A Brown and White Thanksgiving Tablescape

I have had these turkey dinner plates for a while and when I found the white turkey tureen a few years ago I knew it was time to pull a table setting together.

I didn’t have a brown tablecloth but I found one on Amazon. I really wanted a table setting with only two colors this time.

Sorry about the glare on the plate, to get enough light I have to deal with the reflection of the light. These dinner plates were made by Spode and the pattern is called Celebration. I think I bought them at HomeGoods a few years ago. I like the profile of this large turkey and the flower border.

The white charger is one of the first charger sets I bought when I started tablescaping. The pattern is Antique Beaded and I bought them at Williams Sonoma several years ago. I use this charger constantly in my table settings. If you look back through my blog at my tablescapes, you will see it often. A simple white charger is a great first purchase if you want to create more interest in your table settings.

It’s difficult to see on top of the brown tablecloth but this flatware is a smoky brown color. The camera makes them look much darker in color than they really are. The handles are some kind of plastic material. They are marked SR Showroom Italy. I bought them online somewhere several years ago but I can’t remember where. They are really large and well made.

The clear goblets on the right are my wedding crystal, the pattern is Lismore made by Waterford. I also have sherbets, candlesticks and some serving pieces in this pattern. The pattern was released in 1952 and it is still in production. I love it. The brown goblet on the left was made by Lenox between 1966 and 1985. It was called Antique Brown. I bought them on Ebay several years ago.

The brown napkins probably came from World Market several years ago. They almost match the tablecloth, close enough. I was looking for a white turkey napkin ring and found these on Ebay a few years ago.

The brown metal turkey place card holder can also be a napkin ring. You can’t see the ring behind the turkey. I have had them for several years. I think they came from Crate and Barrel or Pottery Barn. The white salt and pepper set came from Pottery Barn a few years ago. I already had the leaf tea light candle holders, not sure where I found them.

This white turkey tureen came from Pottery Barn a few years ago. I had been looking for a large white soup tureen for a while but nothing was quite right. When I saw this one I decided he needed a good home with us. I like the fact that he comes with a matching ladle.

A Turkey Tablescape with the Blues

The idea for this Thanksgiving tablescape design came from this turkey salad plate. I bought a few of these plates on sale after Thanksgiving a few years ago at Pottery Barn when they only had a few left and when it was offered again the next year, I was able to buy a few more. The pattern is called Botanical Harvest Turkey. The color blue is not a color that one would normally think of for a Thanksgiving table but I like the change.

I decided to set the table without a tablecloth so the wood surface of our Stickley table would show.

This turkey salad plate is colorful and I like the delicate feel of it.

This stoneware charger or dinner plate came from Pottery Barn as well. I love this plate, I also have it in red and a few other colors. The pattern is called Cambria. It is the perfect size to be either a dinner plate or a charger plate, I love plates that have that kind of versatility.

This rattan charger plate was one of the first chargers that I bought when I started tablescaping. I bought it at World Market or Pier 1 I think.

This place mat came from Pier 1 before our store closed. The design is called Mesa and I have the placemat in several colors. The camera washed out the blue shade. The color in the next photo is more accurate.

This cream flatware set was made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought it at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale a several years ago. I love this flatware pattern, I have it in a few other colors as well. I can’t remember where I bought the napkins but it may have been HomeGoods.

I bought these metal leaf place card holders online several years ago, I can’t remember where.

I bought these amber goblets at Pier 1 a few years ago before our store closed. I love how tall they are, they will replace some that I bought several years ago that are much shorter. I think the blue goblets came from Pier 1 a few years ago too.

I can’t remember where I bought these two sets of pilgrim salt and peppers but the shorter ones are from Hallmark I think.

I can’t remember where I found this turkey centerpiece, I have had it for a few years. I love the different textures and the mix of colors.

