Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I created a Thanksgiving table although we are probably not using it cause it's just John and me here for Thanksgiving. All our friends went to Florida and of course all our kids live in Florida. We will all get together in a few weeks.
The setting is in the formal dining room, using a tablecloth I bought from Rhodes, Greece.
The layers of plates consist of a wooden plate charger, a ceramic one, Johnson Brothers' historic America "Frozen Up" dinner plate, Queen's Myott Thanksgiving dinner and salad plates.
I bought this wooden bowl a few months ago from Marshall's. I like the weird shape of it.
I used brass napkin rings for the 6 place settings and used wooden pumpkin ones for the heads because I only have 7 brass ones. The flatware is a brass set with mahogany handles "Siam" that my beloved cousin from the Philippines gave me years ago.
Amber "Iris" goblets and green wine glasses.
The 3 tiered candle holder is from Willow House.
Lastly, I want to show you the tea set I bought recently from Trier City in Germany. I bought it from the Villeroy and Boch store and the pattern name is "Audun Ferme". I love the transferware with the pastoral scene. I would have bought more pieces but we were very limited in luggage space. I also bought the iron stand/warmer that the teapot is on but it was from Rothenberg.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Aside from the many blessings that I have to be thankful for particularly my family and friends, I am also thankful for all of you, my blogging friends. Thanks to the hostesses too for adding fun to blogging.

Beautiful tablescape for Tksgiving and the tablecloth from Rhodes-Greece is stunning. I love it how it goes with the hues of your dining room rug and of course, the lovely turkey plates.
Hope you have a lovely Tksgiving. We will, but this Saturday as there's no celeb around here. I will be hosting it with a post I did before the last one. When you get a chance you'll see my formal table too.

Hi Christine,
whow, what an elegant tablesetting you made. If your family would be there, you had a gorgeous dinner at home. But to have dinner for two is also very relaxing and sweet. I am sure you make a special dinner for Thanksgiving. Wish you a wonderful time and nice holidays later in Florida. Your new tea set from Villery & Boch ist fabulous.
Best greetings, Johanna

Christine, your tablescapes are always lovely, but I think this one for Thanksgiving is one of my favorites. I love the turkey plates. I just discovered the Audun Ferme teapot. Oh, my -- it is lovely. I know you'll miss your family for Thanksgiving. Wishing you and John a quiet Thanksgiving!

Wow ! This is a richly hued Thanksgiving table, I can only imagine how much more the feast you must surely serve when you do have the holiday there must add.
I love the turkey china, but then, I raise turkeys and appreciate all things turkey, especially eating them !
So pretty!
I think you and John should dine at that beautiful table tomorrow. I love the different plates you have put together...and the glassware is gorgeous!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Christine.
Beautiful! Have a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
Blessings & Aloha!

Your tablescape is absolutely beautiful. It belongs in a magazine.
Your table is beautiful! I love the flatware and the candle holders. I have missed seeing your tables.
Dear Susanne,
I hope you can read this. Thanks for your email. I don't know how else I can communicate with you cause replying to your email did not show an email address and I do not see your blog if you have any. Your English is just perfect. Thank you so much for the info. I enjoyed my trip to Germany so much and I will be posting my travels, one city at a time, every Thursday night. I hope you get to see them. It is so beautiful in your country, just like a fairy tale and I found Germans to be really nice and very organized and neat. Please correct me if I make an error. It's hard to remember everything that the tour guides say especially when one is busy taking pictures.
Thank you so much for following my blog. I hope you and your family enjoy this Christmas season too.
Christine
Christine - Your table is breathtakingly beautiful! That tablecloth is gorgeous and coulndn't be more perfect for your table! Our Thanksgiving was small, too, just my husband and two sons. We kept it simple and then went to the movies! Thank you for sharing your amazing table with us!
Your table is lovely, Christine, so many lovely pieces. I hope you had a good holiday.
