Delphinium, Your Thanksgiving table is so elegant. I love it. Everything is so very pretty, the leaf plates, beaded placemats, little pilgrims. And I love your silver. I know yall will really enjoy sitting at such a pretty table. Happy Thanksgiving.

It looks so pretty. Love the leaf plates with the charges and the beaded place mats and acorns. I need to get some acorns.

It's just beautiful...I especially love the leaf plates!

I LOVE the leaf plates. Where on earth did you get them? I feel a shopping trip coming on.

Your centerpiece is wonderful, and I too really love those leaf plates. The design in the tablecloth and those beaded placemats just look so elegant. Beautiful table, hope you and your family really enjoyed it. Luvs

I took one look at this table , showed it to DH, and said,"This is out of my league".

So very elegant and dramatic. PERFECT

I totally agree with all the others....
such an elegant setting, and the leaf plates are wonderful.
Another photo for our tablescape album for sure!

Thank you for all your nice comments. This was a fun table to put together using pieces I have gathered over the last 32 years. Obviously I don't throw anything out! The brown goblets were my registry choice for my wedding 32 years ago. Remember the 70's and everything brown? The gold chargers were Target clearance about 18 years ago. The gold leaf glasses were thrift store finds about the same time. The beaded placemats and leaf plates were TJ finds last year. The s&p's I've picked up over the years at after holiday clearance. The copper colander I used for the centerpiece was a GS find. I had wanted to use a real pumpkin hollowed out for my vase but none to be found in the grocery the night before Thanksgiving. My favorite piece was my "tablecloth". I found that Sunday at Hancocks (fabric store) on the 50% off remnant table. I placed it diagonally over the table and didn't even hem it. I just "fringed" the cut ends. I decided I wanted something paisley from doing the lessons in Judith's class. I would not have used as many layers before doing her assignments. It's fun to combine all the different elements. Previously I would not have thought to combine the gold chargers with the copper beaded placemats but I liked how it turned out. Now......on to the serious holiday decorating!!!

I was just going to post that I really love that paisley tablecloth. It's really wonderful, and brings everything together. Great job...the dishes are wonderful too.

Delphinium, I'm glad you described the items you used on your table. I didn't see that your floral container was a copper colander. Now THAT is an original idea and one I hope to borrow (as soon as I find a copper colander). The paisley fabric you used for your tablecloth is a perfect match and getting it for 50% off was a great deal. It is truly a beautiful table.

Very pretty! I love the leaf plates too!
Yes, I was a bride of the 70's! My Mikassa kitchen dishes were brown with a zig zagged color edge...brown and gold!
And let's not forget orange...I still have some towels I use for rags..orange..but they sure lasted then!
The table looks very elegant!

Beautiful...just beautiful!

Wow!! Another lovely table. I think the copper colander worked out very nice and has a nice shine to tie into all your place settings. I like everything about your table... very elegant and simply beautiful.
