Who Doesn't Like Lavender and Lime?

This week I decided to do something which I could use lavender from the front yard as the centerpiece...hunted through the dishes and linens to see if there was anything compatible. I found a table runner and napkins with the same colors. The plates, I found tucked into the corner of the dish armoire. I had forgotten about the lavender charger plates I found last fall at Goodwill.

The lime green and white placemats are some that Kathleen of Cuisine Kathleen sent me a couple months ago. I have been itching to use them in a Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch.

The placesetting consists of the lavender charger, a white dinner plate, salad plate, dessert plate and a white and plum saucer which we will use for the rolls.

The saucer has a tiny fruit center.

The glassware is a water/iced tea and a wine stem in amethyst.

Plate rims.

Lavender centerpiece.

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!
