Thanksgiving 2016

Due to conflicting schedules and obligations, we had a small Thanksgiving dinner for four. Nonetheless the holiday is a celebration and the tablescape reflects its importance. Modern elements play counterpoint to elegant vintage ware.


Our wedding china which I loved then, and still love, takes center stage, with our sterling silverware collected over the years as supporting players.


An 1850's silverplate dome engraved with intricate leaves joins vintage candlesticks and the delightful glass pumpkins I've been collecting recently.

 
 

 
  

Lovely vintage glassware in hard to find blues echo the color of the china.





Just in case you've forgotten what holiday this is. . .


The buffet continues the Thanksgiving design.



A fabulous antique Japanese obi serves as the base.



  

I hope your Thanksgiving was full of family and friends.  And good food!

    Beautiful table. That dome is amazing! We had the smallest group we have had in years. Only 8 of us, but it was a day full of good company and delicious food! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
