I posted recently about setting the Thanksgiving table in blue and white. Here is that post. Above is another beautiful example from Southern Living. 

Thanksgiving Traditions

John Derian Turkey Puzzle

 

It’s time for a new Thanksgiving tradition. After the pies, after the contented sighs, keep the reverence for the day going with this singularly stunning puzzle. Straight from the collection of John Derian, the artist and designer whose work with printed images of the past transports the viewer to another time and place, Crested Turkey is a nineteenth-century chromolithographic portrait that confirms the wonder and wisdom behind Benjamin Franklin’s famous remark that in comparison with the bald eagle, the wild turkey is a much more respectable and courageous creature. And so handsome too!

The Thanksgiving Centerpiece

John Derian Beaded Turkey Pillow

The "it" piece from the John Derian Target Thanksgiving collaboration last year was this wonderful beaded turkey above. Lots of people bought it to be their Thanksgiving table centerpiece. It is a really stunning piece and very collectible.

John Derian for Target Beaded Turkey

If you are looking for a stunning Thanksgiving centerpiece, this is it. Part of the John Derian for Target Thanksgiving Collection, it was sold out but has restocked.

John Derian is an American decoupage artist and designer living in New York City whose aesthetic encapsulates a curious mix of natural oddities, antiques and eccentricities.

John Derian has been sharing his passion for beautiful, yet functional products as part of the Target family for over a decade. His one-of-a-kind, unique taste and sense of humor made him the perfect partner to bring joy to this year’s Thanksgiving celebrations.

Thinking Thanksgiving

Will you be hosting for Thanksgiving? I have found turkey decor that is very chic and fun for your table centerpiece, fireplace mantel, buffet table, or wherever you like. And they are very well priced. Made of raffia, these have an organic and rustic vibe great for a beach house or cabin too.

Raffia Turkey

 

I know it is still September, but last year at this time, September 10th to be exact, I posted on a darling raffia turkey, knowing it would sell out quickly well before Thanksgiving.

I love the colors of this Thanksgiving table by Eddie Ross with its pink and blue palette. Such a pretty alternative to traditional harvest colors. Get a little jump on Thanksgiving planning with a wonderful turkey centerpiece. These below would be fabulous for the dining table, sideboard, or fireplace mantel.
