Welcome to the 790th Tablescape Thursday! I have two delightful tables to share with you for this week’s Tablescape Thursday! Kathy has her Thanksgiving ready for her family, and it’s beautiful!
I was so excited to see Kathy set her table with Plymouth Turkey dinnerware. I’ve seen this pattern when visiting my local William Sonoma, so it’s exciting to see it in a real Thanksgiving table setting! I looked this morning to see if it’s still available and it is–plus, it’s on sale! You’ll find it available here: Plymouth Turkey.
I love how Kathy decorates her cabinets for the holidays. You may remember when I shared her Halloween cabinet decor a few weeks back. So fun!
Here’s how Kathy’s cabinets look now for autumn! I love the pilgrim collection in the corner on top! ♥
Kathy, thanks so much for sharing your beautiful Thanksgiving table! I know it’s going to inspire all who see it, including your kitchen autumn decor! Here’s where Kathy found many of the items in her tablescape.

Maureen already has her Thanksgiving ready for this year, too!
For her table this year, she chose a beautiful dinnerware from that store we all terribly miss now, Pier 1. I keep hoping a miracle will happen and it will reopen!
This pretty dinnerware includes a collection of plates covered in colorful pumpkins and gourds, perfect for Thanksgiving but also great to use all throughout the fall season.
Love this pattern and how different all the salad plates are in color and design!
Ohh, love the green mixed with the orange! Beautiful! You can still find quite a bit of this beautiful autumn dinnerware available here: Autumn Pumpkin Patch. Scroll down at that link to see a number of listings for the salad plates.
Maureen found her napkins in HomeGoods a few years back, then came across the matching tablecloth this past year.
Maureen’s centerpiece is stunning! Maureen found the basket in her centerpiece in Pottery Barn a few years back. I love how long it is–perfect for creating a beautiful centerpiece. Maureen added glass pumpkins that she found in Home Goods. The pumpkins light up so just imagine how beautiful the centerpiece and table must look in the evening!
Thanks so much to Maureen for sharing her beautiful Thanksgiving table! Her family is going to feel so special when they sit down to Thanksgiving dinner this year!
