass Pillars with Microlights are also from Valerie's collection.

I'm sorry for so many pictures on this post   I loved this table so much it was so hard to choose just a few.
