Vintage Thanksgiving Table Setting
Last year, my mother-in-law was our only guest for Thanksgiving. I’m so grateful that this year we can safely gather with a few more family and friends! I pulled out some items from my stash along with my “new” plates to design a Vintage Thanksgiving Table Setting.
I’m participating in a Thanksgiving Tablescape Blog Hop, graciously hosted by my friend Rita from Panoply. There are links to 21 other table settings created by a talented group of table stylists at the end of this post. You are bound to be inspired!
Inspiration for a Vintage Thanksgiving Table Setting
I was so excited when I found these vintage turkey plates a few weeks ago! They were hidden among some junk in the back room of an antique shop. I felt like I stole them for just $1 each! They are hand painted and made in Italy by Mancioli. I love the green leaf motif!
The tablecloth is a thrift store find that was also used in my Brown, Gold and Rust Fall Tablescape.
I found the long wooden riser at a vintage market this past Spring. The vendor said it came out of an old barn. I knew it would make it’s way onto one of my tablescapes.
The turkey planter centerpiece is another vintage find. He was also featured on my Colorful and Traditional Thanksgiving Tablescape. I filled him with some faux flowers.
The riser also holds mini Indian corn, pinecones and votive candles.
The green stemware is from Dollar Tree.
The napkins are a thrifted buffalo check print inside a wooden napkin ring with an acorn glued on top.
I always like to have some candlelight on the table!
And some natural elements.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now it’s time to check out the other lovely tables from my friends below!

I agree that your turkey plates were quite the find. I love them! I really like the green on the outside of the plate. I also like your centerpiece! I like how it runs almost the length of the table. It gives everyone a nice little view from where they’re sitting. The turkey planter is so cute: Children of all ages will love it. I enjoyed visiting your pretty dining room.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Rebecca, you have the most wonderful vintage finds adorning a bountiful Thanksgiving table! Oh that turkey planter — bee still my heart! LOVE him. He looks perfect with the Italian plates and elevated on the unique riser. Makes me yearn to go hunting at flea markets and resale stores again. I hope you have a most happy and healthy Thanksgiving with your family.
Rebecca I have never seen turkey. plates with the green leaves around the rims. What a great find.
The riser too and you have decorated it so beautifully with the Indian corn and turkey vase. I am so glad we are beginning to have larger gatherings around us this year. We need our families and friends’ support, don’t we? Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Hi Rebecca, your table is Thanksgiving perfect from the cute turkey plates {wow, $1 !!!} to the flower filled turkey on the riser surrounded by Indian corn, candles and pine cones. There is no doubt it’s a special Thanksgiving celebration! Cute idea to glue acorns on the napkin rings too. I hope you have a wonderful gathering, Happy Thanksgiving!

They just add so much to so many centerpiece and vignette opportunities! Wow…what a great find! And to score your dinner plates for just $1 each? Woo hoo! Way to go!
So glad for you that you will be able to have more guests this year to celebrate Thanksgiving. I hope you and yours have a safe and joyous one!
