Our Very Thankful Thanksgiving

 

I realize that I am late posting our Thanksgiving tablescape,

 

but I am going with the better late than never philosophy.

 

 

Nothing new for our table this year, just familiar and well-loved.

 

 

Tablecloth and napkins rings purchased years ago at Bed, Bath and Beyond, and

runner and napkins also many years ago at Home Goods.

 

 

I filled our antique dough bowl with faux gourds

painted a cream color from my hobby paint collection.

 

 

My "every day" white dishes that I chose when we got married 45 years ago,

my go to favorite chargers from Pier One,

and my mother's wedding sterling flatware.

 

 

The white quail have been a part of our home since I was in my teens.

 

 

Thanksgiving is one of my very favorite holidays.

This year there were six of us: my husband and I, my mother,

our son and grandson

and a very special guest.

 

We gave thanks, enjoyed our holiday fare, played games and shared love and laughter.

 

Our Dinner Menu

 

Oven Roasted Turkey

Apple, Sausage and Pecan Stuffing

Giblet Gravy

Oven Roasted Rutabagas, Parsnips and Beets

Carrot Souffle

Sliced and Roasted Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

Cranberry Chutney

Deviled Eggs

and tasty dessert of Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Chip Cookies

prepared by our very special guest

 

 

Here is our turkey making a straight out of the oven appearance.

 

 

Today I am joining

for

Tablescape Thursday.
