it's all about the hospitable home

Setting a Post Thanksgiving Table

Setting a Post Thanksgiving table is usually what I do

when we return from our trip to be with our very large family

and extended family for Thanksgiving.

I love to cook our own turkey so we can have a small family celebration

with leftover turkey  to share.

Although it is so beyond wonderful to celebrate our blessings with my entire family

of siblings, nieces and nephews, their spouses, and my mom ….

I am also very THANKFUL TO bHOME.

The tablescape started with placing a faux Magnolia garland

in the center of the table. The Magnolia garland is from Balsam Hill.

After Thanksgiving,  the garland will grow legs and will walk to another place in the house.

Today, is Day 2 of the bHome “Thankful to bHome” Blog Tour.

I am joining 4 other bHome bloggers and friends today.

You can see the links of today’s participants and also the participants of Day One below.

They are not to miss!! There is also a great giveaway with details at the bottom of the post.

The magnolia garland makes it easy to create a centerpiece

as it provides for a wonderful base to work with.

It is fun to gather items to adorn the garland

using  things such as pumpkins, additional pinecones, wheat stalks, antlers and

wonderful flickering Miracle Flame Candles, also from Balsam Hill.

I am using the same napkins from last year that I had monogramed

to say “Give Thanks”.

I am thankful for the blessings of family.

I tucked the place card into a tiny orange Kalanchoe plant.

Love using things such as a plant for a parting gift.

I was happy to get these sweet tiny orange Kalanchoes at Trader Joe’s.

The perfect punch of color for the table.

I chose orange for an accent color as it goes so well

with the antique blue and white Noritake dishes that I got from my friend Martha. We miss Martha!

I found this beautiful blue and white bowl on the place setting at TJ Maxx along with 3 others.

I loved the pattern and it reminded me of my mother’s rice bowls … when I turned the bowl over

to see who made it ….. I was pleasantly surprised it was from a company in Yokohama, Japan.

A place near and dear to my heart!

I tend to do some “out of the box” things on my table.

Like placing the silverware on a plate.

The table is set that will be waiting for us when we return.

As I sit at the table, I will be thinking in-between table conversations, of how I will

dress the table for Christmas!

And with every table for Thanksgiving that I set, this little Turkey that my Sweetie

made for me many years ago, will always have a place of prominence on the table

by this very sentimental Grandma!

    Pretty table and I love the tiny plants. It’s so sweet that you pull out your granddaughter’s little turkey. I’m sure that brings a smile to her face each year.

    Shirley, what a beautiful table…blue and white is so classic! Magnolia is a favorite of mine to use on the table and the faux garland is perfect. But the most precious is your Sweetie’s turkey!

    I loved the garland you used and small plant from Trader Joe’s to send home with your guests, what a neat idea! Thank you for introducing me to the new site ‘French Garden House’, I could get lost at that site so many wonderful finds to imagine using in our home. I loved the necklaces and the french wicker garden wagon.
    Great idea to preset the table and cross that off to do list! Thank you!

    Such a pretty table! I like the idea of place cards in the small plants. I’ve noticed before that you don’t have a rug under your table. I’ve thought of removing mine so it would be easier to move chairs. Also it seems I’m seeing more blue with accents of orange this year – I really like it. Enjoy your day!

    I love the black and white checked desert set and cake plate. I have a lot of fun black accents in my home and colorful art and accessories to liven up my home. I also live in Indianapolis, Indiana and host an Indy 500 race party every year in which I incorporate black and white checked decorations.

    I also love your beautiful blue and white Thanksgiving table.

    I love your table! You and I were on the same page this year with our blue & white tables. Everything about your table is something I adore. The garland from Balsam Hill {will have to check this out} the little plants, the silverware on a small plate, and last but not least the pinecone turkey.{ I have things like that on my Christmas tree that are my favorites!}

    Thank you so much, Shirley, for all your inspiration. I am so thrilled to be on this Thankful Tour with you. xo Lidy

    Shirley, you’ve set a beautiful table! I have wanted a magnolia garland for so long, and why I won’t splurge to buy it, I don’t know. I can prune branches and use them, but they only last a couple weeks. Your bowls – what a find to add to the elements! The plants, Graylyn’s little turkey, the napkins – all so very pretty. I’m just getting started on visiting this roundup of bloggers, but wanted to be sure and stop by yours. Lidy’s hostess gift is very generous, and I would love adding her napkin rings to my own collection, so that’s what I would grab from her shop. Perfect for tabelscaping! Have a great weekend.
