THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPE {2012}



I spent some time playing with a Thanksgiving tablescape over the weekend.  My theme was Rustic Glitz and Glam- yes I just made that up.



I saw some gold branches on Pinterest and knew that I wanted to use those, and everything else came together from there.




If you've been a reader for a while, you've probably seen all of these things around my house before.  The shutters were on my mantel last Fall, the feathers and basket were in my Fall decorations last year, and I used the bird nests on my Easter table for the centerpiece.  I like to try to use what I have in different ways.










The basket seemed a little plain.  If this was 5 years ago, I would have tied a bow around it and called it good.  But this time I thought a belt would be a nice twist, and a little bit of leopard never hurts anything!  One of my daughter's old belts was the perfect size.





A few night shots because I was being a geek wanna-be photographer...one word: tripod.  It's crucial. 











We drink "Bubble Pop" (the kids' name for sparkling grape juice) at our special family occasions, and these are my favorite hobnail (candlewick?) glasses to use.  I'm always on the hunt for more.








We're having our Thankgiving meal at my in-laws this year, so I guess my family will have a fancy dinner tonight!

    1. Tronng văn phòng công ty với mỗi phòng ban đều có những chức năng công việc khác nhau cho nên việc lựa chọn mua bàn làm việc cao cấp cũng hòa toàn khác nhau tùy vào mục đích sử dụng của văn phòng. Cho nên việc lựa chọn mua sản phẩm nội thất văn phòng như bàn, ghế, tủ… đều phải có sự thống nhất và dựa vào không gian văn phòng làm việc mà lựa chọn được mẫu sản phẩm cho phù hợp nhất. Hiện nay trên thị trường nội thất có rất nhiều sản phẩm bàn văn phòng giá rẻ tphcm khác nhau nhiều giá, mẫu mã và chức năng.
      Bàn làm việc văn phòng cho nhân viên thì phụ thuộc vào diện tích khá nhiều. Những chiếc bàn làm việc đơn có hộc sẽ được sử dụng cho những căn phòng rộng để giúp mỗi người có một khoảng làm việc riêng và cũng để văn phòng không bị trống trải. Tuy nhiên, ở những thiết kế nội thất văn phòng hiện đại đề cao tính gắn kết nên lại chọn những kiểu bàn làm việc văn phòng giá rẻlớn dạng đôi để tập trung từng nhóm nhân viên lại với nhau.

  7. Soooo pretty and very eclectic! That's my term for "different and gorgeous". :) Seriously, I would never think to use the belt and fabric like that. Bird nests are perfect for the table settings and I love the shutters. Great job!

  9. Your tablescapes are always such a treat to see, Jennifer! I love this one - the texture, the natural elements, and the pop of color. (Oh and the belt! That is so fun and unique!)
    Thanks for the inspiration - I am looking forward to "playing" with my table this weekend in preparation for Thanksgiving.

  10. Jennifer, I have the same hobnail glasses which were my grandmother's and they too will be on our Thanksgiving table. The photo of your table by candle light is stunning.

  11. Your tabletop is beautiful. where do you find Pheasant feathers? I have search for them and all I can find are pics at Michaels and they don't work.

    1. Hi there! I buy my feathers at Hobby Lobby. They are in the craft section and come in a package of three. Good luck!

  12. WHAT? All that gorgeousness and it's NOT for Thanksgiving dinner? Hope you ate more than Friday night pizza on it...though the kids would probably think that's funny.

    You did a beautiful, beautiful job. Stunning. Come decorate for my Thanksgiving table? :) It's not my strong suit.

    Tripod = best friend. (Love the night shots.)

    By the way, I meant to comment on this post the other day, but I didn't have time to read the whole post (I just skimmed the first couple of pics). I immediately had this thought: Have you ever considered writing a design book (filled with photos, of course)? Jennifer, you seriously have so many wonderful, beautiful, simple yet stunning ideas (and affordable from everything I've seen!)...you need to share them more than just here. I think you'd be great. You're truly blessed with this gift. :)
