Turkey Tabletop

The turkeys have landed just in time for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.

In the kitchen~



On the mantle~



In the dining room~





And on the tabletop!



Shall we take advantage of all the November sunshine that pours inside now that the leaves are down?











Now we'll turn the flash back on so you can see some of the great details on these pieces.







I do love acorns!







This tabletop for giving thanks includes Fiesta dinnerware plates, tumblers and a disk pitcher with the HLCCA exclusive Retro Red Stripe treatment, a prep bowl in chocolate and a divided serving bown in scarlet. Villeroy and Boch Boston glassware, vintage Bakelite flatware, chocolate napkins, turkey plates from the Christmas Tree Shop, a contemporary covered casserole and acorn salt & pepper shakers complete the tablescape.

Thanksgiving at my house is always an evolving affair with the final numbers changing right up until I set the table. Watch this space for a second acorn and turkey table in a totally different colorway...I have to keep a 'scape waiting in the wings for this holiday!

  5. What a collection you have! I've never seen plates shaped like turkeys as you've used for salad plates. That tablecloth is marvelous -- perfect for fall!

  6. I love the retro red rings on the Fiestaware. It looks like it came from a diner I used to eat at (when I was little) on my way home from San Francisco to the Oregon border. I like that tablecloth too.
    You are certainly acquiring a great collection.

  7. Hey neighbor ;), Love love the turkeys. I told my husband a long time ago that one day I would have room to store dishes for every occasion, and I think I will have to have turkey plates!

    I also am a sucker for the vintage linens, they are addicting!

  12. Morning Daphne!

    Love your little acorn shakers! Very similar to the set I got at Ace Hardware of all places! All of your turkeys seem to be getting along and make for a truly wonderful 'scape!

    PS Am saving some of the "verification" words .... they are just too comical not to bring into use. My last one was "jualmuga"

    "Would you like a glass of jualmuga with your turkey dinner?"

  13. This could go on and on.....

    THE PERFECT word for me with my Pepsi addiction -

    "epepsi"

    I think it must some kind of new virtual colorie free Pepsi ???

    I'm done, unless the next one is equally amusing.

  15. I love all your dishes. I thought of this post when I found a Scarlet teapot at the Macy's here in El Paso. They never have any accessories like this here. I really enjoy your blog.
