It gives me great pleasure to once again invite you to join me in viewing and celebrating with other tablescape designers the beautiful tablescape creations on display during this week starting Monday, November 4, 2019 to Friday, November 8, 2019. Our gracious host for this Thanksgiving Tablescape Blog Hop is Chloe Crabtree of Celebrate and Decorate who works tirelessly to organize and bring us these amazing and remarkable tablescapes. For this, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Chloe for putting so much time into this work, which offers all of us the chance to enjoy this spectacular art form and to provide us with a wonderful opportunity to collect ideas to decorate our home and make it cozy. Please be sure to visit all of the links below, which are updated on their specific day during this week.
So let's puff up our feathers and begin with my own interpretation of a Turkey Day tablescape. Although my back yard turkey visitors makes for a side-splitting, laughable spectacle, I directed my design to the genuine beauty of turkeys instead. Rather than choosing to do a tablescape which was playful and whimsical, I decided to create one which exemplifies the meaning behind words such as, "thankfulness", "gratitude", and "blessedness." These words are so closely tied to the essence of Thanksgiving. Actually, my choice of design also stems from a recent purchase of a gorgeous turkey soup tureen. This beautiful turkey is painted in rich colors of gold, green, brown and burgundy and rests on a dazzling basket full of nature's bounty of grapes, pumpkins and squash. It was a perfect addition to the ceramic turkey candleholders and napkin rings I already collected a number of years ago. So this time, my table truly is all about turkeys, turkeys......everywhere.
This beautiful tablecloth with its rich colors of gold, green and burgundy was sewn by my daughter and will be cherished for many years to come.
I used the amber glass dinnerware set that my sister gave me for my birthday a number of years ago. It is such a versatile set that renders a warm, inviting glow to any tablescape theme.
Ceramic turkey napkin rings are colorful and detailed and works beautifully with the rich rust colored napkin.
The same goes for the ceramic turkey taper candle holders. A simple but elegant detail.
How appropriate are these little pumpkin pie slices as an appetizer for the Thanksgiving holiday. Made from crackers, cheddar cheese and a dollop of blended cream cheese and sour cream, these cute little pie slices are the perfect quick and easy snack.
Yes, the Fall season is ablaze.
Our visitors are here! I am sure they will find plenty of things to eat. After all, it is Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Now it is time to strut on over to all of the other fine bloggers who have designed some spectacular Thanksgiving holiday tablescapes:

Marsha, a beautiful bounty of color on your table. Your turkey collection is enviable, and so perfectly coordinates with your choice of textiles, dishes, glass and flatware...not to mention the colorful centerpiece arrangement! What a gorgeous view on your property, a decidedly good choice for your inspiration. Your overview shot of the place setting on your table is truly stunning with the vivid colors. And what a delightful surprise of a snack/appetizer in those pumpkin 'pie' cheese bits! Happy to be in your company this week, today. Happy November blessings.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe we have to near the end of another year but at the beginning of holiday season with my favorite one being Thanksgiving! So yes it is hard to accept that fact but easy to embrace it.
ReplyDeleteYour turkey soup tureen is inspirational because it is so gorgeous and the perfect center of attention. All of the little turkey touches with the candle holders and napkin rings add such a warm feeling for the season. I'm in love with your amber glassware, all of it!

Marsha, your assortment of turkeys and colorful palette really set the mood for Thanksgiving! Happy November! Blessings, Cecilia @ My Thrift Store Addiction
ReplyDeleteWow, those are A LOT of turkeys in your yard! No wonder you were so inspired to gobble gobble! A stunning table full of rich details and gorgeous jewel tones. I have a turkey tureen too and it's one of my favorite things. Did you make the sweater pumpkins? I made my first ones recently, and they grace my centerpiece later this week. Thanks for the pumpkin pie appetizer idea --- hoping to use it this year.
ReplyDeleteThe colors you've chosen are amazing. These rich vibrant shades are generally what I think of this time of year. I'm loving your appetizers and will "borrow" that idea for my Thanksgiving dinner. A few years back we would see an occasional wild turkey in the backyard and it was a pleasant surprise. Hats off to your daughter for sewing the tablecloth. It's very pretty and goes so well with your table. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the time with your family.
ReplyDeleteThose pumpkin pie slices are so adorable! I love all the vibrant fall colors you used on your table. It's all so pretty and festive. I also love the views of your yard...that tree is stunning!

Marsha, I can appreciate your turkeys. Sometimes we have 25-30 in our back pasture and they come up right next to the house. I love your colorful table with the rich and vibrant shades of autumn. How special that your daughter made the beautiful tablecloth that I know you will cherish. Your details are well executed and the pumpkin pie appetizers are so cute. It is always a pleasure to blog hop with you!
ReplyDeleteMarsha, Such a vivid and colorful table and handsome “Tom” as the centerpiece of your table to pair with your petite turkey napkin rings and candle holders. The tablecloth your daughter made is the perfect foundation for your bountiful Thanksgiving! Love seeing your turkey visitors…so timely! Adorable mini cheese “pie slices” too! So happy to join you at the table and blog hop with you this week.♥
ReplyDeleteThat is SO VERY BEAUTIFUL!! Honestly, one of the loveliest use of jewel tones...it is outstanding. KUDOS!! franki
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I love this all so much! I am a huge fan of traditional Thanksgiving decor and I adore turkeys. I have had a very similar tureen for about 15 years. Your tablescape is gorgeous, along with your property and scenery. We usually spy a couple of wild turkeys in the forest across the street this time of year but none so far. I am definitely keeping an eye out.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to join you on this hop. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Marsha, what a Thanksgiving great to have both real and faux turkeys. The tablecloth your daughter made is stunning. Such rich colors. The turkey napkin rings are the cutest. Lucky you to have a sister who gives such treasured gifts as the Amber dishes.
ReplyDeleteThose turkeys are gorgeous on the table. Love them!
