| This will be our Thanksgiving table and buffet for 2012. I set this table thinking of Luvs the whole time. You all know she started the acorn thing!!! She was also my inspiration for the painted tray. Luvs painted and shared hers one the Tole & Decorating forum. I LOVED it! I had the book but had never painted anything in it. I got busy, found a tray and painted one to match hers. She was tickled and so was I.
These soup bowls were a gift from DD. I love them! I went into Tuesday Morning not long ago and came out with my green Bordallo Pinheiro Turkey and Acorn plates! They were 40% off. Still not cheap but I haven't regretted this purchase. I needed plates to go with my new soup bowls.LOL The white plates are Table Mates and also have acorns on them.
This is Luvs matching painted tray. It says 'Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread. I also set out the gold genie bottles and vase from DF. I had picked up this vine for $1 at an estate sale.
Close up of other side of buffet. Couldn't resist bringing out and using some of my green acorn Christmas ornaments with is setting.
Found this turkey while out ys this summer for $1. I figured it would be a nice change for my cp. Always an excuse to buy more.haha
The Piligrim and Indian come to share this Thanksgiving with us.
Last here's my Candy shot. I even made it down safely.LOL
It is a beautiful day here, the sun is out for a nice change.

Oh, I am 'green' w/envy of your 'green' Bordallo turkey/acorn plates...so lovely...ever since I've seen Bordallo from purplemoon (bunnies, I think)...anyway, these are gorgeous, punk & love how you've used them in the placesettings! Those pumpkin soup bowls are so cool...many of you Holiday-ers here have shared diff ones...so I guess I have 'orange envy' too! LOL! I am also lovin' the 'script' placemats on top of the placemat & the flatware you chose to use! Your buffet is lovely w/all the glass & pottery in Fall colors! & that $ vine was a find! Those green acorn ornies are pretty there! Everything looks ready for the 'gobble' ... & 'wobble' day! TFS, punk! & for reminding us of our blessings. Jeanne S. |

| Great table Punk! LOVE the pumpkin bowls...never seen anything like them before. All of your decor is great, the Pilgrim and Indian, your acorns and your Turkey Plate centerpiece! Your plates are gorgeous and so are your goblets...hope you and your family will have a wonderful Thanksgiving together! |

| Jeanne, the script place mats, napkins and napkin rings are a set. Yeah, lets blame Karen for sharing her bunnies and giving me envy for to many years. I think Candy has some too. Next lets blame Jane for the covered soup bowls. I love her wht ones with the leaves. Funny how we love something new to be on the lookout for tho, right? Marlene, I hadn't seen the covered pumpkin bowls like these before either. I have another size of these stems too. I tried all 3 on this table but it seemed like over kill and I removed them. Thanks Jeanne and Marlene for all the sweet comments. Punk |

| Punk, Thank you for sharing your table. It is wonderful from every angle. Love the Candy shot!! Your new Bordallo plates are perfect with your pumpkin bowls. The green acorn ornaments look so pretty with the lace napkins. I really love your flatware. I'd like to find some like it. Mr. Gobbler is sitting proud I guess he doesn't know whats in store for him. LOL Your buffet looks very festive too. I love the tray you painted to match luvs. I've been thinking about her a lot too. I'm so sorry she is going through this sad, sad time. Nana

| Punk, Your table is perfect! Your great "finds" coupled with some gifts and some already-hads go together so well. I think maybe you meant to show a close-up of the tray, but it doesn't show on my computer. ANyone else experiencing this? Punk, could you post again. I can see a little of it on the buffet shots. Also, I am in love with your giant acorn ornaments. Those are super. I see you |

| Okay Punk...it's me 'Blame Jane' on the pumpkin bowls!! lol Honestly, I love yours...Never seen ones with a handle. I like the detail on them and they go perfectly with your new Bordallo plates - which I'm 'green' over !! All your acorns and colorful accents besides those neat figures look so nice and really create a lovely Thanksgiving table. I can't believe you got that Turkey CP for just $1..what a bargain..and I don't think you need an 'excuse' to buy...hehehe You did a lovely job on your buffet and the painted tray inspired by Luvs..is nicely displayed. Since you're all set up for the big 'Gobble Day'..want to 'Wobble' over here to help me??? lolol Loved everything you did Punk. Happy Thanksgiving! jane |

| Punk, I am just going to say "Ditto" as the others said it so well. Such a wonderful table. As you know I love the Bordallo dishes and have the green bunny ones. I wanted a few with the turkeys and acorns, only in the gold, but have never seen any except eBay and too pricey. (and shipping horrible on them as they are such heavy pieces.) I had hoped to get out to Home Goods or Marshalls and maybe luck up on the turkey ones, but never got to go this Fall. Its so neat you found some!! Thank you for asking for more prayers for Luvs. This week is going to be so difficult for her. But I know she finds comfort in knowing how much we all care. |

| Your tray is very pretty closeup. Thanks for the info on the flat ware. I'll put it on my Christmas list. Nana |
|
| Jane, I would LOVE to 'wobble' over and help you. Yeah right, you know that turkey cp was a steal. Check out this tureen I found close by. Matches my cp so I need it.LOL Karen, I would help you out with gold turkey plates but Nana, I was thrilled to see the flatware had come down Thanks ladies for all your sweet comments. Punk |

Does this make sense. If not I'll keep helping until you get it or we can shout out for more help!LOL So happy to have you here with us. I'm excited to c ur Thanksgiving table. Punk |
|
| Thank you, Punk. I thought maybe you might collect all of the poster's table in one thread, but I also didn't want to highjack a thread. Every forum's customs are a little bit different, so I appreciate your help. |
|
| Punk...I'm so glad you showed a close up of your beautiful tray I love the colors you used. Also love the acorns. I remember when you used to churn out those painted trays like a 'machine' ! It's got to be hard now working all those hrs - doing tablescapes and try to squeeze in some painting time! I'm always amazed over how much you do. TFS jane |

| Oh goodness! I hadn't taken time to read all the posts on here until tonight. I thought it would be a nice "diversion" to read through and take my mind off how empty my home feels. Thank goodness I have my two sweet Goldens to keep me company. ;o) Punk you are just too much. You really made me feel like this beautiful table was "in my honor". Can't believe you found Bordello plates with turkeys and ACORNS on them! Didn't have any idea there was such a thing! They look really great with your soup bowls, and those really big green acorns. What a neat turkey centerpiece too. I do love our "twin" trays, so pretty with the leaves and acorns and the special verse. Very pretty decor, and please forgive me for beig so late looking at it. Jeanne, Karen, and Nana, thanks for your thoughts of me as well. I think this is the hardest thing I've ever had to endure, but know that God, time and sweet memories will help fill the emptiness I feel. Hugs, Luvs |

| Luvs, glad you found this T & B "in your honor." You know your 'Our Acorn Queen.' So glad you're here to join in on the posts. You always have good advise. I hope your going to be decorating for the Christmas Punk |
