CLASSIC WARM PINE AND FEATHER THANKSGIVING TABLE

One week and counting!  I can't believe Thanksgiving is just a week away.  We will not be gathering at our house but my kids will be home from college tomorrow so I wanted to set a nice Fall table for us to enjoy through next week anyway.  Who says you can't just have waffles or tacos with your table set for Thanksgiving?!? 😆

This was actually one of the quickest tables I've put together, I used things I already had on hand for the whole thing.  I wanted my table this year to have a super classic, warm, traditional but not boring Thanksgiving feel.  

I started the centerpiece with a picnic basket that I picked up from a vintage mall several months ago and a grapevine pumpkin (it's kind of hard to tell what it is in the photos!).  Then I spread some faux long needle pine branches, I would have used real ones if I had a long needle pine tree to cut from.

A former next door neighbor gave me this pheasant pelt years ago and I love having it displayed in the Fall, the colors and details in the feathers are magnificent.  It fit right in.

Lastly, I mixed in some large acorns that I've had for a few years (I think I got them from At Home and did paint them) and some large sugar pine cones.  If you don't have a spot to find those for free I pick up a bag at Hobby Lobby every year.  They are with Christmas- usually on the aisle with all of the Christmas candles and you can't beat the price.  There's also a good selection available here. 

For my dishes, I chose to use my green chargers, spotted dinner plates, and Friendly Village salad plates in the mix- it doesn't seem like Fall without them! Enjoying the new darker color of this faux bamboo flatware that I got recently, it's a bargain for 4 place settings.

I'm convinced that these cute spotted dishes go with pretty much anything!  I've mixed them with everything from solids to bright colors to a variety of other patterns.  They're great quality, so affordable, and come in blue now too!

I layered everything on my Bordallo Pinheiro chargers that I found years and years ago at Ross.  I'm so glad I rounded those up way back then, these chargers are hard if not impossible to find anywhere now.  There are a few beautiful Bordallo styles available such as these and these but they are pricey- would be investment pieces for sure!  You could get a similar look with these more affordable chargers, or even round placemats would work!

I finished things off by tying the napkins with a velvet ribbon bow (Hobby Lobby Fall ribbon).

I shared those great LED taper candles with you recently and I'm definitely using those this season, but there's just something about real candlelight on a dinner table!  I just made sure that the candles were totally clear of any surrounding parts and pieces of the wild centerpiece. 

I hope you all have a meaningful Thanksgiving next week as we all reflect and focus on all we have to be grateful for, excited to have some of my blessings sitting around this table soon!
