I am so excited with how my Thanksgiving placesettings look. TaiPan is where I found everything. The placemats were my starting point and cost $3.97. I loved the gold and the jute, so I looked for chargers and plates that would work. The chargers were $2.97, the cream plate $5.97, and the gold/yellow bowl was $2.97. I loved the detailing on both the plate and the bowl. I added the sprig of acorns for $2.97 and the gourd came in a bundle of gourds for around $6.
For the chairs, I bought these sprigs for $2.97. They had some hideous leaves that I hated, so I simply took them out. Don't be afraid to dismantle sprigs and other bunched items. I have found I always like it better when I put my own personal touch on it. The gold ribbon was $2.97 for an entire bolt of 15yds. Tying wreaths, and sprigs onto your dining chairs makes a world of difference.
I bought these turkeys a few years ago and love them. Although TaiPan is sold out of them, they have other turkeys that are still 50% off. Also, Real Deals in Lehi by KFC and Broadbents on 100 East in Lehi still have a good selection of Thanksgiving decor on sale. I simply added the corn this year. If you don't have a lot of decor for a holiday, start with getting a few key pieces and then add each year.
Here's my finished table. I love setting my table for the different holidays. It puts a smile on my face to walk into my kitchen and feel like I'm looking at a magazine page.
