Whew, how did November come, and now it is mid-November? I have always wanted to take a picture of my Thanksgiving table with the turkey on the table, and it finally happened! I love setting a Thanksgiving table, the fall colors are just so warm and inviting.
The star of the table, of course, are these turkey plates by Myott. I love them! I bought some, and my sister Jacqueline gave me some, so I have salad and dinner plates for twelve.
I bought these compote dishes from a Christmas Tree store in Virginia. I think they were thirty-nine cents! The napkin holders add some bling; I won them from Kathleen in my early days of blogging. I tucked a fall pick in for extra color.
Just a side view of the table. The chargers were on discount at Wal-Mart many years ago, but I think they still have them.
This turkey server was on our Thanksgiving table when I was young. It is perfect for holding stuffing.
Just a view through a bubbly glass.
Just one more view of the napkin.
And the moment I have been waiting for....the turkey. Okay, so the turkey doesn't look like Southern Living, but I love finally getting a shot of my turkey with my table. Usually, we just dive in and eat before I can get photos taken.
I hope you are able to share time with your loved ones this Thanksgiving!

Love your turkey plates. Such a pretty table. I. Excited for Thanksgivng. It's my favorite holiday.
ReplyDeleteThe plates are so great. I was looking for mine and can't find them. I am missing awhile box of Thanksgiving things - which I discovered by looking at some of my past tables. Probably hiding behind Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about that beautiful turkey serving bowl. Wouldn't Mother have loved all of the beautiful dishes and serving ware we have today? Glad you got a picture of your turkey. I agree - it is usually carved in the kitchen and no photos!
So beautiful...those napkin holders pulled me into the table...the tones are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks and have a wonderful day.
Pretty table! Love how you did the napkins on the compotes. The turkey looks delicious. I know what you mean about getting a picture of it. By the time you're able to cut it up all the other food is ready and waiting and everyone is hungry! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Joni. I love that turkey tureen. The table is set beautifully and those chargers are quite awesome. One cannot have enough dishware...LOL The turkey looks delicious. I hope you and yours have a fabulous Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteGood to find you here. I've been away from blog world for a while, and it's good to be back. The Myott Turkey plates are charming, and I also won the beaded napkin rings from Kathleen. I've used them quite often. Adding the berry pick to them is a great idea. I love that you got the picture of that turkey...indeed quite a feat! Thanks for inviting us for a peek. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteJoni, I love your Myott dishes and your cute napkin rings. Your mother's turkey is nice too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving. We've been around a long time haven't we?
