A traditional Thanksgiving table setting. Traditions. Isn’t that what holidays are about? This year I’m participating in a Thanksgiving Tablescapes, Dining Rooms and Kitchens Blog Hop. Perhaps the start of a new tradition.
This hop was arranged by Amber at Follow The Yellow Brick Home. If you are coming from Laura at Decor To Adore, welcome! Don’t you love her tartan tablecloth?
What is your Thanksgiving tradition? My husband and I started hosting Thanksgiving in 2012. He loves to cook and is good at it. I like to bake, however he still bakes the pecan pie! We also usually hold Thanksgiving not on Thanksgiving, due to work schedules.
While I am not the chef, I do love to set the table! Every year I’ve used Spode Woodland plates for Thanksgiving and this year is no different. I’ve placed my Staub pumpkin cocottes on each place setting because they are just too cute. Although we don’t have enough cocottes to use on Thanksgiving day – we usually have about 30 people over!
I embraced the warmer colors of Fall for this traditional Thanksgiving table setting. Harvest wheat and pumpkins decorate the center. Tom the Turkey always sits in the center with his two pheasant friends next to him.
Mini turkey place card holders sit in front of each place setting. The place cards themselves were design by my Mom using antique ephemera.
We bought these pheasants years ago at Williams Sonoma. I noticed the local WS still has one – but it is listed NFS! Apparently they liked it too. 
I’ll have to change this table when the actual company arrives… we have to cram everyone in and somehow squeeze 30 people in here! But it was fun setting up this traditional table!
I’d like to invite you to enter into a Holiday Prep giveaway I’m cohosting. We are giving away a $150 Target gift card. Get the details here.

This woodlands inspired tablescape is gorgeous! That pattern has always been one of my all-time favorites. I love the place card holders your Mom made too. What a great gift to be able to use those on such an important holiday. Everything is really beautiful. I hope you and your family and friends all have a fun time celebrating together, hugs, CoCo
I love your table! Is that a tapestry underneath?! It’s fantastic! Actually, everything is beautiful even if it only stays for a short time. And 30 people – Oh my! I can’t imagine having 30 people over but it makes me smile knowing that many people are loved and cared for. Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh that table cover is absolutely gorgeous! I do love those W.S. turkeys. The drapes in the background are fabulous too!
How beautiful! I love the table linens you used for your table. You amazed me with all the work you put into this table. A lot of love will be sitting around your table. Very pretty.
Angelina,
Beautiful… I love that your dining room has a fireplace. We had our first fire of the season last night when we also experienced our first frost this Fall. Your dining room looks cozy for days like this. How fortunate your husband likes to cook and helps with hosting 30 people!
Happy Thanksgiving,
Judith
Wish I had a fireplace in the dining room too! Really ups the cozy and warm factor. My family teases me every year that I use place cards and own all different kinds of card holders. I love fine stationary products. But, your mom’s creations top anything I’ve ever purchased. Very special! With a gang, I like place cards to mix everyone up — especially when we have family from both sides visiting. In the end, they all like to come and see which table they are seated at and with whom.
I love, love the pumpkin tureens. So cute. The turkey and pheasant are adorable too.
Hello Angelina,
I do love your stunning home. That fire place is absolutely stunning! And that tablecloth is exquisite. I do love to embrace a bit of color during fall. It just makes everything feel warm and inviting. The Spode Woodland plates are always a must during Thanksgiving.
I love the elegance and sophistication of your table sweet friend.
It was fun joining you on this Thanksgiving blog hop. Wishing you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving.

Hosting 30 for Thanksgiving is no small thing. I know it will be a lovely celebration in your beautiful home. Large gatherings of family and friends for Thanksgiving is special. Your table setting is so pretty.
Angelina, those fall colors on the table are so pretty with your blue drapes and the blue platter I can see back on the wall. Beautiful! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving in your beautiful new home.
Happy to be on this hop with you. 😉
The whole room is charming, Angelina and I love your tablescape! Happy to be joining you on the tour! Blessings, Cecilia @ My Thrift Store Addiction

It’s wonderful that you have a fireplace and mantel in that room to add to the ambiance. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!
