Thanksgiving is just a few days away and I am working out a menu for the Thanksgiving meal in my house! While the menu is still a work in progress, I am toying with a few simple ideas for my table setting!
I wanted to create something small and simple for my table. Things that you can dig out from your china cabinet are always fun. A few fresh flowers and some tea lights and voila...... you are getting a peak into what my table might look like on Thursday :)
I have used my Great Grandfather's soup bowl as a vase. Yes, it does look like a tea cup but it is actually a soup bowl and has handles on both sides. This soup bowl is part of a Royal Cauldon dinner set bought in England by my Great Grandfather in the 1930's. It is my pride and joy :)
The antique kidney shaped side plates are perfect trays for my tea lights :)
The fresh flowers have similar hues to the flower motifs on the plate.
The tea light holders will of course be lit :)
I quite like the orange and blue tones......what do you think ?
I like that my table will have a touch of history. The blend of the old and the new. While, I want to create my own traditions with my children. I would like them to grow up respecting and cherishing the things that have been passed down generations!
