Thanksgiving Sideboard

I showed you my Rustic Thanksgiving Table yesterday 

with the Vintage Walnut frames used as chargers.  

I am really trying to keep things simple for Thanksgiving.  

I tend to go overboard at Christmas 

so I have to save my energy!  

So in keeping with the simple and rustic look here is my sideboard all dressed for Turkey Day.

I placed some green apples in a silver bowl and embellished them with some evergreens from the yard.  

I love simple things like this that make a big impact.  

And who is this photo bombing my apple shot?  

It's Mr. Pheasant from the Mission Road Antique Mall. 

 I went one Sunday with my BFF and 

we strolled around and had lunch there.  

They make the most fantastic Turkey sandwich 

with cranberry sauce!  YUM!  

He was the only thing that I brought home that day.  

Isn't he cute?  

I placed him in front of my Vintage Turkey Platter.  

There are no markings on the back of the platter that was handed down to me from a dear family friend.  

I have had it at least 20+ years 

so that alone makes it Vintage right? 

I used my silver candlesticks from Nell Hills with the chunky Autumn colored candles that I found at Pottery Barn.  

Three acorns on steroids are casually hanging out in front of the candles.  Are those not the Biggest Acorns you have ever seen?  Hobby Lobby must juice those babies up before they put them on the shelves.  

I really like the way that this grouping coordinates with my landscape paintings.  Maybe I am just a Fall kind of Gal!  

Thank you for all of your kind comments on my Rustic Thanksgiving Table!  

I read each and every one and try to respond in kind.  

Until Next Time,

Thanksgiving Table (pre-blogging)

Can you believe that in a month it will be my one year Blogging Anniversary?  

WOW!!!

I have had so much fun blogging and getting to know so many great bloggers out there!  

Before blogging I would create tables for Holidays and take pictures for my files and send them to family and friends.  

I'm sure they are happy now that I have a 

more creative outlet!  

Here is last years Thanksgiving Table...

It was a traditional table done in creams 

and browns and golds.  

I love the muted tones with my chair fabric.  

I think that we were having a quiet Thanksgiving that year with only immediate family.  

I'm sure you have seen these wood chargers in some of my other tablescapes.  I bought them a few years ago at Stein Mart.  The lacy bone china is Lenox Opal Innocence with a Churchill "Vintage Game" salad plate from Tuesday Morning.  These plates reminded me of the Spode pattern that I covet and dream about.   The little squirrels are from Pottery Barn and of course they needed some acorns to gather so I had strewn them about on the table.   I tied up a soft brown napkin with a sheer ribbon and placed it on the edge.

I love this picture!  

I can see the sun setting through the window 

in the Living Room.  

The gold runner is just a remnant that I had left over from someone's drapes.  

I can see now that the fabric and the candle holders from the grocery store and the lantern all repeat a diamond pattern.  

I know that you have seen these lanterns a time or two!!!  

I noticed that I did the exact same thing inside the lantern this year without even remembering.  

They say your memory is the first to go...

Well, I guess you can't go wrong sticking a pumpkin inside on a candlestick with a grapevine on the bottom.  

I'm still in love with that bird ribbon today!

Siver Stag candle holders from Tuesday Morning anchor the table on each end.  

My Buffet was decked out in the Traditional colors of Fall.  

My Turkey Platter always makes an appearance 

this time of year.  

He was passed to me by a dear family friend of my mother's.  Sweet Bea knew how much I loved to entertain 

so she gifted it to me.  

A fall wreath tucked behind 

really makes Mr. Turkey's feathers pop.  

The coffee platter has been Fallen upon!  

I remember cutting this branch in it's fall splendor.  

I was so pleased when the colors stayed.  

Last year was such a pretty Fall!  

I hope you enjoyed my look back at Thanksgiving 2011!

Until Next Time,
