THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPE REVISITED


I've been thinking about what I want to do for Thanksgiving so I have been looking back at some of my past Thanksgiving table settings. One of my favorites was using my Booths Real Old Willow, pumpkins and roses. I haven't decided yet but I need to get busy, I love to set things up early and enjoy. Hope you enjoy taking a stroll back to an earlier posting while I decide how I want to set my Thanksgiving table.

Thanksgiving Tablescape



Thanksgiving is my favorite time to set a table with my collection of Booths Real Old Willow by Royal Daulton. I set a coffee service on the sideboard in the dining room early this year, it was a time saver with family coming the weekend before Thanksgiving. This year I added natural materials from the yard and a Fairytale pumpkin hollowed out for the centerpiece.  The pumpkin is a pale shade of pink so I added pink roses for a different look and I loved it! I decided to leave the table set to enjoy throughout the weekend. 


















For the centerpiece I started with a moss covered runner down the center of the table. Gathering natural materials from my yard and using tiny salt and pepper animals created a natural look I was going for.




Scooping out the pumpkin and adding the roses, then placing the pumpkin lid back for a natural and finished look.










A post from the past! It helps to remind me how much I enjoyed creating this table setting.  I appreciate you taking your time to stop by. I hope you leave a comment, it's the only way I know you were here. Happy November!

  4. Emily, I love the blue in the china with the orange of the pumpkins and roses. Elegant but not trite. And your woodland creatures on the moss are wonderful! It's hard to believe you might change this for Thanksgiving!

  5. Your china pattern is so pretty. I'm trying to decide how to decorate, too.....
    I'm thinking about enjoying tablescapes in the breakfast room and dining room, and then the week of Thanksgiving changing them out. ;P

    I really like the moss runner and how you put everything together on your table, The centerpiece is so pretty!

  6. Emily, I remember this beautiful table setting. The Booths Real Old Willow is such a gorgeous pattern. I love the soft color of the pumpkin and the pink roses. It's a perfect pairing and your little woodland scene is charming. We will have Thanksgiving at a friend's home this year, so I won't set a table. I think I may play with my dishes though, just for fun. Thanks for sharing this look back. It was a treat!

  7. Emily, this china is beautiful! You know I love tablescaping and this was perfect timing while planning ahead for Thanksgiving. Though I won't be hosting (at least I don't think I will be, long story), a table presentation like this would really make me or ANY guest feel special. That gold rim on the Old Willow is outstanding. I think you should repeat this one!

  8. Hi Emily! Your china pieces are just beautiful and I love the tea set service on your buffet. The painting above the buffet just adds to the beauty.
    Your Connor's picture on the sidebar is so cute. My, how he's growing! My Connor will be 17 next week...hard to believe!

  15. I just love going through my old tablescapes too. Sometimes I am amazed that I created something that cool! I have to laugh at that, because I was there and did it, but sometimes I am blown away as I look back at the pictures. The Old Willow is a stunning pattern. What a pretty table it made with the naturals! Have a lovely Thanksgiving.
