Hello there!
I am so happy that you are here to visit me today…I am joining in with some talented bloggers participating in Gather ‘Round The Thanksgiving Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by the sweet Amber Follow The Yellow Brick Home , you are sure to get your fill of inspiration to set a beautiful table this Holiday!!! Welcome to my first visitors. If you are coming over from Cindy’s home, County Road 407 so glad you are here. Wasn’t Cindy’s table absolutely beautiful? I am loving the red and turquoise together. Next up is Amber Follow The Yellow Brick Home, I can’t wait until you see her table. Love the plates she has chosen. I will have all my friends links to their tables at the bottom of my post.
My Thanksgiving tablescape I am sharing with you today is budget friendly. I hope you enjoy my blue, white and silver Thanksgiving table.
Let’s get started with my table! ~This post contains affiliate links.~ Click {{HERE}} for the disclosure.
If this is your first visit over to my blog you will notice that I love to share some inexpensive ways to decorate our home. Budget is a big part of life, or at least it is in my home. Hopefully I can share some tips and tricks to help you decorate your home.
I started with this table runner I purchased at Dollar General.
I placed the table runner in the center of my the table.
For the center piece I am using different heights and styles of silver candle holders with white pillar candles.
I placed my white pumpkins and a mercury glass pumpkin in keeping the harvest a live a couple more days.
For the base of each place setting I am using my Dollar Tree silver plate chargers.
I am using my every day white dishes. This will make it easy to clean up, I can easily place them into the dishwasher after dinner.
Each place setting has a dinner plate, bread plate, a small bowl and a silver charger plate.
Keeping with the color scheme I am using my linen napkins and silver napkin rings.
I will be placing the napkin inside the small bowl.
Below is how I folded the napkins giving you a step by step tutorial.
- Folding the napkin into a small square; folding the napkin in half and then folding it in half again
- Fold in the sides toward the center
- Gather the center of the napkin together
- Slip into the napkin ring
- Placing the napkin ring inside the bowl
- Taking the layer side and pulling each layer to fan them apart
I like how this looks in the bowl, don’t you? Sort of reminds me of a turkey tail. 🙂
Adding the beverage glasses and flatware to the table.
A few more views of my Thanksgiving table.
I just love the blue, white and silver combo. My inspiration was the table runner. Isn’t it something how it all just blends together?
The candle stick below is a thrift store fine. It was only $1.00…How can you not pick it up?
Thank you again! Stay strong and stay blessed!

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
Your table is both beautiful and elegant…you would never know that it was created on a budget. You have shared some wonderful tablescaping tips with us. I hope that you have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Terrie you have done an amazing job creating an elegant “high end ” Thanksgiving table setting on a budget! This is my kind of tablescape! I saw that same exact runner at Dollar General back in the summer and I really regret not getting it now. I had forgotten about it and in your first picture it looks like an expensive French farmhouse style runner!
Don’t you just love Dollar Tree chargers? Now Dollar Tree has some dark gold ones that have an aged look. I bought four and I can’t wait to use them for Christmas, and I am headed back to purchase their white and gold dishes. I hope they haven’t sold out!
Okay so I have no clue how to fold napkins, and I love how yours look! Thanks for showing us. I am definitely pinning this!
Thank you so much for hopping with us this week. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Amber, Thank you so much for your sweet comments. I have picked up a couple of Dollar General table runners. Both I am so happy with.
I did see the new chargers and for some reason did not pick them up and afterwards I am kicking myself. Can’t wait to see how you style your table for Christmas.
I had a great time hopping with everyone. It was so much fun setting my table and sharing it on the hop. PLUS…I enjoy hopping around to the sweet girl’s dining room to view their tables.
Happy Thanksgiving to you my sweet friend!
Your table is so beautiful and elegant with the silver touches! I love the mercury glass too, it is so pretty! Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you so much Angelina. I enjoy doing the hop with you. Your table is lovely. Hope you have the best Thanksgiving with your family.
Hey Terrie! Your budget tablescape doesn’t look budgety at all! I love the silver mercury glass and the blue touches. That table runner is sure pretty. Your place settings are classicly pretty. So happy to be hopping with you!
Thank you so very much for your sweet comment. I had the best time decorating my table for the hop. Hope to do this again with you. Love your table!
Terrie, I feel like this tablescape can transition for any season… With the addition of different accessories. Love your $1 candlestick find and the silver accents are beautiful!
Thank you Susan. I have to agree with you that this table can be used for any time of the year just replacing the pumpkins. I couldn’t pass up that thrift store find. I am bad about buying things just because they are inexpensive, but then again who could of walked pass that! Have a great day Susan. Thanks for stopping by.
What could be better than silver and blue. So, so pretty
Marty when I went into Dollar General I had no idea what I would find, one good thing about stores like that you just never know what they have on the shelves. I wasn’t looking for the runner but when I saw it I knew I wanted it. I just pulled it out and thought this wold look pretty with silver. I am so glad that I picked it up because I love the color combo.
I love your table!
Sounds like you’re a thrift store shopper like me, Terrie! Don’t you just love it how one thrift store find can inspire a whole decorating theme? Great finds, beautiful table you’ve created! Fun to be hopping with you. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you so much Lora….And yes, I pretty much go to our local thrift store daily. ha! You just never know what I will want to pick up. I would love to shop with you girl! We need to work on a challenge together!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
I love all the colors you went with. It’s just stunning! And the fact that it’s budget friendly is amazing. Lovely job!
Thank you Cate. I love to try to give my followers a table that is affordable. You are so sweet. Thank you for stopping by.
Blue, silver and white makes a stunning combination for your Thanksgiving table. I’m impressed that you found that pretty table runner at Dollar General. I’m going to start taking a peek there to see what pretty goodies I may find. Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your family!
Paula, thank you so much for your kind words. I am very impressed with Dollar General here lately. I have purchased 2 table runners for $6 and they are very good quality. If I were you I would take a peak you just never know. 🙂
You had me at blue!
I love the napkin rings and the way you folded your napkins – I’m going to give that a try.
Carol, You are too cute. I love the blue also! I am glad you like the napkin fold. I like how it looked in the bowl. Can’t wait to see how you style your table with the folded napkins.
Terrie,
I love blue, and your blue and silver table looks elegant and perfect for Thanksgiving. Your centerpiece is eye-catching for the entire length of the table, yet you still have room for food.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Judith
Judith, Thank you so much for stopping by. I am so happy you like my table. Normally we do a buffet type dinner which allows plenty of table space for my guest. That being said I still want enough space so we can see each other to visit. 🙂 Thank you for your sweet comments.