A Go for the Gold Turkey Tablescape for Thanksgiving

I did this tablescape a some years ago and decided to post it again for new readers. I have had these small turkey tureens for a long time. I found them on Ebay and I finally bought the matching salad plates and dinner plates on Ebay too. I still need a few more of the tureens but one shows up only once or twice a year on Ebay so buying a full set will take some time. Unfortunately the gold color doesn’t photograph well. The dishes, tablecloth, and napkins are a warm gold color and the color gets washed out in some of these photos. This photo is actually the best representation of the color and it still isn’t completely accurate. I found the tablecloth and napkins on Amazon a few years ago and I was delighted when they came and they matched the dishes perfectly.

The turkey tureens, salad plates, and dinner plates were all made by Bordallo Pinheiro in Portugal. I have several different patterns made by this company and I love the raised designs and the details on these plates with turkeys and acorns.

The turkeys and acorns around the borders of these plates are perfect for the season.

These bronze hammered charger plates came from Williams Sonoma a few years ago. I really like the hammered design and they are a nice weight.

I bought this inexpensive set of gold flatware when I first started tablescaping. I can’t remember where it came from but I need to replace it with something of better quality eventually. (I have since bought a much nicer set.)

I’ve had these gold napkin rings for a long time. I can’t remember where they came from but it was probably Pier 1. The gold napkins came from Amazon several years ago.

I used these amber goblets on another Thanksgiving tablescape, you can see them here. I bought them at Pier 1 several years ago on sale. I love how tall they are, they will replace some that I bought several years ago that are much shorter. The brown goblet on the right was made by Lenox between 1966 and 1985. It was called Antique Brown. I bought them on Ebay several years ago.

I bought the metal leaf place card holder online several years ago, can’t remember where.

The matching candle holders came from Ebay also.

I can’t remember where I found this turkey centerpiece. I love the different textures and colors.

This is one of my favorite Thanksgiving tablescapes.

Come to the Turkey Tablescape!

I am reposting my favorite Thanksgiving tablescape that I did in 2019. This is the second version of this Thanksgiving table that I created, I did the same table several years ago but I made some changes.

I found this tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago. I was looking for green and there are so many different tones and shades of green but I really like this one. It has a tweed look to it. This photo shows the most accurate color of the tablecloth.

This time of year there are so many different designs of turkey plates to choose from. I bought these turkey salad plates at HomeGoods several years ago. The back of the plate says, “Royal Stafford, made in Burslem, the heart of the Potteries, England”. I like the different colors included on the plate and the traditional turkey who is fat and fluffy.

The dinner plate came from Pier 1 and I bought it several years ago. It was part of their Spice Route collection and the color is Clove. The beaded edge adds interest to the border. I have this plate in a few other colors too and I use them often this time of year. You can see this plate on my Time for Soup tablescape here and my Leaves are Falling tablescape here. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.

I bought these brown glass spiral chargers online but I can’t remember where. I have had them for several years and I use them often on my Fall tablescapes.

This is one of my go-to flatware patterns for Fall tablescapes. The flatware is Madeline Green and I bought it at World Market some years ago. You can really see the tweed design in the tablecloth in this photo. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I bought the amber goblets at Pier 1 before our store closed a few years ago. I love how tall they are, they replaced some that I bought several years ago that are much shorter. I bought the green acrylic goblets online at Home Depot. They are made by Certified International and they come in other colors too. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection here.

The napkins came from HomeGoods a few years ago and they just happened to match the tablecloth perfectly! I wanted the napkins to add a bit more pattern to the table and these worked.

This turkey napkin ring is one of my favorite napkin rings. It was one of the first napkin rings that I bought when I started tablescaping. The bottom says, “j. willfred, a division of the Charles Sadek Import Company, Inc.”.

Can’t remember where I found these metal turkey place card holders.

I think I found this salt and pepper set at HomeGoods.

This vintage salt and pepper set is labeled Relco, Japan. I found the set at an antique mall.

I looked for a turkey tureen to use as a centerpiece for a long time and finally found this one several years ago. It was made by Spode and it was part of their Harvest Collection. I can’t remember where I found it. I really love it. I set it on one of the chargers and put bits and pieces of Fall around it. It comes out the beginning of November and sits on the table or somewhere else until Christmas decorating starts.

This is the same table I did several years ago but I made several changes this year. I like this year’s better!
