My Thanksgiving Pumpkin Table

17 years ago

Thought I'd share our table from yesterday - I think it turned out pretty well with all the pumpkins and leaves. My mom just couldn't get over it - even with my mis-matched teacups. I had enough apple cups, but they didn't quite match the pumpkins, and I didn't have enough "all white"...so I just went with a different cup at every place.

Here's the whole thing:

A closer view of my center pumpkin (a big tureen):

And a closer view of my place setting (excuse the lack of spoons - they were still in the dishwasher at that point):

A good time was had by all - we did brunch with my parents instead of dinner (they did dinner with my sister later), so we enjoyed the table twice - once with them for brunch, and later on for our own smaller turkey dinner. :-)

Jamie, Before I comment on everything on your beautiful table I want to say how beautiful your dining room table and chairs are. Just gorgeous. I don't know what to say first about your beautiful table setting. I love everything. I love the tablerunner mixed with the napkins and the leaf place mats. And I love all of the pumpkins in your centerpiece and your pumpkin plates. Everything is put together just perfectly. Those candlesticks are very pretty also.

Thanks, all. My mom made the table runner for me a long time ago (before I had that table), and I've always loved it. Had to have the placemats when I saw them at Kmart this fall...

Thanks, Sandi. I fell in love with that dining set at first sight, and had to have it. We bought the set the day we got married - first thing I signed my married name to. :-)

Your whole table looks very pretty, all goes together so well. I have those same placemats, but found them at a yard sale last year & love them. They look & feel like suede!

Darn it!

I saw those placemats 50% off the other day and didn't get them because I wasn't sure I would like them. But, I love them on your table! I hate it when that happens.

Very unusual design on the pumpkin plates. First time I've seen ones with a neat swirl. And that big pumpkin tureen is cool. Wonderful table. I still need to get some fall colored glasses.

Love the history of your table and chairs. Glad your Mom appreciated your pretty table.

I agree, lovely table and chair set, and how neat that they were your first purchase as a new Mrs. ;o) Your runner with the pretty pumkins and candles looks really nice together. And your green plates along with the cute pumpkin ones just go with it perfectly. Glad you got to enjoy it twice. TFS. Luvs
