Formal Family Thanksgiving Tablescape

If we are going to celebrate Thanksgiving any year, my family must gather earlier in the month since everyone "scatters" to various parts of the state to observe the day with other friends and family on the traditional Thanksgiving Day [We all stay close to home on Christmas however]. With this in mind, Pat set the table this week deciding to use formal dinnerware and simple design.

Dinnerware is "Autumn" by Lenox - Pat's daughter "lent" us her "Mansfield" chargers years ago to use with it.....(oops, somehow they wound up in my dish room and never left)

Flatware is "Byzantine" by Yamazaki

We looked everywhere for smaller, more formal glasses in this shape but had no luck. Then we found them at Replacements, Ltd. in sets at a good price. They are "Fedora" by Spiegelau

Fortunately for us, our Mother was a collector, too. This is one of her many Armani figurines.

One last look

Where it came from:

Place Mat and Matching Napkin - from Pier 1 four or five years ago

Dinnerware - "Autumn" by Lenox from wherever we can find it (Macy's, Amazon, Replacements, Ltd, eBay, etc.)

Charger - "Mansfield" by Lenox from Pat's daughter

Glassware - "Fedora" by Spiegelau from Replacements, Ltd.

Flatware - "Byzantine Gold" by Yamazaki from Horchow several years ago

Armani Figurine - from our Mother's collection

Candle Holders - from Art & Old Things (a local antique store) years ago
