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.
The 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.
I 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.
Thanks 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!
Beautiful 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.
Good 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
Joni, I love your Myott dishes and your cute napkin rings. Your mother's turkey is nice too.
Have a great Thanksgiving. We've been around a long time haven't we?
