The 2011 Thanksgiving at the Junction

Thanksgiving marks my one year blogger-versary!
When I began this creative journey I was so happy to have found a community of those who find joy in collecting and creating beautiful settings for all the special occasions we are so blessed to celebrate. I quickly found that it was more then a solitary documentation of my events when I began to make a circle of sweet, supportive 'cyber-friends'. Thank you all for you kind comments, the funny stories you share on your blogs and for your continued support of my creative endeavors.
Welcome my cyber-friends to the second annual
Thanksgiving at the Junction!



A more monochromatic color scheme this year
was inspired by the WS individual transferware
soup tureens purchased at the end of season last year


I added the solid brown salad plate atop the
Queens Myot Thanksgiving 
dinner plate framed by my favorite white chargers

A closeup of the pattern play



Each place setting rests on
 a burlap textured tablecloth
and simple brown placement




The textural theme was accented by these overscale
basket weave pumpkins found at Target



Keeping in mind the large scale centerpiece
 I accentuated its size by adding
 lamp shades to the battery candles



This tablescape did not lend itself to crystal
glassware, but these brown hued wine glasses found at the dollar store were perfect!



Target also had the perfect napkin rings for this
natural theme -
they look as if they were carved from wood!



Every year it seems as though Williams-Sonoma
has a piece I just can't live without.
This year was no exception.
My DH bought this as a surprise for me!
Yes, he's a keeper!




Extra plates on the server are complimented
by another 'floral'
with neutral and natural accents



Another service area in the dining room
holds the WS soup tureen
draped with seasonal florals



Thanks for taking time to drop by today.
To all of my 'cyber-friends'

  1. Your table is stunning. I love the natural textures and colors. The little tureens are beautiful and using a lamp shade on the candles is such a creative and fabulous idea. Everything is so pretty. I hope you will also link this to Table Top Tuesday. The link will be up tomorrow night. Hugs, Marty

  6. What a wonderful table. Love the mini tureens. How neat to have those as part of your collection. I saw those rattan pumpkins at Target and thought how neat they were. Great to see them as part of your table.

    Happy blog-a-versary.
