“Fall colors on repeat!” Aren’t you just loving the soothing muted tones this season? 🍁🍂


My November table in the breakfast room features some of my favorites old and new… 


My goal was to create a tablescape that captures the essence of fall’s natural beauty!


Can you spot the Pinecone Napkin Rings and the Cheese Board? They’re from Arthur Court and the plates, charger and wicker vase are from new little items I just acquired from Antique Farmhouse.

 

 



Just sharing a few beautiful new things for Thanksgiving from Arthur Court like these fun turkey place card holders and a beautiful metal turkey bowl that would be great for a green salad or a yummy side dish.


A little spring or two of rosemary help infuse the room with a delectable holiday fragrance and also comes in handy when cooking the turkey.

 

I also sprinkled in a few of my new vintage treasures found this week at a secondhand store. All my friends know how much I've always loved Thanksgiving, so I'm really looking forward to this year when I can really accessorize my table with style!

 




This is a Thanksgiving table I put together using only second-hand items that I either thrifted or inherited. I made a table runner out of colorful collected autumn leaves from a liquidambar tree.

   




Another shot of this vintage inspired table. I just love the hand-tied fringe on this antique tablecloth!


One of my favorite things to collect are brass candlesticks of all shapes and sizes. You can never have too many, and they look great when grouped "en masse" as a lovely collection. 

   



To keep things neutral, I’m using these large white ceramic chargers as dishes. I find that they hold just the right amount of food for a large meal like Thanksgiving. 


Layered on top is a variety of brown transferware salad plates that I collect all year long. Some of my favorites have a lovely Tom turkey on them. 


I think it's fun to mix and match certain elements, and at this table, I do that with the salad plates, napkin rings and the vintage glassware.





Up until this year I’d never heard of Thanksgiving Poinsettias, but I’ve come to learn that it’s a thing, and I just love how they bring that indescribable autumn feeling to the table.


Tablecloth and napkins: August Table  

 





This Thanksgiving table was ultra-simplified. I first brought out these beautiful ivory Wedgwood plates. They’re a sentimental nod to our dear family, and we don’t need much more than that. 


For me it’s all about spending quality time with our loved ones, and not going so overboard with superfluous details.

a look at my Thanksgiving table




Happy Monday and Happy December! Whoa, this year has just flown by, hasn’t it? I promised to give you a peek of my Thanksgiving day tablescape, and even though everyone is now in Christmas mode, I still wanted to check in and share our family table with you. 




The table evolved to be a high-low collection of things that just came together at the last minute. Family Wedgwood china, my favorite amber glassware, fall heirloom pumpkins and new sculptural pewter flatware all came together for a totally unique look. 




I love the muted tones of this table. The creamy Wedgwood plates were wedding registry gifts given to my in-laws when they got married during the 1950’s. Set on contrasting dark wood chargers, they're really highlighted for their embossed beauty and delicate nature.  

The pumpkins flowing down the center of the table are all soft shades of orange, gray and white. To add a little glitz, brass candlesticks intermingle with the pumpkins and vintage woodland animals like deer, quail and a friendly little squirrel. 

I softened the look of the center of the table with ferny greenery from Trader Joe’s, which I also added to the simple flowers in mini trophies and urns. 
  



White mums and so lovely on their own, but to infuse a little fall flavor I added three pheasant feathers to each little floral arrangement. The ferny foliage just softens the whole look. 




This little trophy and squirrel are recent acquisitions from my thrift store and flea market visits over the last few months. 




The amber glassware just adds the perfect fall jewel tone to the table and the facets catch the candle light in the most beautiful way. 




I’m in love with these stunning new napkin rings. Created by Vagabond House, they’re white stoneware embellished with delicate pewter oak leaves and acorns, which to me are one of all-time favorite motifs.  

They truly are today's heirlooms for future generations! 




Paired with the Acorn Flatware, this was the perfect look for my Thanksgiving table. Everyone commented on the utensils' unique style and lovely craftsmanship. It's been so popular at Vagabond House, that it's currently sold out!

I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! This will prove to be a busy week getting Christmas decor started around here. I haven't even thought about putting up my Christmas tree. How about you? 



ciao! fabiana 



Here's how the whole table came together:

Plates:  vintage Wedgwood 
Napkins: Home Goods

Quite often time is of the essence, and I have last minute projects or events to work on, so I turn to Amazon for one or two day delivery. You’d be surprised at how many amazing items they have to offer! And I'm constantly updating this page with my new favorites.
