The Thanksgiving Table: Elements Of Style

 

I like to treat my guests not only to a good meal, but a beautiful table. It always makes them feel special. And no matter how your food turns out, a terrific tablescape camouflages everything. Here are some stylish elements that will help create your 
own look.

~ Lovely Linens ~
Linens set the tone for your table. To me, they are the most important part of a tablescape. Here's some pretty picks.

Kim Seybert Ethereal Placemat & Napkins
Inspired by watercolor painting, Kim has taken silver and gold bugle beads and created art for your table. The matching linen napkins create a stunning natural look.

Artesia Placemats
If you prefer to set a casual table, these are wonderful, sophisticated, and affordable, too. 

Villeroy & Boch Brushstroke
Linens
 Linen napkins and placemats have been treated with metallics for a elevated look to any table. Also available in silver. Now on sale at...

Joanna Buchanan Linens
Don't be afraid to take a deep dive into color any time of the year. Joanna knows how to do it. Get the look below.
Hand Beaded Camouflage Placemats


~ Candlelight ~
A table without candlelight is like a a day without wine. It's doable but not as wonderful. Besides, everyone looks better in candlelight. These candles will set your table and your guests aglow.

Fall Colored Tapers Set Of 12
Imagine your table with the warmth of candles in seasonal colors. The tapers are tiny in width but 10 inches tall. Just perfect in a grouping. At less than $18 they make a great host gift, too.
Williams Sonoma

Hand-Dipped Taper Candle, Set of 2

Traditional elegance. Long burning and smokeless now on major sale. Choose ivory or white.

Antigua Single Wick Pillar Candles
How gorgeous! The saturated colors will add a pop to your table. Handmade and perfect alone or inside a glass hurricane. Priced from $8 - $38

Birch Log Taper Holder
Bring the outside in, and add a natural element to your tabletop.

~ Serving ~
Details always count. These serving pieces are not only practical but pretty, too!

Marble Cake Stands
Though they are said to be used for cakes, as you can see, anything will look special when presented on one of these. Pie perfect, too!

Sauce Server
I have several "so called" gravy boats, but none are glass. For a big dinner you could use this server in multiples. One for gravy, one for cranberry sauce, one for the caramel sauce that goes with the apple pie. 

The House of Scalamandré Oval Platter
I thought that this Scalamandré line of dishware was so pretty that I included it in the Perfect Presents For Entertainers gift guide. Wouldn't your Thanksgiving Turkey or Holiday Ham look fabulous on it? Sold only at...  

Botanical Serving Utensils
Together these shiny servers are perfect for salads. Used individually, they work for the mashed potatoes or Brussel sprouts.

~ Oven To Table Cookware ~  
Unless you are plating from the closed off kitchen, your cookware does make a difference. Those disposable aluminum cooking containers aren't so appealing on a buffet or dining table. Food just looks better when pleasantly presented. 

MacKenzie-Childs Cookware
Chic checks are so good in a black and white kitchen, These also would accent white or black table linens. Really fabulous!

Le Creuset Dutch Oven
Aren't these lovely? They go from oven to table to freezer. And this specific shade with gold knobs is a Crate and Barrel exclusive. Many other shades available, as well.
Crate and Barrel

Staub Pumpkin Cocotte
Serve almost anything in this perfect pumpkin. I own the smaller ones, which are not available. Pumpkin Soup anyone? It will serve sweet potatoes just as well.

Boska Oven-to-Table Ceramic Baker
What a handy and beautiful little baker. Perfect for those warm cheese dips. But also great on a buffet to keep the veggies and potatoes warm. It features an under $25 price tag, which makes it even more appealing. I can see several all lined up.

Countdown To Thanksgiving: Talking Turkey


When it comes to cooking a turkey, I like to mix it up each year. If you do, as well, take a peek at these yummy recipes. They are quite unique.  And for good measure I have added a few "must have" turkey tools. Always remember to add a pinch of love to whichever recipe you choose.


Herb & Butter Turkey
Tieghan calls this recipe perfection. It's simple. The only thing "fancy" about it is the use of a cheesecloth. I have used this method several times, and it works. 

Turkey Forks
Something I don't have in my kitchen. If you cook many roasts or turkeys, you need these.

Bacon Wrapped Turkey With Mustard & Tarragon Butter
First of all, the recipe calls for free range or organic turkey. I personally wouldn't eat any other kind of turkey. It's beautiful to look at, and I imagine quite juicy.

Digital Instant-Read Pen Thermometer
A necessary tool for turkey roasting! Best yet, this is on sale now at

Pastrami Style Grilled Turkey Breast
What an interesting recipe. You will need some unusual equipment, too: 
A spice mill or a mortar and pestle; a chimney starter and smoking chips. Here's hoping for a good weather day.

Bourbon Glazed Turkey 
I have done this, and it is so so good. Add another splash to the gravy and you have one special meal. The color of your bird will never look better.
