Thanksgiving Buffet Table



Hello, dear friends!
Thanksgiving is just a few short days away, and I am sure everyone is busy with last minute preparations.


This is my most favorite time of the year. I love having family and friends over for the holidays, sharing meals, and creating memories. It is the start of the holiday season!



I love entertaining, and this is the time of the year when I have lots of fun playing with dishes, tablesetting, cooking, and celebrating the blessings in our life!   


I used gold foil for the gilded mini pumpkins.


Apply foil adhesive on the top part of the pumpkin with a small sponge brush.
Next, press the gold foil side down on top of the pumpkin, tapping gently with the sponge brush.
Then, slowly peel away the wax-paper backing, and in the end you will have a beautifully gilded mini pumpkin. 
It can used as a place card holder or simply as a pretty accent at your table.




In keeping with the fall color theme, I used mostly white dishes to set my buffet table and autumn colors as accent through out the table.




I stacked the amber glass compotes and housed them under an over-sized glass cloche.


The ceramic utensil caddies keep the flatware nicely organized


I don't know why, but everything always looks so pretty when it's under a cloche.




I used the gold painted pumpkins as a flower vase and as accents in my tablescape.


Love how they turned out and how they add a touch of glam to my Thanksgiving tablescape.

Wishing you and your family a safe and joyful Thanksgiving!

A Simple Autumn Tablescape

Pin It


"September is like no other
It's days change color and weather
No other month can say quite the same
For every day, I can feel the change" ~Jessica Millsaps


"It's cool breezes start out warm,
Changing to cold throughout every storm
The leaves change and fall
As the summer leaves and autumn kisses us all" 
~Jessica Millsaps



"September maidens feel the change
Like the blue of the sky
Yet the color so deep
Unbelievable beauty" ~Jessica Millsaps



"In autumn when the trees are brown 
The little leaves come tumbling down 
They do not make the slightest sound 
But lie so quietly on the ground 
Until the wind comes puffing by 
And blows them off towards the sky."


"As we watch the summer days depart 
 And the painted leaves in silence fall,"
 ~ Hattie L. Knapp.

"Our garden seems a dreary place, 
no brilliant flowers its borders grace,
save in a sheltered nook apart, 
where gay beneath the autumn sun
 blooms our own chrysanthemum"
~ Hattie L. Knapp.


Gold among the brown

Leaves of rust and scarlet
Trembling slowly down
Birds that travel southward
Lovely time to play
Nothing is as pleasant
As an autumn day!



I had so much fun setting up this simple autumnal tablescape in my backyard under the canopy of apple trees.





Elements of a table setting


The vintage silver pitcher is a thrift store find:




The burlap leaf tag found at the craft store adds a touch of rustic fall:





For napkins, I used fingertip towels




  The burlap flower napkin ring from Hobby Lobby complements

 so prettily with the leaf tag. 




Amber tumblers from the Dollar Store for chilled water.

 A white cake plate makes the perfect serveware for oranges.

Vines and ribbon tied around the bottom of the cake plate add wonderful fall accents.

The place setting:

Simple white dinner plate:

 Accompanies a salad plate that reflects autumnal browns

Topped with a pumpkin-shaped soup bowl

 When brought together each element of a table setting harmonizes each other so prettily

 I love doing tablescapes and playing with my dishes! They are always so much fun, and I hope I have inspired you to play as well!

Thanks for stopping by! 
Have a beautiful Sunday, everyone!

 ~Hugs, Poppy~
