Squirrels on a November Thanksgiving Buffet Tablescape
I have a soft spot for squirrels. Although we live in a suburban area we still have squirrels that come around from time to time. Sometimes they sit on the wall outside my kitchen window and stare in at me. Someone in the neighborhood feeds them peanuts and I think they are wondering if I have a few too. I did a tablescape with an acorn theme, you can see it here. I have used a few of the same items on this tablescape that I used on that one. I found the beige tablecloth at HomeGoods a few years ago. It has a slight brown tweed design. The Gather sign came from Grandin Road online a few years ago. It was a distressed gold color but Hubby painted it brown for me.
I found these squirrel salad plates on Ebay a few years ago. They were made by Better Homes and Gardens in 2013 and they were part of their Heritage Collection. I love that sweeping tail.
This brown dinner plate was Double Ridge Cocoa Brown by Rachael Ray. They were made between 2012 and 2014 and they have been discontinued. I wanted a simple brown dinner plate and I finally found these several years ago, I can’t remember where.
I bought these Acacia wood round bark edge chargers at Target a few years ago. They were made by Threshold. I thought they would be perfect on this squirrel tablescape. I used them on a winter themed tablescape that you can see here. Search Google for bark charger to find others like this.
This amber flatware was made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought it online at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale several years ago. I have this flatware in a few other colors too, I really like the design. You can see the tweed design of the tablecloth in this photo. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.
I bought these Park Designs squirrel napkins rings at Target online a few years ago. I found the acorn napkins on Etsy a few years ago too. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.
I found the Tag small squirrel place card holders on Ebay a few years ago. The place cards came from Amazon a few years ago. To read about the what, where and how of place card holders, please click here.
I can’t remember where I bought the amber glass goblets, if anyone recognizes the pattern, please let me know. The brown goblet was made by Lenox between 1966 and 1985. It was called Antique Brown. I bought them on Ebay several years ago. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.
I think I found this centerpiece squirrel at HomeGoods a few years ago. As soon as I saw him I knew there was going to be a squirrel tablescape in my future. I had some acorns that I had bought on Etsy and I scattered them around for additional interest.
The two smaller squirrels came from Amazon a few years ago. This one looks real!
Ready for the Thanksgiving buffet!
