Getting ready for Thanksgiving

I am trying to figure out which tablecloth I will use on my Dining table.
These are my choices,

1. A grey and brown leaf design Damask Tablecloth, which looks great with my Thanksgiving plates. 

.

• A plaid pumpkin and leaf design
• A multicolor fall leaves design

The first 2 I have had for years and use mostly every year. The multicolored leaf design is new from Home Goods and I really love the vibrant color.

As I pull out some other accessories I will make up my mind. I have a nice set of amber glass fostoria candlesticks that I like to use at the Holidays.

And I have a pretty fruit decorated box that I've had a few years, I'd like to pear up with that multi colored leaf cloth. But I will get to that latter. For now I will concentrate on the dining table.

I think I will go with the pumpkin cloth. And use some of my old vintage bottles.

I've had this collection of vintage bottles for years. I keep most of them on display in 2 small cabinets that I got a very long time ago. Once it was filled and I had about 6 more with no where to put them, I ended my collection, Didn't want it to get out of hand.

I can show you more of them at another time, so back to the table.
I love, love, love this bowl, filled with pumpkin gourds and pine cones, but I will actually empty the decorations out on thanksgiving to use this for the mash potatoes!!

I like how it is starting to look

Should I put leaves in the vintage bottles?

Decisions.. Decisions!

I will leave it for now, for tonight and for the weekend.

A sign we are getting prepared.

But the bottles will have to go back in their cubbies on Thankgiving Day.. there won't be room for them.

And once I put my extension in my table, I will change the setting to the brown and grey cloth that goes so nicely with my plates! Because this cloth isn't long enough!

But tonight was fun! And the dining room looks festive.

So if I find the time, I will be back the day before thanksgiving or sooner, with the longer table setting, my damask tablecloth and my plates!

Oh I dressed the kitchen up today too. That was easy peasy, 

Because we always have a full bowl of fruit around the house. it went so nicely with my new

 Home Goods cloth

And my little leaf candle in the corner!
