A Proper Table Setting

{Designer: Martha Angus}
After I had written the last post, I had realized that it might be helpful for you all to know where to find these items that are supposedly going to occupy your Thanksgiving table. I do, however, also realize that you might just have the basics already ... but you know what? It never hurts to window-shop and it certainly never hurts to change things up.

Here are a few table items that I am coveting for my own Thanksgiving table.


Caterer's 12-Piece Dinnerware Set - $39.00 - $49.00
This is great for those of you who will be having a large crowd coming to your house for the holidays. And the durable storage boxes are a big plus.


White Scalloped Serving Bowl for $20.00
Serve fruits such as clementines, pears, grapes, or persimmon in these bowls and you've got an instant centerpiece for your table.

Fleur De Lys Dinnerware - $10.00-$16.00

Fleur De Lys Serving Bowl, Square for $38.00

Into-The-Woods Butter Dish for $28.00

One of the fancier butter dishes I've seen and now need to acquire.


Sur La Table® Porcelain Gravy Boat for $19.95
There should always be a plate underneath the gravy boat or else you'll get gravy everywhere!

Amalfi 5-Piece Amalfi Flatware Set for $114.90

Pricey but so beautiful. Love the detailed embellishments.


Vintage Hotel Flatware - 5 Piece Placesetting for $79.00
The fact that these pieces are "vintage and found" make them so special and unique.

Olive Wood Five-Piece Flatware Setting for $250.00
Again, pricey but have you ever seen anything like it? It's rustic and warm but elegant all at the same time.


Maxfield Flatware - $95.00 - $349.00
Love that each piece is slightly different giving it that collected-over-time feel.


Water Goblet, Tulip Stemware for $28.00

I think these might be the ones that Ina Garten uses...

Edge Wine Glasses for $11.95
I think Crate and Barrel has some of the best selections of well-priced drinkwares. Here are a few more of my favs from them.


Nora Wine Glasses for $9.95

Viv Wine Glasses for $3.95
These are the ones we've got and they are absolutely wonderful. Although, the Edge Wine Glasses would be great for the holidays...



butternut and warm gray runner for $72.00


Toile Au Couleur Tablecloths, Khaki
$95.00 - $115.00


Marseille Tablecloths, Dijon
$35.00 - $62.00


Aileen Runner
$119.00 - $154.00
If you've been really good followers of my blog, you'll remember that I did a whole post on Table runners in September, but I had to add the ones above since they are perfect for Thanksgiving.

I'm going to have to stop here since it's starting to get really long. There will be a Part 2 so wait for more Table Setting goodies!
