Happy Tuesday Friends! Welcome to the Gather 'Round the Table Thanksgiving Tablescapes and Dining Rooms Blog Hop hosted by the gracious Amber, at Follow the Yellow Brick Home. As Thanksgiving is sometimes overlooked in the rush toward the Christmas season, I'm excited to celebrate the significant holiday with lovely inspiration from my blogger friends. If you dropped by after visiting Judith at Botanic Bleu, I know you were inspired by her elegant French tablescape....
I'm not a stickler when it comes to traditional colors associated with seasons and holidays. I tend to lean toward what inspires me, and when I scored these beautiful vintage green transferware dishes at one of my favorite thrift stores a few weeks ago, inspiration struck!
I've paired fresh rosemary arranged in one of my favorite vintage containers--a repurposed shoe shine box--with faux eucalyptus draped along my grain sack stripe table runner.
Each place setting features tiny cornucopias filled with fresh thyme, pretty green ticking napkins that were a bargain find at Homegoods, vintage gold flatware, and my final purchase from Smitten before it changed owners, these sweet merci stamped tags--perfect for Thanksgiving. {Order fresh herbs for Thanksgiving by NOV 14, here!}
I layered my beautiful English transferware with chalk painted chargers, and rustic natural placemats. The vintage crystal goblets are from my thrifted collection. Peeking from the right corner is my ever-evolving brown transferware collection.
It's a thrifted collection that has continued to grow as I find pieces here and there. {You can see more details, here!}
Here's a view of the gallery wall and Thanksgiving mantel that I shared last week.
In that post, I highlighted the pretty Gather sign I bought 75% off from Kirklands with my birthday money. I found this Always be grateful sign the same day for just $5!
Here's a closer look at the mantel...
...and the other lovely clearance art, and
a peek through the chandy over my dining table.
I bought my harvest farmhouse dining table locally and new, almost 30 years ago. It's been painted several different colors over the years, but I still adore it. Several years ago, I traded the original rustic benches for French dining chairs to complement the rest of my decor.
Thanks for dropping by! Next up is Katie, from Just Add Sprinkles--I know you'll love her charming style! Follow the rest of the hop by clicking on the links at the bottom of the post.
Very pretty, Cecilia! Love the napkins and rosemary on the table with those pretty plates you found. I was hoping to see you use them in a tablescape.
ReplyDeleteYou are blowing my mind with this green transferware pattern, Cecilia! It's beautiful. I love the way you added all of the natural accents to your tablescape and how you used the stripe napkins as well. The little cornucopias are too cute. Happy Thanksgiving, CoCo

Cecilia,
ReplyDeleteHerbs are just the finishing touch for your green-inspired Thanksgiving table. The little cornucopias filled with herbs go so well with your green-striped napkins and thrifted plates. I enjoyed your table!
Happy Thanksgiving,
Judith
Cecilia, those dishes were a real find, and how well they go with the herbs! Wherever did you find tiny cornucopias? My dining room table features a massive one, and I'd love to compliment it with tiny ones at each place setting. What I love most is your re-purposed show-shine box as a centerpiece. Great hopping with you!
ReplyDeleteYou've created a lovely and cozy Thanksgiving table Cecilia. Those green plates are gorgeous! I love how you incorporated the fresh herbs on your table. Such a great idea! And those darling little cornucopias are too cute.
