Just a quick post here to share our Thanksgiving dinner table. I am in Florida right now with my daughter, taking care of some exciting business, but I set the table before I left. I was not feeling too well when I left home so this table was put together very quickly in between resting and napping.
I am inviting some friends over to join us since I cannot have any family member come over. They all live in FL and they all have other plans already. This year, I made our table very traditional and will be serving very traditional Thanksgiving food also.
I brought my pair of candelabra from the French cabinet to use on the table. I think it adds to the formality look.
I used my Myott Queens turkey luncheon and salad plates. I told you it will be very traditional but I added a Princess House Pavillion dinner plate. I used oval wood plate chargers and my natural fiber oval placemats.
I combined Iris bubble amber goblets and green wine glasses, both of which I have had for years.
Wm Rogers silver plated flatware in "Exquisite" pattern.
For napkin rings, I used Southern Living at Home napkin rings which also doubles as name place holders.
I thought I would put "Her Majesty, the Turkey" on a pedestal in the center and be the main centerpiece.
I took 2 vases that were on our kitchen mantel and placed them on either side of the turkey platter. My friend, Noemie gave me the vases and I bought cheap fall colored flowers from the Dollar Store and made the arrangements.
I will use the orange vintage hobnail server for the gravy. I also added 2 simple candle holders with turkey on them.
Princess House "Pavillion" turkey platter matches the dinner plates. It is placed on top of a marble top Lazy Susan.
Turkey S& P shakers, Spode duck S& P shakers and I just added a twin dip container, maybe to use for cranberries. Not sure yet.
I think this must be my favorite tablecloth. I bought it from Roades, Greece. I just love the color, the material and the satin edging with embroideries.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all enjoy the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Christmas is coming very fast.
I am very happy to link with the following and very grateful to the hostesses.

that is the MOST beautiful thanksgiving
table i have ever seen. you are an
artist.
It's all beautiful as usual! I love the tablecloth!
Gorgeous Chris! Your table is exuberant and beautiful, like the pretty and perfect dishes and lovely stemware, among all the other perfect elements you've used for it. We are here at Sofia's in Cayetana's b'day party again. We will be alone for Tksgiving with my mom only, the family is scattered..not that there's Tksgiving here, but we celebrate it the next Satuday, 24. Big hugs,

Christine, your table settings are always fit for a King! I LOVE the turkey plates. Anyone should feel special enjoying a meal at this table.
Very pretty - your guests will enjoy being at that table. Hope you are feeling better.
Hi Christine, Your table looks beautiful in the candle light. The light makes the whole room look so inviting. Have a great Thanksgiving! Gina
I just had to write and tell you how pretty your dining room is. Also, I wanted to show you our dining room. We have the same exact wallpaper. I was very surprised when I saw your post. I thought I would include the post I did getting our dining room ready for Fall.

Spectacular, Christine! I almost think it wouldn't matter what you put on the table when you put that gorgeous cloth on it! I love the candelabra set. Everything is so elegant looking. laurie
Oh Christine! You have just taken my breath away with this one. I love every single inch of it. It's gorgeous and elegant. I love the plates and wish that I had some, and I really love the stemware on here. This table just has a glow about it.
I've been short on inspiration lately, and this really inspires!
Your table is lovely - so warm and festive! Happy Thanksgiving!
Christine this is so pretty! I love the traditional look and you have done it so very well. First off let me say the candelabra's are gorgeous and caught my attention right away. I also love that you used two different colors for the goblets and wine glasses. This setting is so very serene looking to me too. I would be happy to join as well if I were able. Happy Thanksgiving!
How beautiful...I will be using the same turkey plates, too. The flatware really is exquisite, beautiful pattern! Christine, I just can't seem to mentally picture you doing a traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner for some reason!
Wow Christine, You'd never know you weren't in tip top form when you created this beautiful Thanksgiving tablescape. I think you will wow your guests with this table and I'm sure your traditional meal will be delicious. Love the header, such a beautiful family.
Happy Thanksgiving Christine.......
