I have been waiting for this time of week to roll around so I could join Susan for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch. Susan, thank you for hosting my favorite meme.
What is Thanksgiving without a turkey or two or three...
I decided to use orange loosely woven placemats instead of a tablecloth, thinking they would show the plates off better. I had a hard time choosing the napkins, should they be a solid orange or brown or a plaid orange/cream/green. The plaid won out! The turkey napkin holders were a must, when else would I be able to use them?
The dinner and salad plates are Queen's Thanksgiving by Myott Factory. I found these on sale at TJMaxx. I love the muted colors in the plates.
Don't you love those colors?
The place setting includes the dinner and salad plates, tall sherbet, water glass and a small wine glass.
The stemware is hard to see, the water glass is pale lime with an amber stem and orange base, the small wine glass is a darker shade of lime. I do not know the maker or pattern of either.
The sherbets will be used for a pumpkin mousse. I don't know the maker or pattern, haven't had time to look them up.
I am using Oneida Sterling, pattern is Afterglow 1956.
The stuffing will find it's way into the covered white turkey casserole.
Finally, the centerpiece...another covered turkey dish and salt/pepper shakers flanked by some tall candlesticks with short candles. The table is fairly small so there really is no room for flowers. Now I don't have to stand guard over two cats that are obsessed with fresh flowers!
Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog. A special thank you to all who leave a comment, I will reciprocate.

I forgot to add the mini pumpkins and little bouquet of leaves, last night, so here is what the table is supposed to look like!

Beautiful Thanksgiving tablecape, Mimi!! The colors are perfect and need I say that the plates are fantastic! I love the centerpiece, the turkey match the plates so well! You did a really nice job and your guests are going feel so special!
XO,

I agree what a beautiful tablescape. I am collecting those same plates only in the all brown version - they are so pretty in color as well. I love the turkey dish for the stuffing and the centerpiece ones and finding stemware with all those colors is such a great match.
Your silverware is as old as I am, LOL!
I love it. And I just bought some of those salad plates at Marshall's on Friday. They didn't have any of the dinner plates left. Everything looks great and ready for some turkey!
Love your Thanksgiving table, Marigene! Love, love, love those turkey plates! And what a great find on that silverware. I used to find some wonderful things at Goodwill.
Marilyn
You have quite the knack for these things my friend. A beautiful table and it reminds me just how close to Thanksgiving we are!
Outstanding! Love the plates and your turkey collection.

Very festive table! Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow, how do you keep topping every fabulous tablescape? I bet food tastes better at your table with such gorgeous settings. Love, Brenda
Great tablescape. I love the addition of the mini pumpkins. I have the same plates but in pink. I have enough for 24 people. I got them when I was in my "pink" stage. Now I am wishing I had gotten the multi color ones like yours. Oh well. Thanks for sharing your tablescape. And thanks for stopping by my blog & for leaving me a comment.

Those orange placemats are perfect with the pretty Thanksgiving dishes! What cute napkin rings -- I haven't seen any like them. You have a nice collection of turkey-related items!
While I'm not a fan of turkeys (have enough of them in my family and in my work life!! :D), I DO like those plates...very pretty!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Wonderful Thanksgiving table!
What a lovely table for Thanksgiving. I've admired those plates, but don't have any. One day I just might add the salad plates to my stash. ;-)
Your turkeys are wonderful as your centerpiece with those mimi pumpkins. I know your guests are going to enjoy dining at this table.

I really like fun stuff like that for the table! Sorry about your cats' obsession with fresh flowers, but the leaf arrangement totally fills the bill! Have a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving!

Very pretty table. I particularly like those plates. Have a lovely Thanksgiving.
The addition of the pumpkins did add extra pizazz. Don't you hate it when you do things like that? I'm forever forgetting to light the candles.
Your centerpiece is very balanced. Very nice job.
Beautiful!

Come visit any time. Cherry Kay
Your table is absolutely gorgeous. the plaid napkins are perfect. I love those dishes and had to resist very hard to not buy them!!! I love the turkeys as a center piece. You are so right, I have one cat that loves..oh underline loves... fresh flowers..
Mimi, so glad you stopped by my blog today and left a comment, that is how I found your blog. Love your incredibly beautiful thanksgiving dishes, the muted colors are my favorite. I especially noticed the silverware, very reminiscent of my mother's, it was a wedding gift to them in 1950. Anyway, lovely table..and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving guest list to enjoy it.

Oh I just love all those turkeys :) Those plates are gorgeous, it's really making me envious seeing everyone's special dinnerware, I really think one of these years I must splurge and get some (perhaps once my car is paid off!!). Thanks for stopping by. Happy Thanksgiving.

It's beautiful. I love your plates, too. I also liked how you angled your napkin. Very cute.
What a bother for you - to have cats that mess with your fresh flowers. Do they just like to play with them? Makes me smile imagining it all.
Thanks for your visit at Treasuring the Moments.
