FABBY: Thanksgiving Table 2011

Hi my sweet friends!   I'm sure you're all thinking and even making already your Thanksgiving tablescape for this year...I am!  My table for 2011 Thanksgiving is going to look like this, while my table will have a fall look my house will be all Christmas decked up!  I am posting a couple of weeks in advance as here in Ecuador there is no Thanksgiving as in the USA so we usually celebrate the next Saturday after Thanksgiving, usually at an American friend's house who is married to an Ecuadorian too; or at home with the family.   Hope you enjoy my Thanksgiving 2011 tablescape.  
I will be joyning some parties, so I'm thanking the super lovely ladies that host them each week.
I'm also thanking you all my darlings for your sweet and wonderful visits, they are so appreciated!

Love,
 I did my Thanksgiving tablescape using part of my china made at our former Ceramic Co.  I paired the china with my orange plates and the salad and small pan with the birds motiff. The chargers I used my Turkish glass ones because of the gold color. The small pan will go in the oven with a potato and cheese antree.
 This is a dip platter which I use with a hot chile cheese sauce dip and small empanadas.
 The name cards are set on a walnut which I copy cated from Martha Stewart's. The duck lid on the bowl is for patè and it's from Portugal, bought in Bloomingdales NY in the 80's.
 This other mud duck was bought in NY's China Town several years ago.
 I was so happy to have recycled my living room and den yellow moire draperies into two beautiful tablecloths!  I think gold is great for fall too.
 You can see in this high photo I took of the fruit centerpiece bowl with two birds, one is feating the other and from up here they look like they're kissing.
 Coffee or tea is ready in this corner of my buffet to drink along with dessert, or later in the afternoon.
Some pink flowers for Beverly'Pink Saturday at How Sweet The Sound.
 The vintage church brass candle sticks that were my mil's, with orange candels.
Here are the two cute birds in the fruit bowl which I put gourds in as a centerpiece...the one that is feating the other must be the mother bird, lol!
The glass charger with my mother's doily.

The plates layers.
</></></></></></></></></></></></></></></></></></>
The layers with the pottery pan, which  can be used in the oven perfectly as they are made of terracotta.
This is a pot with a duck lid and I often use it for a Pecan Sweet Potato pudding that goes in the oven in this same pot and to serve it I replace the lid on it... and the pudding it's everyone's favorite!
 This is a vintage cheese platter in depression glass and hand decorated, (you can see like an Arizona house with a cactus plant) made in the USA from the 1950's....it was my mil's too and my hubby has such fond memmories  when we cut cheese from it at the dinner table.
The bread plate it's so cute with the decoration of  a flower flanked by two birds decorated in  many colors.

  16. What a lovely tablescape!!! I need to create mine... right after I clean out the dining room. It only gets used as a dining room a few times a year so I need to remove all the other objects that seem to find their way in to the dining room all year long to make room for everyone to set.

    Thank you for inspiring.

  25. Love love loving those dishes!
    Your dining room chairs are exquisite too, Fabby. What a lovely setting for Thanksgiving!
    I have not even thought about our table since it will just be the four of us and all of our out of town family members cannot join us this year. Last year I hosted everyone here on my husband's side. We had a ball!
    This year, it will be very quiet.
    :(

    Enjoy your feast!

  52. This is a great Thanksgiving table, Fabby! I think we in the States tend to forget that our sisters in other countries don't necessarily celebrate this holiday in the same way or on the same day that we do. I think it is fantastic that you just jumped right into the spirit of the whole holiday!!! Those chargers are so pretty...I nearly fainted! I love the ridging in them! The dishes are gorgeous, too! This is a beautiful, beautiful table, young lady! I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I'm on a breathing machine now...my lungs just couldn't function on their own. I feel myself getting stronger by the minute. What a relief! Take care!!!

  57. Hi Dear Fabby,

    This table is so interesting and colorful! I just love it!! I love the individual soup bowls with interesting handles, and the serving bowl with the duck on the lid. Your fruit bowl is marvelous with the two birds (one feeding the other). I'm always amazed at how unique and artistic your ceramics are. The church candlesticks add a wonderful touch, and as usual, you've fixed every detail just beautifully. Thanks for your kind comments on my tablescape and Happy Seasonal Sunday.
