Thanksgiving Tablescape

This tablescape is going to go into the record books as one of my favorites. Why? Because, my wish came true. My dear mother-in-law helped to put it together!
Thanksgiving Tablescape
I already knew which dishes I wanted to use for the table. They were a recent daily deal purchase from Wayfair.com

Sometimes when you order online you aren't sure if they will look like the photo on the website but, these were true to the picture and I knew they would be perfect for my Thanksgiving tablescape.

The chargers are a recent buy from Hobby Lobby and go with the dishes so well.

I wrapped the rust napkins around the plates and set the bowl on top.

The flatware is from Target. The leaves on the handle are what caught my eye and what made them jump into my cart.

The amber Goodwill goblets add the right amount of class and sparkle.

As do the silver pumpkin etched votives scattered around the table.

It was while I was hunting down the votives that my mother-in-law added her touch to the table we will share this year. She shopped the house and I found her placing various ceramic pumpkin bowls to the center of the table.

They were, of course the perfect pieces!

She even helped to place the flatware just so. Our first, of many I know, table set together.

All that was left for me to add was the cornucopia in the center and the table was set.

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for her living with us, my sons and their families, and always, I am thankful for Mr. B for being a wonderful husband and a caring son.  In just a few days, my belly will be as full as my heart is right now!

  10. You're so lucky to have "help" with your decorating lol. She really does have good taste! Your table is lovely. I love the chargers. Are they made of wood? They look like they're made of distressed wood, which is right down my alley! Have a great Thanksgiving!

  20. What a great tablescape and your lovely message. The love of your MIL is so special and wonderful to read. Glad the table is lovely with all the fall touches and the pretty new brown china. I have been absent awhile for our 12 year old collie became deathly ill a few days after we brought home a new collie puppy. Thanks to our vet our 12 year old is back to normal. I am now able to comment and begin training our puppy!

    Thanks, Pam.
