Thanksgiving Tableware
1. Bird Bowl by Jonathan AdlerThis bird bowl, made of fired stoneware with a matte white glaze, will look perfect atop any Thanksgiving table.
2. Serving Dish with Dual Handles by Eva SoloBeautiful ovenproof porcelain dish comes very handy. The handles do double duty to keep the hot pot off the tabletop and also let you hold it with one hand and serve with the other should the occasion call for it.
3. Norm Serving-Carving Tray by NORM Architects You will be thankful of this serving-carving tray throughout the year.
It acts as a carving station (catching the juices below), a cold plate (you can insert an ice pack between the top and bottom pieces), and a serving tray (when you use the pieces separately).
4.Avva Breadbasket by Josh JakusThis lovely felt breadbasket keeps dinner rolls toasty warm and make them easy to pass. It opens like an envelope so you can grab one as it makes its way around the table, and later, it'll fold flat for easy storage.
...and last minute Table Décor ideas
If life has kept you running a mile-a-minute and you’ve not had a chance to focus on your Thanksgiving tablescape, try this simple votive idea, or place setting
1.A leaf votiveA votive wrapped with vibrant fall leaves and tied with twine can make a nice addition to a buffet or dining table this Thanksgiving.
2. Colors of the SeasonFor a splash of style, adorn your table with autumn's brightest accessories: vivid fall leaves. Simply clip sprays of young leaves from a tree in your yard (these are from a maple). Arrange the clippings at each place setting, and top with transparent glass plates.
......or if you have a little spare time, try these ideas…..
3. Cranberry Arrangement Cut toothpicks in half. Skewer one cranberry onto the end of each toothpick (without sticking it all the way through). Poke cranberry-laden toothpicks into a crafts foam ball. Cover each foam ball completely with cranberries. Place the balls on glass, silver, or mercury glass candlesticks. Add more fall panache by weaving curly grape vines through the arrangement of cranberry topiaries, or sprinkle acorns around the bases.
4. Shiny Silver CenterpieceTake a step away from traditional fall colors and try a metallic palette. For a shiny silver centerpiece, arrange mercury glass candlesticks on a silver serving tray. Spray-paint small pumpkins and gourds with metallic silver paint and place on top of the candlesticks. To add candles, hollow-out the center of each pumpkin just wide enough to securely hold the candle upright.
5. Vegetable centerpiecesWhat better way to celebrate the Thanksgiving harvest feast than by creating a centerpiece using gorgeous green vegetables. To make the asparagus- and green bean-wrapped candles, stretch two sturdy rubber bands around a white pillar candle, then insert vegetable stalks underneath the band. Cover the bands with a circle of satin ribbon and decorate the platter with a few white mums and coffee berry sprigs.
6. Butternut squash vaseFor a seasonal vase, cut off the top of a butternut squash (about 1/4 of the squash height) and scoop out the flesh. Add water and arrange dahlias, sunflowers, zinnias, or other autumnal flowers in the vase. For a Thanksgiving table, line several squash vases along the center of the table, setting some on footed plates for height variations.
May your Thanksgiving be nice and may your Thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs !

A modest storefront with high impact showing theme through cost effective elements: tree stump pedestals, painted frames with suspended product, blue string curtain with beads, and custom-made tree trunks.
A larger space that expands on the winter theme and implements wood veneered flats (false walls), a rustic table as scenic display, and bare branch trees that enable suspended product opportunities.
Expanding even further, this design implements stylized aspen trunks that are internally lit with colored light, built in acrylic light boxes, integrated signage, and snow textured flooring.
