Hi Everyone,

I am a big believer that a beautifully set table makes any meal a special occasion, and what meal could not be more specialthan Thanksgiving? This yearI am hosting my family for the first time ever in our recentlyredesigned kitchen and dining room. Though I may not be an expert at cooking a turkey,I certainly know how to set a cheerful table.

THE TABLEWARE

Decorative plates add a welcoming layer to any festive table and I couldn't help myself after seeing these autumnal plates in person earlier this summer.

The Forest Walk Leaf Cocktail Plate Setismy favorite new decorative Fall accent to my beloved staple Classic Bamboo tableware and flatware.I also layered the table with newWillow Natural Placemats and feather wrapped napkin rings that I scored at Juliska's tent sale back in September. With only a few new itemsI was able to transform the tablewareI already owned into something special without breaking the bank.

THE GLASSWARE

There can never be too many glasses on a table! I love offeringvarious libations along with their respectiveglassware options.The more glass on a table, the more sparkly it becomes. Thanksgiving Table Setting Tips - Pick the right glassware

My Carine Red Gobletwine glasses can double as a water glass if needed, and its stemless White glass counterpart could also be used for a cocktail or two. I especially liked howlovely they look with tea light candle holders and Amalia candlesticks, which are always part of my table settings.

Call me traditional, but I still love some warm apple cider around Thanksgiving time. It's just one of those things that conjures up so many wonderful memories. This year, I'll be serving up this childhood favorite in these mugs on the Forest Walk platter. Perhaps add a splash of spiced rum, if you'd like to make a bit of an adult update to this classic night cap. And, there you have it! I hope you enjoyed walking through my Thanksgiving Table Setting Tips with me. It was fun sharing them with you all. Thanks again and Cheers to a very Happy Thanksgiving...table.
