A decision has been made-Thanksgiving Dinner for the Bella Girls will be at my house this year. So since I’ve already got the ”basic” table decor ready-the perfect size table (I’m adding a leaf or 2), a decor theme (Thanksgiving) and the perfect linens (Butterscotch).-it’s time to move on to the tableware.
If I could afford to have dishes for each and every holiday these are some of the dishes that I would have in my collection to use for our special Thanksgiving dinner:
Crete Scroll by Wonki Ware…I love the look, color and texture of these great dishes. They are from South Africa and have a story. Check it out here.
Pottery Barn always has the best dishes and I love the brocade pattern design as well as the color. (This pattern is from their 2008 catalog.) Wouldn’t food taste better when eaten off a plate like this? And how cute is that place card. I even have tags like these!
(You can even pair this pattern with white dishes.)
Another idea: Square plates-and I LOVE how they look when paired with a square bowl. These would be fun to have for our Thanksgiving dinner. I don’t know what it is about this shape but food just looks better on a square plate. And since they are white they are so versatile and can be paired with combination of colors.
Another look that I like is combining several different styles of plates. I love the eclectic look of using a variety of pattern, color and style.
Here’s a great Thanksgiving table from Country Living using this idea.
And finally for those who are very “traditional” when it comes to Thanksgiving tableware. How about a plate that’s painted with a scene depicting the season. And how cute is the dried corn cob that adorns the napkin?
So what tableware will my table wear this Thanksgiving holiday?
Solitaire by Lenox-it’s been in the family for 30 years and we’ve probably eaten off it a dozen times. So we’re it getting out and adding our own special Bella Life ”Thanksgiving” touches. Check back with us to see what we do.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Nice one! If I could write like this I would be well happpy. The more I see articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there could be a future for the Web. Keep it up, as it were.
