Happy Thanksgiving

Alberto Pinto

 I hope everyone has a lovely and safe Thanksgiving. Let's all try to focus on the positive and believe that there are better days ahead. 

I love this table setting. Harvest colors done my way with chinoiserie china and accessories and lots of potted orchids. BTW my Publix had gorgeous peonies yesterday - in November - that was a lovely surprise. 

Do you notice the silverware is placed facing down and the napkin is on the right? Very French - he is based in Paris.

  1. Beautiful table. And WOW! at peonies in November. They must have come up from South America where it's spring.

    1. I am sure you are correct, but they were so well priced too. I was amazed. I love Publix.

  2. Gorgeous! I wish I had bought plates like those when I could have ordered them hand painted. I'll have to pick up some peonies from Publix. I did my table yesterday.

  4. I wonder if the orchids would be removed before seating. Seems that they would block sight lines and interfere with sparkling conversation. Happy Thanksgiving!

  5. Exquisite and easy to duplicate. I wonder how you feel about colored stemware. I have Waterford Lismore and always feel compelled to set a formal table with it but those jewel tones make that table!

    1. I actually really like colored stemware and glassware that is dishwasher safe. There is a reason people are getting rid of silver and crystal.

  6. Beautiful table! I found peonies last week in a local market out side of Boston last weekend. I believe they are from Chile.
