I was thrilled to host Thanksgiving this year, not only because I love spending time with my family, but also because it gave me an excuse to create a holiday themed tablescape.
In recent years I’ve gotten more and more into tablescapes.
It’s another outlet for creativity, and I like pulling things from around my house to place down the middle of my dining table.
I’ve pulled framed photos, shells, and collected trinkets for my tables when hosting friends and family.
Lately, I’ve been feeling like almost anything goes for a tablescape.
You want bows? Butterflies? Bird houses? Tie and stick them onto candle holders or table runners and make it a thing!
(My husband was sure to tell me that placing miniature chairs down the middle is a little insane — I just love a miniature piece of furniture, okay?!)
This holiday, I’ve had a lot of fun thrifting specifically for my tablescapes.
Here, I’m sharing the details on where I sourced all the items for my Thanksgiving table.
- Goblets – Goodwill West Palm Beach
- Glasses – Home Goods (I store these separately / away from our daily use cabinets so nobody can break them, and only bring them out for guests)
- Flatware – Passed down from my mother-in-law
- Crystal candle holders – wedding gifts
- Pink taper candles – Goodwill West Palm Beach
- Beaded/wooden candle holder – Nearly New Thrift Shop West Palm Beach
- Napkin rings – thrifted and gifted from a friend
- Fall wreath – Goodwill West Palm Beach
- Bronze candle holders – passed down from my mom
- Dark blue dessert plates – Goodwill West Palm Beach
- White & blue dessert plates – thrifted & gifted from my mother-in-law
- Floral urn – Nearly New Shop West Palm Beach
- Block print napkins – Etsy
- White vessel thingy I used as a candle holder – thrifted & gifted from my mom
- Glass cake stand I used as a candle holder – found at a garage sale years ago
- Baby girl made this sweet centerpiece at school!
- Teacup I used as a candle holder – thrifted & gifted from my mom
- Dinner plates – fiestaware; I chose dark blue plates for our family’s everyday use because the color hides scratches and they look nicer longer!
It felt like a blessing to be able to make my table beautiful for friends and family to gather around — I hope your Thanksgiving was fab, too!

This is my hobby. 
Love, love, love the way you’ve styled so many pieces into one beautiful table scape! And every piece has a story. So special!
I see you’ve visited the Goodwill Boutique in my neck of the woods, too! 😀 I was there a couple of weeks ago and left with a nice little haul to decorate the Clubhouse at Mental Health America!
Thank you so much. 🙂
I love that! Would love to see what you got and how you styled it all.
