I don't have a new table to show tonight, so I'll share a few from the past.
This from 2008...
table 1272
table 1275
And a less formal table.  I love the cloth ,my friend gave it to me.  It is a piece of fabric, and it looks like acorns.  :)

I used my Cornucopia pan from WSonoma Outlet to make one of the desserts for tomorrow.
Laurie, at Bargain Hunting with Laurie won one too, I wonder if she tried it out?  I see she posted, I have to pop over for a visit!

It's a pumpkin cake, I tried a new recipe.  I will let you know how it is in the next post!
October Witches 370
I'll put the glaze on before serving.  Trying a new glaze too, I am adventurous serving it to other people without trying it, LOL.  How bad could it be?
October Witches 371
After dinner tomorrow the children get their traditional little gift.  The countdown to Christmas  begins!

I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I hope you will count your blessings, I count all of you among mine. :)

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Kathleen. The Cornucopia cake has great detail! I wish the CTS would start carrying our beautiful white pumpkins again. I am using mine as candle holders this year...found the perfect candles that fit them nicely. And no dripping!

Hi Kathleen,

I love your tables from previous years. This cornicopia cake is sooo pretty! I would just hate to cut that, but I bet it's tasty. We ate at my MIL's, and I took a broccoli casserole and deviled eggs. We'll be eating at my parents' tomorrow evening. Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving day.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Kathleen! I enjoyed seeing these past 'scapes and especially the one with the floral rings around the tureens - an idea I've still to try! That cornucopia cake looks fantastic! Do you get to put your feet up and relax on Black Friday or will you be out getting those terrific bargains?

Suzy said...

Love how your cornucopia cake turned out. I like the table with the acorn tablecloth best..just beautiful fall colors.

Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Kathleen!

Because my daughter's birthday fell on Thanksgiving Day this year, and also a great niece's birthday, we had ice cream cake for dessert (along with pumpkin pie!) on Thanksgiving so I didn't get a chance to use my Cornucopia cake pan..I loved the maple cake recipe that came with the pan, however, as I tried it last year. Let me know how your pumpkin cake turned out.

Nancy @ Nancy's Daily Dish said...

Your tables are all beautiful, but I especially love the first one with the white tureens at each setting.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
