A Thanksgiving Tablescape with Blues

The idea for this Thanksgiving tablescape started with the blue turkey salad plates. I found them and then I remembered that I did a brown and white Thanksgiving tablescape before so I knew that I had several white turkeys that I could use. You can see that brown and white Thanksgiving tablescape with 13 other Thanksgiving tablescapes (and 260+ other tablescapes) that I have done here: https://www.whispersoftheheart.com/tablescapes . I will add a photo of the brown and white Thanksgiving tablescape to the end of this blog post too. I found the Blue Rondo alla Turkey tablecloth on sale at Spoonflower online. I love the small turkeys design. Even on sale Spoonflower tablecloths are expensive but they are great quality and they will last for many decades if they are taken care of properly.

I found these blue turkey salad plates at HomeGoods. They are marked Thanksgiving, Queens’s, est. 1795, Made in Columbia, Myott Factory, archive illustrations, Adapted from original copper engravings. I usually don’t like putting items on my tablescapes that aren’t the correct color but in this case I decided to because I liked the look of these salad plates and I wanted to do a different Thanksgiving tablescape than what I have done before.

I bought these blue plates online several years ago at Ballard Designs, they were called Southern Living. They are about 11 1/2” in diameter, a good size to be either a dinner plate or a charger. I love plates that will work for either! You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.

This is a Mikasa Color Spectrum Charger in the color Alpine White. I have this charger in several different colors and I bought them all on Ebay as I saw them over a few years. The Internet says that this pattern was only made between 1992 and 1993. I am not sure that is true but in any case they are no longer being manufactured. I have been trying to get six of this white color and pattern for years with no success until last year when suddenly I found six at different places online after occasional google searches. You need to have patience when you are looking for things for tablescaping, that’s for sure! To read about what you should be considering when you are buying chargers click here.

This photo really shows the tablecloth design well. I bought this frosted white flatware on sale online at Wayfair several years ago, it was made by Cambridge. It is 18/0 instead of 18/10 so the fork tines are a bit sharper than I would like but I really liked the frosted color. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I can’t remember where I bought the royal blue cotton napkins, I have had them for several years. Over the years I have shopped for napkins at HomeGoods, Pier 1, and World Market so they probably came from one of those stores. I was looking for a white turkey napkin ring a few years ago and found these on Ebay.

I can’t remember where I found these white turkey place card holders but it might have been Pottery Barn. To read about the what, where and how of place card holders, please click here.

Hubby found the blue glass goblet on the left at an estate sale last year. The white glass goblet on the right came from HomeGoods earlier this year and it had a label that said Barsk Original. It’s difficult to find white goblets so I was happy to find this one. They are both tall goblets and I like that. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection here.

This white turkey tureen came from Pottery Barn several years ago. I had been looking for a large white turkey 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.

I bought these blue glass taper candle holders at Sur La Table online last year. The candlesticks are a delicate thin blue glass. I always keep taper candles on hand in various colors in case I need them.

This white turkey salt and pepper set came from Pottery Barn online several years ago.

I found this Lenox French Perle Carved Turkey salt and pepper set on Amazon recently.

This is the brown and white Thanksgiving Turkey tablescape that I created six years ago, a good example showing how I use the same tablescaping items from year to year in different ways.
