TOTALLY TURKEY

We are so happy that Thanksgiving Day is coming. All the turkey and fix'ins to celebrate an American holiday.

 With Indians, pilgrims, and turkeys we come together to celebrate this American tradition.  

 To the right of the centerpiece a tea container...

 To the left of the centerpiece the teapot stands out.

 A close-up of the pilgrims surround the turkey salt shaker. 

The Indians circle the sheaf of wheat pepper shaker.

 The tureen will hold fresh pumpkin soup with creole lobster.

 The proper pilgrims stand holding a pumpkin, plus corn and a cornucopia of fruit.  

 This brightly colored turkey wears his top hat and buttoned up shirt dressed to the nines. 

 Of course dreaming of pecan, lemon, and pumpkin pies brings a smile to our faces. Hot pumpkin spice tea will accompany the wonderful desserts.

Six place setting are for all of our family and guests. 

 Everything is turkey from the embroider napkins, turkey napkin rings, and the orange glass candle holders. The flatware has a faux brown wooden handle.

 The golden ice beverage stemware will serve water or iced tea.

 Williams and Sonoma provided the turkey plates for the table. Both the salad plate and....

the dinner plate boast a fully plumed turkey. The traditional brown transferware is echoed in the acorned pattern rim of the plate.

 The place plate or charger with a plaid rim uses red, yellow, brown, and orange hues to accent the dinnerware.

May each of you be blessed with family and friends around a bountiful Thanksgiving table.

Ice and Hot Tea with Scarecrows and Sunflowers

With the sunrays shinning down the antique tea table. The sunflowers shaped plates are mixed matched in yellow and orange and your eye is drawn to the sunflower bouquet in a green metal watering can. 

 Scarecrows always make you smile as they guard the pumpkin teapot!

 Each person has a choice of iced tea in the green goblet or......choice of hot teas
from Ginger Peach Tea or...

 Lemongrass Ginger Tea from The English Tea Shop in cups and saucers which are on the side board(not pictured) .

Gardening scarecrows tend the fields.

Boy and girl scarecrows chase away the birds.

 A simple place setting with colorful parts. Maxcera sunflower shaped plates in yellow and orange. The orange handled flatware is complemented by the green tea goblet.

 A smiling face on the boy scarecrow cheers the table.

 The girl scarecrow shows off sunflowers on her bonnet and dress.

 Charming pumpkin salt and pepper shakers complement the center piece.

 Fellow scarecrow is ready with his shovel and crow perched on his lap.

 Beautiful yellow and orange sunflowers napkins  are encircled by the metal napkin rings. This accents the orange and yellow sunflower shaped plates that are waiting for tea sandwiches to complete the tea table.
