My First Tablescape

Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch hosts Tablescape Tuesdays. I have been following the Tuesday Tablescapes, but had never participated. I decided to take pictures of my Thanksgiving table with idea in mind of using it for a Tablescape Tuesday. So here we are at my first time.

The first mosiac shows my Thanksgiving Table centerpiece and an overall view of the table. I used the Currier and Ives set of dishes that I inherited from my mother-in-law. I usually use these dishes for the winter time gatherings. The pictures on the dishes make me feel like it is appropriate for winter time use. I like to have a pitcher of ice water on the table. This time I used a white one with a blue rim and set it on a desert plate to keep the drips off the table. I actually don't remember where I got the pitcher from. I think most were handed down to me from various family members. I remember picking one up at a thrift store one time. This one may have been the one from the thrift store. I made the napkins one year, but sadly I did not get a good enough closeup of the napkins.

This mosiac has closeups of the different dishes. The first is the dessert plate on top of the dinner plate. Then the dinner plate on the top right. The bottom row shows the saucer that the cup sits on, then the cup. The stemware is from Princess house. Also inherited from my mother-in-law. I used the footed beverage glasses for water and the smaller size of the wine glasses for the dinner wine. The pie was served on the dessert plates.
