White Turkey Salad Plates, a Thanksgiving Table

We are going to Natchez, MS soon and possibly spend Thanksgiving there but I thought I would set some Thanksgiving table here to post before we leave. This is actually the second one I have done and if I have a chance, I might do one last one before we leave, which I will post weekly before Thanksgiving.

I am using the white oval turkey salad plates I bought from Pottery Barn 2 years ago. I used them once last year too.

I covered the table with a Tommy Bahama table cloth, followed by gold placemats to make them look more formal since the tablecloth looks kinda casual and tropical, but it just has the right colors that is why I decided to use it. Then I used another placemat, a round green twiny one. I then layered green MacKenzie Childs plate chargers followed by American Atelier's "Abigail" dinner plates and finally the turkey plates.

The goblets with green stems are from the Dollar Tree and I paired them with a green Mexican glass champagne flutes. I just love their twisted stem.

Green handled flatware to keep up with my green color motif.

I used 2 types of napkin rings, a ceramic pumpkin and artichoke.

4 types of S& P servers

For the tea, I am using a white medallion set with "Lily of the Valley" tea cups.

Thank you so much for stopping by and to the hostesses, for these lovely parties!

Pierced Tableware!

I was organizing the garage to try to fit whatever is left in Natchez when I spotted these pierced salad plates. I noticed they had maple leaves in various colors so I decided to use them to create a table. Perfect for Fall, isn't it?

I also spotted a pierced ceramic basket in the garage so I somehow managed to include it in my centerpiece.

I decided to use my white wooden plate chargers. I have some white pierced ceramic ones too but they are still in Natchez. I used plain peachy dinner plates.

They are plain but the borders are ribbed. I bought them from West Elm about 3 years ago.

I remembered I had some pierced flatware too so on the table they went.

Do you like my flowers in a pot? I found them at Goodwill when I gave a box of donations and bought it for I think, $1.80. I like how the flowers are arranged and I like the pot they're in too.

I picked a tea set by Kent Pottery. I don't know the pattern name but they are floral and I just added a Portmeiron "Botanic Garden" cup in similar colors.
