Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: Give thanks unto Him, and bless His name.
Psalms 100:4 (ASV)
Last week I shared one of my Thanksgiving tablescapes from last year. Well, actually, in order to accommodate our family, I had two tablescapes last year!
So here's a look at the other one.
But first things first! I have to give credit to Yvonne at Stone Gable, who inspired this tablescape! Last year around this time, I was just beginning to enter blogland. I had not yet started a blog of my own, but I was greatly enjoying many other amazing blogs. As I was looking around for some tablescape inspiration, I stumbled upon Stone Gable, & I was forever hooked. If you haven't yet been to her blog, hop on over there & take a look around....but I must warn you, you might end up spending hours over there!
Anyway, back to the table. I had recently purchased the turkey plates seen above, & had a general idea of what I wanted the table to look like.....brown & green, somewhat rustic, etc., but couldn't quite pull it together in my head. Then I saw her tablescape! That was it....the look I was searching for!
So are you ready to see the amazing table that inspired me so much?
Here it is:

I just knew that centerpiece would pull it all together!
So I begin gathering up some hydrangeas.....some from my grandma & others from my mother-in-law....and went to work! What made it even better was that Yvonne even had a tutorial for this amazing centerpiece. (Feel free to click here if you want step-by-step instructions for yourself!)
So here's a closer look at hers:

And here's a closer look at mine....a little different due to the materials & space I had available, but the same general idea.
A mix of hydrangeas, feathers, branches, & glittery acorns are the perfect mix for this rustic centerpiece.
So now that I had the focal point, I begin adding the dishes.
I started with my copper colored chargers, which tied in with the glittery acorns, & then layered on my green Gracious Goods dinner plates.
Next came the turkey plate.
Two napkins, one brown/taupe and the other olive green, are held together with this cute pheasant napkin ring with a feathery tail. The glittery, copper-colored pheasant added just enough sparkle, while still being somewhat rustic.
Gracious Goods flatware & place cards grace each setting, while two goblets, again one copper & one green, add some interest.
For that final touch, a small votive was placed at each place setting as well.
So there you have it.
