The inspiration for my table is a throw I purchased (still in the unopened packaging) from Goodwill. I knew it would make a beautiful tablecloth. I've been wanting to do all white dishes, and I thought this was the perfect time.
I wanted to keep the accent colors soft and muted.
I bought these glittery fall picks at Michael's.
All of these dishes came from Goodwill!
My little polka dot pitcher just had to make another appearance. You can also see it here.
This table was made for candlelight.
These mercury glass votives also came from Michael's.
The water glasses are Waterford and the wine glasses are from Ross.
Just a simple centerpiece--a pumpkin on gold and silver garland.

All the sparkling elements are so beautiful and photogenic. I love the picture with all the votives and the effect they have on the pumpkin garland. I'm glad your Waterford doesn't mind sharing the spotlight with the Ross glasses. Ha! Overall such an elegant yet cozy table for 2! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mr. Wonderful (and the furry guys too!)

I love the table covering! You've set a beautiful table; the white is very elegant.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Love it! The throw is a perfect backdrop for those pretty white dishes and fall picks! It looks very elegant!
I admire you doing all that work for 2! But at least you will have left overs for a few days.
I feel so full now I hope I don't eat for days! Somehow come morning I will feel differently!
You did a wonderful job, Elaine. Your table is gorgeous and so elegant, fabulous glow! I hope your holiday weekend is going great....Christine
How pretty your soft colors and subtle sparkle is! Love those wonderful dishes too.
Beautiful table, Elaine. The rims with all the different textures make a gorgeous picture!
The table is gorgeous in candlelight!
Hope you are enjoying the long Thanksgiving weekend...

You and I went for the same "sparkly" collection at Michael's. I used the garland for my table. The throw was a beautiful inspiration...it created a beautiful, serene underpinning for your gorgeous design. Thank you for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
Beautiful table for two! Love your dishes and all the sparkle...such pretty pictures!
No kidding this table was made for candlelight!!!!! Wow! I love mercury glass and crystal and bling....so this is my kinda table! GREAT throw! It's perfect for the table!!! I'm glad to see you guys didn't skimp even though it would be just the 2 of you. Thanksgiving is about love and togetherness...even if it's just 2 people together and loving each other. I'm also touched that you shared in the cooking responsibilities. Makes the day that much more meaningful. Way to go!!!
