Friday Favorites – Vintage Turkey Plates and Platters

Friday Favorites – Vintage Turkey Plates and Platters

  Thanksgiving is one of my absolute favorite holidays, probably second only to Christmas. I love cooking (and eating ๐Ÿ˜‰ ), and tablescaping, so it’s custom made for me! But what I love most is that it’s our only truly American holiday. And because it’s not religious, nearly everyone celebrates it. It’s unifying spirit, as well as the pause it gives us to say thank you for all we have… well, it has my heart. I don’t know when I fell in love with the idea of turkey patterns, specifically vintage turkey plates and platters, but probably somewhere around the time I got into collecting different plates for the holidays. I love how sweet and old-fashioned they are. And really, there isn’t much “decor” to be found for Thanksgiving, and this gives me something to display that I love!   They’re fun to collect, and utterly charming, which is why I find I buy a few more each year. But I figure that’s good, right? Eventually when I have children who have spouses and maybe even grandchildren, I’ll have enough so that we can all use them around a huge Thanksgiving dinner table ๐Ÿ™‚  

This year I displayed my Williams Sonoma turkey platter on the kitchen mantel. This platter is not vintage, but it does have a vintage feel and it was on sale, so I couldn’t resist! I linked some similar ones below since this is now sold out. read more

Neutral Fall Tablescape

Neutral Fall Tablescape

Today I wanted to share with you the neutral fall tablescape I did as my guest post last week!   Tablescaping is one of my favorite things to do. I think because I love having dinner parties and hosting friends, decorating the table has been something that has come about naturally as a part of that. If you struggle with table setting or just love it and are looking for more ideas, you should check out my free e-book which has twelve pretty (and easy!) tablescapes – one for each month of the year!   This table was created around these gorgeous green pumpkins I found! I was inspired to create a table that was soft, and yet still translated that “fall feeling.”         This neutral fall tablescape started in my head the day I found these pheasant plates at Home Goods and fell in love. Though I try not to buy too many seasonal dishes, I loved these too much to resist them! One trick that I like to do is to buy one or two new styles of plate each year, but instead of buying a whole set, I buy only the dessert/salad plate.       It works really well for me as all of my other dishes are white or cream. This way I can layer whatever seasonal plate I’ve chosen and mix it in with all of my white dishes and vintage ironstone. And another plus (at least for me) is that then there are not large sets of dishes to store! It’s pretty easy to store just 8 little salad plates and I love the way they completely change the table.         The plates are primarily brown and green, so I chose to emphasize the green and kept the table fairly neutral. I used those white and pale green pumpkins I found, along with seeded eucalyptus and some dried hydrangeas from my garden.     This table would be great for an early fall dinner party or event, but it works equally well for Thanksgiving. And if you wanted to add some more traditional fall colors, you could switch out the napkins for brown or rust, and change some of the green pumpkins to orange.

Spooky Chic Halloween Tablescape in Black and Silver

Spooky Chic Halloween Tablescape in Black and Silver

For the most part, I usually only decorate for Halloween outside. Well, until last year, that is. It all started when I purchased the cutest Halloween plates on sale from Williams Sonoma! I fell in love with them, and used them in last year’s Halloween tablescape. And because that was so fun, and also because I wanted to use them again, I decided to do another one this year. read more

Fall Tablescape with Willow Pumpkin and Wild Flowers

Fall Tablescape with Willow Pumpkin and Wild Flowers

The other day I realized I had been so busy all summer that I hadn’t done a tablescape since July 4th! I do usually like to toy around with tablescape ideas at least a couple of times a month. Not only for fun, but also so that when we entertain I have something prepared beforehand. I adore doing them; it’s kind of a fun, creative outlet for me. If you love them too, be sure to check out my free e-book with twelve pretty and easy tables – one for each month of the year! read more
