A Tale of Two Tables *plus* a Winner

Thursday, November 9, 2017






Happy Thursday, My Sweet Bloggy Friends!  I've fluffed Chez Treleaven for Thanksgiving, and as I promised in Monday's post, here are this year's Thanksgiving tablescapes.

The Breakfast Room












The pumpkins are tea light holders.























One thing that's unusual about this tablescape (for me) is that I have many candles, but no flowers.  I was trying for a more rustic look in our kitchen.

Nothing is new on the table except for the ceramic pumpkin tea light holders and the spice crochet-trimmed napkins, both from Pier1.



The Dining Room

























Our dining room is much more feminine.  Nothing new other than the goose plates and leaf napkins, both from Pier1.  (Can you tell I had Pier1 gift cards?)

I pulled elements from the archives that looked nice with the plates, like the MacKenzie-Childs dinner plates and table runner.  I placed roses and blooming oregano to complement them.

I rarely place silverware on the table until right before a meal.  When I'm just entertaining family, we serve ourselves buffet-style and select silverware at the buffet table from a caddy.


Which do you prefer: the dining room table or the breakfast room table?

Congratulations to Jenny Y. the winner of a copy of Dear Mr. Knightley.

Until next time...

Blessings!

  8. I tend to be more casual so I lean toward the kitchen but I love your weet geese plates as much as the leaves! I would have a terrible time deciding on cue, that's for sure! Both are very beautiful.
