Tablescape Thursday

Since I am busy preparing for a house full of family for Thanksgiving, I want to share a few tablescape centerpieces I've used over the years. The white cornucopia below is one of my favorites. I've had it for over 15 years and I'm still not tired of it!

It presents a beautiful tablescape, as seen below:

I have two ceramic cornucopias, this one is brown:

Now to the turkeys:

I've had these wicker turkey baskets for almost 20 years.

The smaller wicker turkey basket:

This smaller turkey also has a lace bib with ribbons, but

different from the larger one.

This tablescape is on the table in the breakfast nook.
Rattan placemats and no tablecloth.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing the four Thanksgiving centerpieces I have used over the years.

Filled with white faux magnolias and gold fruit.
The white Blessings block completes the centerpiece.

Gold leafed ceramic chargers from Pier 1 (20 years ago) with white Dollar Tree dinner plates. The ceramic pumpkins are from Dollar Tree.

I named this tablescape "Simple Elegance"

I've had these cute little pilgrims for about 20 years, I think they are so cute.

The cute little pilgrims are peeking out of the roses.
I made these turkey floral arrangements over 15 years ago,
and glued lace on the breast of the turkeys.

Tablescape Thursday

Since we don't have company coming for Thanksgiving I had time to do a new tablescape, load pictures, etc.

Thanks to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting so we can play with our dishes. Click on her name for lots more inspiration.

Inspiration for this tablescape came from the silk flowers above. They are purple and green hydrangeas that I fell in love with a few months ago not knowing what I would use them for.

I found these purple wavy edge plates at Walmart last month. They were only $3 each, not as good as Dollar Tree, but still a good price!
It is so hard to get a true picture of purple, it sometimes looks blue, or light purple,

or even black!

I placed a sparkly leaf in the center with a sparkly purple pine cone in the center of each plate.

The gold leaf chargers and gold trim flatware compliment the purple.

For the centerpiece I placed the hydrangeas in the gold mercury glass bowl.
I have used all the gold recently in other tablescapes. I love being able to use the same items, with different tablescapes since they all turn out differently.

I've also used the same gold trimmed crystal glasses:

The photo below was taken with the flash, but it washes out the color of the flowers.

This purple is too dark:

This purple is too light!

I just held a plate up to the screen and none of the pictures are the true purple! Please use your imagination! LOL!

Even the wall colors are not the true colors here:

Or here, the top one is too dark:

Another one too dark and dull:

This is a very simple tablescape, but a doable one that anyone can use and can do it very inexpensively.

We have been invited to Thanksgiving dinner with friends, so it is an easy time for me! What are you doing? Cooking? Dining out? Whatever, enjoy your day!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

God's Blessings
